paint ti ting question

[Lethaleigh]

Hi I've purchased a 15 litre of Taubans Antique white and after painting realised it's got a lot of cream to it.

If I were to bring it in, could it be possibly tinted closer to a one third tint (light) Royal Beige or and light beige thanks Leigh

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @Lethaleigh. It's fantastic to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about paint tinting.

Unfortunately, our tinting system can only make colours darker, not lighter. To lighten your current paint, you would need to mix it with additional white paint. Our in-store tinting machines are not designed to add white paint but rather to adjust colours by adding tints.

That said, please feel free to bring your paint to your nearest store. Our helpful Paint Experts will be happy to take a look and offer suggestions that might help achieve your desired colour.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks Mitchell I appreciate your advice, paint colour can really deceive the eyes with different t lighting conditions in store it looked quite white..I'll go in to the store as I don't need to lighten the colour but just alter the colour a bit .thanks again Leigh

I just wanted to check @Lethaleigh: you did initially want Antique White and not Antique White U.S.A.? Antique white has quite a bit of ochre in it, which turns it a creamy colour, whereas the U.S.A is much whiter and only with a slightly creamy colour. However, even Antique White U.S.A. can look quite creamy next to a pure white ceiling.

Well Mitchell I've learnt a lot lol

There's a lot of different t Antique whites, but hopefully the van alter the colour a little towards a beige can go slightly darker no problem .
