The Weather Thread

Both of those are popular neutrals, especially the Hogs Bristle. It’s more a warm colour with yellow / brown undertones. White Duck from memory is slightly green undertones. Yes I’ve spent way too much time over the years agonising over Dulux white paint colours! If you find the HB is too strong you can also go half strength. Or quarter. We did a feature wall in each of the kids bedrooms in Grand Piano as well. It’s also a nice neutral but more a warmish grey or griege as they call it. Good luck choosing. Choosing whites really does my head in. In fact I’m trying to select a white for our toilet now. We had the bathroom renovated last year and used the same tiles in the separate toilet - only part the way up the wall. But the tiles don’t go well with the existing antique white paint on the toilet walls. So I’ve chosen Lexicon Quarter which will hopefully work. Will get a sample pot soon.

Just put Hogs Bristle and White Duck in on the wall in the lounge room, kitchen and bedrooms, both looking to dark for the lounge room and kitchen but Hogs Bristle looking good for the bedrooms so far, thinking of leaving the lounge room and kitchen the colour it is which is Magnolia, still have a couple of weeks to decide.

Just had some solid rain just after 12pm but has stopped now but looking like more rain soon.

You can go down to 1/2 or 1/4 strength with the Hogs Bristle if it looks too dark.

Sydney and rain lol. I woudn't mind a bit of rain here for our gardens but no storms preferably.

Full strength Hogs bristle looks like its going to be spot on for the bedrooms, 1/2 or 1/4 could be ok for the lounge room / kitchen but think the current colour of Magnolia is the go again.

Not sure if it hit 38 but Australia Day 2021 was the last time it got close to this heat

For those interested especially Jaxx as I know just how much he loves this thread. Sydneys Observatory Hill recorded 37.6 degrees at 4.30pm yesterday, surpassing the 37.1 degrees set on January 26 2021. Which was one of my favourite days ever, and was spent poolside at a BBQ with other residents. It is why I could instantly recall it when jaxx could not recall the last time we had heat such as we had yesterday

Temp at airport yesterday hit 40.6 and i live pretty well next door to that.

I loathe hot weather. I'm a winter person.
