Dulux Casper White Quarter Review: How to Choose and Style This Soft White for Your Home
Hello friends and welcome!
I’m Bozica, a qualified interior designer and colour specialist. In today’s review, I’m covering one of Dulux’s softest and most requested whites—Casper White Quarter.
If you're planning a DIY colour selection, or you’re struggling with how to choose white paint and neutrals for your home, this post is for you.
🎨 What Is Dulux Casper White Quarter?
Category: Soft white
Undertone: Very light warm yellow/green base
LRV: 86 – a bright white with softness (not icy)
Best for: Bedrooms, trims, ceilings, open-plan spaces
Also works in: Bathrooms, nurseries, and even exteriors (with care)
Casper White Quarter is a versatile white that adds warmth without yellowing. It feels light, calm, and inviting—perfect for those wanting a subtle, soft white paint.
📝 How to Test It Properly
To get it right, follow these steps:
Compare it to a pure white like Dulux Vivid White
Always test on A4 samples, never from small chips
Use a white background to avoid interference from wall colours
Place your sample near flooring, stone, and fabrics to see how it reacts in real light
These steps are a must when doing paint selection without a designer.
🧵 Pulling a Colour Scheme from Inspiration
In my example, I started with a fabric sample that had:
Casper White Quarter as the background white
A beige with a green undertone
Hints of gold, brown, and soft neutrals
From that, I built a cohesive scheme using:
Casper White Quarter on trims or walls
A beige with green undertone for contrast
Warm brown or tan fabrics for cushions or piping
A textured rug that pulls all tones together
🎯 Tip: Always use your paint samples while shopping for furniture or décor so you don’t accidentally clash undertones.
✅ Best Whites and Neutrals to Pair with Casper White Quarter
Because this is a soft warm white, it works beautifully with:
Beige with green undertones – adds harmony and depth
Crisp white trims (Vivid White) – if you want contrast
Other warm whites – like White Dune Half or Whisper White (if similar base tone)
Avoid pairing it with:
Blue-based whites (Lexicon, White on White)
Creams or yellows with strong undertones
🪵 What Works Well in Terms of Materials
Casper White Quarter pairs beautifully with:
Light oak or walnut flooring
Muted gold or brass accents
Soft, earthy fabrics
Natural textures like linen, boucle, or jute
It’s a colour that feels elegant but grounded, especially when paired with the right undertones in your tiles, benchtops, or flooring.
⚠️ Do not mix more than two neutrals in an open-plan space. Casper White Quarter + one coordinating neutral is ideal.
🏠 Can You Use Casper White Quarter Outside?
Yes—but with caution.
Because it’s a bright white (LRV 86), it will appear even brighter outdoors. This makes it prone to visible dirt buildup unless you’re painting a clean, modern facade.
✅ It works with:
White windows
Beige or grey-based bricks with similar undertones
Colorbond Dune for downpipes (shares a soft pink-grey base)
🚫 Avoid using it near:
Strong blue/black tones
Cool-toned stone or blue-tinted whites
🎯 Always paint your downpipes the same colour as your wall for a seamless, designer finish.
🛏 Interior Styling Ideas
Here’s how you can use it in a bedroom:
Walls: Casper White Quarter
Trims and ceilings: Same colour in semi-gloss for a seamless look
Feature fabrics: Warm beige, soft gold, or green undertone neutrals
Accents: Layer with textured cushions, a statement headboard, or tan leather
This creates a calm, cohesive space that feels light, warm, and timeless.
