If you’re after a soft, elegant white that brings warmth and harmony to your space, Dulux White Exchange Half might be the perfect fit. Whether you're renovating or building a new home, this neutral is one to consider—especially if your home already features grey-green tones.

What Kind of White is It?

White Exchange Half is not a pure white—it’s a soft, warm white with a subtle green-grey undertone, which makes it beautifully calming and versatile. When placed next to Dulux Vivid White, the contrast is clear—it’s a deeper, more grounded tone.

LRV & Where to Use It

This colour has an LRV of 77, meaning it reflects plenty of light, though not as much as your crisp whites. It’s ideal for:

• Open plan living areas (especially where you want to soften the light)

• Kitchens with grey-green stone

• Bedrooms with warm, soft tones

• Exterior weatherboard or rendered homes

💡 Pro Tip: This colour looks stunning when paired with pure white architraves, skirtings and doors, creating a soft but defined contrast.

Perfect Pairings – Complementary Neutrals

To maintain a cohesive look, stick with neutrals that share the same green-grey undertone. Here are two great options from Dulux:

• Silkwort – a soft grey-green that works beautifully for soft furnishings, feature walls or upholstery.

• Shadow Catcher – a deeper, moody grey with a green base, perfect for balance and layering.

Want a tone-on-tone neutral colour scheme? Combine these colours in different strengths to build depth without clashing undertones.

Flooring, Tiles & Fixed Elements

White Exchange Half works best with:

• Dark wood flooring

• Tiles that have a grey-green base

• Avoid red or orange-toned timber flooring (they clash with the green undertone)

• Test colours vertically, not flat on the floor (the light will hit them differently!)

Can You Use It Outside?

Yes, absolutely! It’s timeless and softens beautifully in natural light. It’s ideal for:

• Weatherboard homes

• Rendered exteriors

• Homes surrounded by greenery

Avoid pairing it with red brick, as the undertones will fight. Always test your colours properly if you’re dealing with fixed elements like brick or stone.

Final Thoughts

Dulux White Exchange Half is a safe, timeless choice if your home features grey-green neutrals. It’s incredibly versatile and works in both modern and classic settings. Just remember—always build your colour scheme before choosing your paint colour. The undertones in your tiles, stone, cabinetry, and even your flooring will decide whether this colour is a good match.
