    Hi all,

    I suck at picking colours... so some assistance here would be awesome!

    Just finished painting the house and need to pick blinds to match.

    Wall colour is Dulux Pipe Clay Half (Similar to Pebble Gray Half and Brume Half)
    Pipe Clay Half S16A1H - s16 | Dulux Colour

    Window Trims are Lexicon Half (Semi Gloss)

    Do i get blinds that are match the wall colour or window trims?

    Would an off white colour work or just look odd given that lexicon is a bright white and the walls are grayish in colour?

    I'd go a similar white to the frames.

    Since the wall is already grey I'd tend to go with off white

    So offwhite with bright white frames on gray walls won't look weird?

    Shade of white? Towards a creamy colour or gray?

    Please post a photo... I like the color of sand cream or grey!! Have them in my PPOR with Calcium white walls and high gloss trims.

    EDIT: sorry just read you painting your walls Pipe Clay... def go a white blind... but depending on what type of blind something with a hint of grey/cream would also look good.

    I would go an off white colour and recommend roller blinds over vertical blinds. Vertical blinds are a nightmare with tenants.Roller blinds are easier to clean and look after.
