A delicate white with a hint of grey
This delicate white has a barely there and almost translucent feel to it, and so shares its name with the old Dorset term for a spider’s web. One of our Easy Neutrals, Wevet is clean, understated and incredibly easy to live with. With its hint of grey, this hushed tone can be used as a wall colour for a neutral contemporary space or on ceilings and woodwork when combined with cooler greys.

Perfect for kitchen
We painted our south-facing kitchen/diner in Wevet. When we painted sample on the wall we were worried it was too cold/blue but once up it is beautiful, soft off-white with grey undertones and not a sign of cream and yellow. In the day you only really notice it when you compare with brilliant white coving and ceiling but in the evening looks really warm. Early days but modern emulsion seems easy to wipe clean. Goes well with white high gloss units, stainless steel appliances and wood worktop. Contrasted with Purbeck Stone eggshell on garden doors and looks great. Goes well with Skimming Stone in hallway - lighter shade with bit less warmth.

A lovely soft white
I bought this colour to go with Cornforth White panelling - see pictures.
Really lovely colour - works beautifully.
I didn’t want bright white walls in fear that it will look clinical. Wevet is perfect it’s an off white that works really well with F & B greys.
The paint has a good consistency. One coat covered the previous cream underneath but we still went for two coats. This is modern emulsion- we chose this due to the great reviews on durability and easily washable as our dog likes the climb the walls!
I intend to use it with ammonite as well in another room.
