Steve, I would line the walls after rigourous preparation work. One thing you could do is cross line the walls. Basically this is to make good the walls with easi-fill (with the woodchip paper off), rub down and size the walls with a thinned out coat of paste. Let the size dry fully and hang lining paper either vertically or horizontally. Once hung and dried, look at the condition of the walls re-fill the bad areas again and rub down. Just size the filled areas only and then re-line the walls in the crossed direction of the first hang. So if you hung vertically on the first, hang horizontally on the second hang and vice versa. Once complete paint as normal. You should see a marked difference in the smoothness of the walls,

Loft is from a similar spot to All White and is likely to read quite similar. Shirting is just a tiny touch darker. Slaked Lime is darker again and looks very pretty in abundant lighting but sometimes it may feel a little greyed in a more dimly lit space. Stock is too dark and too colourful to be classed as a white or off-white. In may appear a warm near neutral in some settings and you may see a degree of greenness in others. Julie’s Dream is from the Yellow-Red Hue Family. ItIt’s both too dark and colourful to be considered a white or off-white. You are likely to read it with a peachy pinkness in relatively balanced lighting.

These are the nearest matches in available & measured paint colours, to Slaked Lime. None are a bang-on match but these are closest of the bunch. The key differences to note are circled. These are the Hue Angles° of each colour. This plots them into one of the 10 Hue Families on our Wheel. Slaked Lime at 90° sits in the middle of the Yellow Hue Family + might pull warm or cool. Alabaster from Dulux Trade is at 98°, in the cooler zone of the Yellow Hue Family, heading on over to Green-Yellow. Calla from Tikkurila is at 88° and the most likely of the 3 to read more warmly. Just something to note though, low chroma (near neutral) colours such as this, between approx 40°-90° can potentially shift a little lavender in some imbalanced lighting. It doesn’t happen in every space, but it may. If it does, the key might be to move a little further clockwise away from that hue angle° to find something similar. 🌈
