A chalky off white
This timeless off white is named after the chalky pigments used in original distempers. One of our Traditional Neutrals, its soft tone is created by the addition of a small amount of green pigment. Lime White has a totally enduring feel, and when combined with Old White or Slipper Satin it becomes both sophisticated and understated.

Beautiful colour change in different light.
I brought this colour for my victorian terrace hallway. First I used the Estate Emulsion as this was the tester I got, but then on reading the recommendation of the durability of the paint in high traffic areas I brought the Modern Emulsion. The colours were exactly the same but found the Estate Emulsion was easier to put on than the Modern Emulsion. The Modern Emulsion is more hard wearing than the Estate Emulsion as scuffs can be easily removed whereas the Estate Emulsion marks where easily left on the wall. The colour is beautiful, sometimes a soft creamy colour and other times a lovely shade of green. I can't stop looking at it. I am very happy with this purchase.

Definitely NOT green undertones
We bought this for our kitchen after looking at this image (on this website) and doing a test patch, but I have to say that the colour is really not shown to its true hue on this website, so beware. The colour is definitely more yellow toned and looks quite a lot like magnolia. I am really gutted as the decorators painted our brand new kitchen area (which is quite big) and we now want to change it but it's a huge undertaking, not to mentioned expensive. I would say that the photo you have used is misleading, and obviously everyone should buy a test pot but the colour on a large scale is much more yellow than it appears here. A real shame.
