Can anybody recommend a nice warm cream (not an off white) paint for wooden hull?
Many thanks.

Excuse me sir, is that your new name in the witness protection programme!
Blake's do a Pale Cream which I think comes out a little yellow (hides certain stains down the sides!) or Pearl White which is what I use inside. I wouldn't call it 'warm' though.
Just think how nice, she'll look in white! with your lovely brightwork blinding AWB owners. If I remember correctly International now have 3 or 4 varieties of white and some are a tad yellowish. Worth looking at. I don't have an International book at home.

Thanks both. Heron looks just the job and I (personally) think that cream sets off brightwork perfectly.
Chinita is currently in light blue. Just been done one month ago! Actually, it grows on you but is not the right colour in my view.

Epifanes also do a great cream. I used it on the insides of my Sharpie and on the bamboo spars (although I'm going to strip that off).

Look at the Epifanes colour chart - they have quite a selection, and I have been very pleased indeed with the quality of the paint itself.

If you are looking for something with a bit less hue Blakes Pearl might fit the bill.

International "Stone" looks fantastic, I painted the bulworks of the 52" Gaff Cutter with it and is definatly better than white.

Epiphanes is a good paint company, and I was very happy with the stuff, right up to the point where some well intentioned soul ( or perhaps less well intentioned) asked why I had chosen magnolia.
I don't think it looks like magnolia at all. (it's Epiphanes number 2). Never crossed my mind beforehand, can't get it out of my mind now. Darn the so and so. Now I am being told I am colour blind, worse part is that they are probably right to some extent.
The insides of the hull in the cockpit are a Blakes Warm Cream and apparently the cabin is Epiphanes "Magnolia". I went for the Epiphanes because the Blakes was a bit too warm for any one but me.
The whole damn thing is going to be Admiralty Blue and Grey from now on. I know where I stand with those colours.
So I have a lot of sympathy for Chinita's question, what is a nice warm cream for a wooden boat.
