Lister/dører/vinduer : Currently painted in a bright white by previous owner

Dear color consultant, We are currently rennovating our new apartment and would like to use the same/almost the same shades in every room. We have a bright and a dark side in our apartment, I imagine we use the same shades in the rooms on the 'bright side' and the same shades in the rooms on the 'dark side'. So far, I have tried different samples and I love 1928 Sommersne. It represents the perfect balance between warm and cold. However, on the 'dark side' (sleeping and childrens room), 1928 would be too dark for the walls. The foot panels, doors, and windows should be a slight tone darker and shinier, while also not being too warm/cold. Questions: - Wall color: Which colors are slightly brighter than 1928 while also representing the perfect balance between warm and cold? - Foot panels, doors, windows: Which colors are slightly darker than 1928 while also representing the perfect balance between warm and cold? - Foot panels, doors, windows: Alternativly, this color could also be a tiny bit colder without a huge difference to the wall color. We are a family with a baby and we currently restore our classical apartment from 1850s in Copenhagen with beautiful old details and original wooden floors. In the picture you see our living room and the empty but freshy rennovated sleeping room. The old tapestry will be removed, the surface of the new walls will be smooth. We would prefer if small imperfections from daily wear and tear can be wiped off from the walls with a cloth. Question: Do you have any recommendations on the type of paint? I'm looking forward to your answer and thank you already in advance for your help :)

Hi, if you want a color that is brighter than  LADY 1928 Sommersne I would recommend  LADY 9918 Klassisk Hvit. For a slightly darker shade I recommend you have a look at  LADY 10341 Kalk which is a warm muted beige that goes well with both  LADY 1928 Sommersne and  LADY 9918 Klassisk Hvit. I would recomment you to paint the walls with  LADY Wonderwall, this is a paint that can be wiped off and washed, for the details in wood you should use  LADY Supreme Finish. Both these paints come in varying degrees of shine. Good luck :))

Thank you, Line, for your advice. Do I understand correctly that there is no shade in between 1928 Sommersnee and 9918 Klassisk Hvit, which is also neither very warm nor cold? I'm concerned that Klassisk Hvid is too bright. We are looking for an offwhite that is just slightly brighter than 1928. Then we could use 1928 for the doors and windows. I purchased the test paint of 10341 Kalk, and I find it extremely dark compared to the test paint of 1928 Sommersnee. The colour on the sample card looks only slightly darker than 1928 but in reality it is very dark. Is there any colour that is only slightly darker than 1928 while being neither very cold nor warm? We are very disappointed with the colour cards we purchased from Jotun, as in some cases the colour turned out very very different (e.g., Kalk, Reflektion), see images attached.

Hi, I also agree that these color swatches don´t look quite right, did you purchase Jotun´s  LADY 10341 Kalk in  LADY Wonderwall or  LADY Pure Color? From the pictures it almost looks like the color above the darkest swatch is closest to  LADY 10341 Kalk, but it is difficult to say for sure based on a picture on a PC screen. If you find  LADY 10341 Kalk to be too dark I would recommend you to have a look at  LADY 12314 Grey Touch which is slightly brighter. I´m afraid that  LADY 1622 Refleksjon can turn a little "pink" or "purple" when combined with  LADY 1928 Sommersne as  LADY 1622 Refleksjon has a little bit more red in the undertone, which in then can turn  LADY 1928 Sommersne a bit "green". If you find  LADY 9918 Klassisk Hvit too bright I would recommend you to also use  LADY 1928 Sommersne for the details. Good luck with the swatches and color selection :))

You can get the beautiful, matte walls that give a softer and warmer interior by choosing LADY Pure Color super matte. Matte walls give you an exclusive feel and a discreet backdrop for other interiors.

If you want a wall that is robust, stain-resistant and extra washable, we recommend LADY Wonderwall, which is especially user-friendly for kitchens and hallways.

Details in wood such as moldings, windows, doors, frames, panel walls/ceilings and furniture are painted with LADY Supreme Finish. It is available in the gloss levels pure matte, silk matte, semi-gloss and super gloss.
You can paint smooth ceilings and ceiling moldings with LADY Perfection, which is a full-matt ceiling paint with a large color range.

It is important that the colors are tested in your home, with your lighting conditions, floors and furniture.

Dear Line, Thank you for your answer, I'm very grateful you're helping me with the colour. It's quite tricky :) After seeing our room in a very matte finish, we fell in love with the look. Which paint would we need to achieve that, and what paint would you recommend for the doors, windows and panels? I attached three images of how the walls currently look. Regarding the colour: - Can you tell me a Jotun shade that is slightly darker than Lys råhvid from Dyrup, while being similar cold/warm? - 1 Picture: Do you know which colour in Jotun the round closet to the right could be? - 2 Picture (picture with lions wooden statue): Do you know which colour in Jotun the wall and ceiling could be? - 3 Picture (picture with the creepy painting in the back): Do you know which colour in Jotun the panels and door frame in the front room could be? (see pictures where I zoomed in) 4 Picture (open living room/dining room): Do you know which colour in Jotun the wall could be? Best wishes from Copenhagen,

Hi, it is difficult to say for sure which colors there are in the inspiration pictures behind a PC screen, but I have found some colors that I think are very close. The shades on the various surfaces in the inspiration pictures looks reminiscent of  LADY 0552 Tudor,  LADY 12314 Grey Touch and  LADY 1928 Sommersne. With all of these colors I would recommend you to paint the white details (ceiling, molding, windows, doors) in  LADY 9918 Klassisk Hvit. For matte walls I recommend you to paint with  LADY Pure Color,  LADY Perfection for the ceiling, and  LADY Supreme Finish for the wooden details such as the doors, windows, molding and panels. We don´t  have the NCS colorcode for Lys Råhvit from Dyrup so I unfortunately can´t help you with finding shades that are slightly darker. Good luck with the project :))
