Hello friends and welcome!

I’m Bozica, a qualified interior designer and colour specialist with over 15 years’ experience specifying paint colours for Australian homes. Today I’m reviewing the stunning Dulux Ghosting Half—a soft, elegant neutral that I’ve used in many homes and absolutely love.

If you're planning a renovation or just struggling with how to choose white paint and neutrals for your home, this blog will help you confidently style Ghosting Half and build a cohesive colour scheme around it.

🎨 What Is Dulux Ghosting Half?

• Undertone: Grey with a soft green base

• LRV: 68 – perfect for open-plan living and bright rooms

• Ideal for: Walls in living rooms, kitchens, bedrooms, bathrooms, and laundries

• Exterior use: Yes – works beautifully on rendered or painted homes

🎯 Always test paint colours against Dulux Vivid White to clearly reveal the undertone. And always use A4 samples on a white background—not a small chip!

✅ Why Ghosting Half Works in So Many Spaces

With an LRV of 68, Ghosting Half is light enough to reflect plenty of natural light while still having enough depth to create contrast. That makes it:

• Ideal for open space living

• Flexible for individual rooms like bedrooms or laundries

• Perfect for creating a calm and grounded aesthetic

And because it has a green undertone, it adds subtle warmth and elegance—especially when paired with the right whites.

✅ Best White Paints to Pair with Dulux Ghosting Half

This neutral works beautifully with warm whites that contain soft yellow or green undertones.

Here are your top pairings:

• Whisper White – a soft warm white that feels inviting

• White Cloak Quarter – understated, elegant, warm

• Snowy Mountains Half – gentle and calm, pairs seamlessly

• Antique White USA – a classic creamy white

• Vivid White – if you want crisp contrast with no undertone

📝 Tip: If you’re painting architraves, skirtings, or doors, I personally recommend using Vivid White to keep flexibility long term.

🧵 How to Build a Colour Scheme with Ghosting Half

This colour is so versatile and works with a wide range of other neutrals and tones.

✔ Option 1: Neutral on Neutral

• Walls: Ghosting Half

• Trims: White Cloak Quarter or Vivid White

• Floors: Walnut, oak, or dark timber

• Other neutrals: Pair with beige or grey tones that also have a green undertone

✔ Option 2: Pop of Colour

• Add greens—light or deep shades work beautifully

• Layer with burgundy or deep blues for contrast

• Use patterned textiles (like Persian rugs) that carry subtle red, green, or gold

🪟 Can You Use Ghosting Half Outside?

Absolutely. Ghosting Half holds up beautifully outside and will appear slightly lighter in full sun.

• Pair with white or black windows

• Use with warm whites for trims or moldings

• Match your downpipes to your wall colour for a seamless look

• Perfect for Hamptons, modern, or classic styles

🎯 I don’t recommend choosing exterior colours without checking undertones in your brick or stone. If you're not sure, book a 1:1 Zoom consult or take my course to learn how to test properly.
