A whiter shade of pale

composed in the wee* small hours of the morning

It took nine rolls of paper to line our bedroom walls. Nine rolls!

Now all we** need to do is select the shade of white we** want to paint them.

We have every matchpot known to man. Enough to fill a pantechnicon and warrant it being called over to a weighbridge. All white. Tinge of, shade of, hue, essence of, vaguely whitish, tint of, shadow of, extract, close approximation to, roughly akin to, hint of, not quite white but very similar, white but we can't just market it as that, can we?.

I get the impression our** next bedroom will be white.

* I was woken by the torrential downpour, decided that I needed to contribute to it and couldn't get to sleep afterwards.

We're going to do our hall stairs and landing a shade of white.

I favour a whiter shade of pale, but I have to select some tester pots. He will paint...

Bugger, I stuck that comment in without realising you used the phrase. I probably sub-consciously read it but if I had actually realised it was the title of your post, I wouldn't have used it.
