Best Dupes for Double Cream
Double Cream doubles down on warmth—more saturated than Dorset Cream but shy of full yellow. People dupe it because the tone can shift with existing trim, and washable mattes are easier for hallways. Trustworthy matches hold that buttery glow, hide imperfections, and clean easily.

Double Cream Confidence
Double Cream is Dorset Cream's richer sibling: a buttery neutral that feels heritage but not stuffy. It's brighter than String yet more substantial than Dorset Cream.
Use it in hallways or snugs to soften natural light, pairing with sisal flooring and unlacquered brass. If rooms need respite, let ceilings shift to Tallow or neutral whites.
Testing dupes
Creams amplify when scaled up, so paint large boards and live with them for a day. View near existing trim; darker woods pull the colour deeper while bright whites make it feel sunnier.
Opt for washable paints in traffic zones so the rich tone stays even after cleaning.
Where it excels
Dining rooms, staircases, and connecting corridors look instantly friendlier in Double Cream. Tie it into kitchens with accents of Farrow's Cream or Buff.
Keep lighting warm to emphasise the buttery character.
