Our white colours


White colour - subtle and versatile

White can be tinted with almost all shades of the colour spectrum. This results in a completely different effect for each shade of white used. Cool and warm white tones are created. But of course there is also a completely neutral white colour without the addition of pigments

Nuances of the colour white

No pigments are added to a pure white colour. This creates a clear tone that does not tend in any other colour direction. Pure white can be used neutrally with all other colours. Choose our White with White from the Just paint Collection or CosyColours Simply White

If you want your white to have a friendly, cheerful appearance, choose a creamy white, which has a sunny and warm effect thanks to the addition of yellow or beige pigment. Typical examples of this shade are White with Sun by MissPompadour or LittlePomp White & Friendly. Wool Blanket Beige from the CosyColours Collection with its subtle grey, beige and yellow colour components is also a warm, cosy shade of white.

Our White with Melting is a completely neutral shade of white, tinted with grey and yellow pigment. Grey and yellow pigment is also used in the CosyColours chalk paints Fresh White.

The yellow pigment has been omitted from White with Character and True White from CosyColours. They only contain a slight amount of grey. The result is a clear, pure white that impresses with its softness

Then, of course, there are the many shades of white that are mixed with other pigments. These variations include

  • White with Linden Green with its very delicate green shimmer, which complements all green wall paints and wallpapers fantastically.
  • Blue with Snow with a very light blue touch.
  • White with Powder with its delicate, barely perceptible reddish pigments.
  • White with Ginger with subtle, fresh lemon-yellow pigments.

Effect of white as a wall paint

The colour white is the classic wall paint. We don't actually perceive it as a colour at all. White stands for purity, perfection and new beginnings. You can emphasise this effect with a pure white

White as a ceiling colour gives your room more visual height. Painting walls with a white interior colour enlarges your room and gives it freshness. You can set different accents with your choice of white colour: with a warm shade of white, you bring the sun into your home, which makes the room appear cosy. With a cool tone, you can emphasise the fresh and cooling effect of white, giving the room a modern, clean look.

White colour: also suitable as a varnish in all rooms

Thanks to its neutral properties, white is suitable for all rooms. Whether you want to paint the kitchen, bathroom or living room with white wall paints for interiors or paint a shelf, the kitchen table or the radiators white - you're always right with white paint. If you have painted a coloured accent wall, furniture in matching white varnish will always look harmonious

Tips for the classic colour white

Because white paint is simply white in the imagination, but in reality there are countless nuances, it is advisable to consult the colour cards, especially when it comes to the subtle shades of this colour. Then you can judge which colour shade will achieve the desired effect for your living situation

Living styles and trends in white tones

Shades of white are suitable for many living styles. They go particularly well with Bauhaus-style interiors. This is because a white background effectively emphasises simple, modern shapes. To ensure that the overall impression is not too neutral, combine the colour white with a strong shade of colour on a single wall or on home textiles and upholstery.

White in all its different shades and pigments is also used again and again in shabby and vintage styles, especially on furniture. Here, it is a good idea to paint all the furniture in the room white, but to use several different shades of white.

A warm-toned white is also a must for the country house style. Use white furniture paint for the rustic charm of your old furniture and paint the walls in a light grey or blue, for example.

The colour white is adaptable

Due to its neutrality, white actually goes with all colour shades. Use white as a contrast to other colours or as a frame for a wall in a contrasting colour. Be inspired by our intense colour shades: A wall in an accent colour works wonderfully in a room where white predominates. White is also always a good choice as a calm background for furniture and furnishings in bold colours. Black is a great combination colour, especially if you want to give your rooms a modern look. Paint the plastered walls in your bathroom with a warm creamy white such as White with Sun and use Black with Velvet as a contrast. This simple combination can look very sophisticated with the right decoration

The look is particularly harmonious if you choose a green pigmented white to go with a green colour. If you paint the outside of a cupboard in Green with Forest and the inside in White with Linden Green, for example, the inside will look white but will blend together harmoniously. This also applies to other colours such as dark blue. Our Blue with Midnight goes wonderfully with a blue-pigmented white such as Blue with Snow, while our delicate White with Powder also looks very harmonious on furniture with pink-painted walls.

Matching decoration to white colour

Natural wooden furniture and accessories in bold colours look particularly attractive in combination with White to give your home a personal touch. Decorations in pastel, black, petrol or even sunny yellow work wonderfully with white. Embellish your walls with photos and pictures in bright colours. With a dark picture frame in a matching colour shade, you can make your white wall paint look twice as good.

As you can see, white colour doesn't have to look boring - you can also create a very individual interior style with White

What is the opacity of white paint?

Basically, all MissPompadour Paints have a very high opacity. However, pure white, which does not contain any additional coloured pigments, is slightly less opaque. If you are painting dark surfaces, plan an additional coat here.

Does white already cover the first coat?

The extent to which a wall paint in cream white, for example, already covers the first coat depends on several factors. It certainly makes a difference whether you are painting on plaster or wallpaper and also what colour the wall you want to paint is. In general, we always recommend painting our colours twice so that they develop their full, velvety effect and depth of colour and their full stability

Which white wall paint is free of harmful substances?

All our products are manufactured with as few harmful substances as possible. Our wall paint The Valuable Wall Paint leads the way: it is preservative-free, VOC-free and extremely low-odour.

What effect does dirty white have?

There is actually no such thing as dirty white, only shades of white tinted with beige and/or grey. They have a soft, warm effect and create a cosy atmosphere.

What furniture does white go with?

White goes well with all natural woods from light to dark. It complements furniture with modern minimalist shapes just as well as antiques.

Is white colour warm or cold?

The effect of a white tone depends on which coloured pigments are added to it. A completely white tone sometimes appears harsh and causes the eye to contract, which can make it appear grey.
