Lick White 04 dupe: common questions

Is Dulux Heritage a good match for Lick White 04?

Yes. Dulux Heritage Velvet Matt Paint - Tinted Colour Match matches Lick White 04 (NCS S 1002-G50Y) at 98%, mixed to the same colour reference, so it reads the same on your wall.

How much cheaper is the Lick White 04 dupe?

The trade match starts at £23.91, up to 40% less than buying Lick White 04 direct.

Is the trade dupe the same quality as Lick White 04?

It is trade paint, mixed to the same colour reference. Trade paint carries more pigment than retail, so it covers in fewer coats and stands up to cleaning. You pay less because there is no designer name on the tin.

What does a 98% match actually mean?

The percentage says how close the trade formula sits to the original, and each match carries a grade: Platinum at 98% and above, Gold at 96%, Silver at 94%, Bronze below that. Above 95% most people cannot tell the two apart on a wall. Bronze is a good alternative with a slight shift in tone, so test it with a sample pot first.

How quickly can I get it?

Next Day Paint tints your colour to order. Order before 3pm, Monday to Friday, and it ships for next working day delivery at £3.99. They email you tracking when it leaves.

Can I try the colour before buying a full tin?

Most trade finishes come in a tester pot, and the page shows the tester price beside the tin price. Put it on the wall and look at it in daylight and under your own lamps before you order litres, because a tinted tin cannot go back.

Can I return it if I change my mind?

Next Day Paint tints each tin to your colour after you order, so they cannot resell it and cannot take it back unless it arrives faulty. Put a sample pot on the wall before you commit to full tins.
