Hi Folks.
I'm in the process of prepping my deck / cockpit for paint. Have decided on Toplac, white.
Need to order paint, but cant decide on which of the 5 shades of 'white' to go with. The options available to me are:
Snow White, Mediterranean White, Matterhorn White, Oyster White, Ivory.

Can someone with experience of international paints suggest a suitable version of white?
The boat is a 70s Quarter Tonner so I don't want too bright a white, which may look unnatural, but don't want too yellowed a look either.

Suggestions?

Thanks in advance
 
Toplac does not fade or go yellow. So choose the one that you like. For decks I would have thought Oyster or Mediterranean would be most appropriate
 
International sent me (proper paint) swatches when I was choosing, meaning I could see them outside, against the other colours - a computer screen won't render the colours correctly. I rang them and had the swatches within a day or two.
 
May be different for OP but I painted my decks in bright white in lieu of original beige gel coat. Looks good but a lot of glare in sun shine. Have to wear sun glasses. So I would suggest if OP goes for white make it the dullest white. On the other hand the brightest white is easiest to match in future for patch up.
However best colour is as close as original gel coat as possible so scratches or wear are not so obvious.
