ᐅ Which wall paint color would you recommend?

Since my brother is a master painter and helped me a lot with painting and filling, I naturally bought the paint through him. He works a lot with Sto products. We used Sto Basic in off-white and partly pure white, and for the kitchen and bathroom, the Sto latex paint. Sto Basic is actually a low-budget paint, typically chosen when the bid has to be very competitive. However, it still provides excellent coverage, and our result is very, very good. The latex paint is foolproof—if you can’t apply that properly, you simply can’t paint.

We had (dispersed) silicate paint applied directly onto the filled and sanded plaster. However, the paints are extremely sensitive. If you touch the wall with an object, it immediately causes discoloration.

We would like to use silicate paint for our house instead of dispersion paint, mainly due to the emissions. Our painter has now offered us Sto StoColor Sil In for €1.80 per square meter (about $1.95 per square meter). Since we have gypsum plaster, a bonding primer must be applied before painting.

But wouldn't the bonding primer also cause emissions in the end? Because if that’s the case, I might as well use dispersion paint directly on the walls and save the additional cost.

Safe because of the price?

There are also dispersion silicate paints that do not require a special primer beforehand. For example, Keim is usually only diluted for a two-coat application.
However, I am not familiar with the Sto paint.

Use Keim Innostar. I applied it directly onto the plaster for the entire house (base coat diluted with 5% water, followed by an undiluted top coat). The paint is very easy to work with, provides good coverage, has a good spreading rate, and a nice color tone. However, it is not exactly cheap.

For comparison: right after I finished painting the house, I painted the old apartment with an inexpensive emulsion paint and noticed a significant difference in both application and coverage.

So, I have now finished the painting work.
We wallpapered the ceiling with smooth fleece wallpaper. The walls were painted, all with Alpina Off-White. The bathrooms were painted with Herbol latex paint in a matte off-white.
Off-white is just a shade creamier than bright white.
Someone here called it nicotine yellow, which is nonsense.
