Spot Method 3: Clean With Baking Soda Paste
Create a paste using three parts baking soda and one part water. It should have a slightly sticky texture, so adjust your ratio accordingly. Gently spread the paste on the wall with a wet sponge, letting it sit for at least 10 minutes; the longer, the better.
Something that tonalist painters such as George Inness used to do, and what I sometimes do, is cover the whole painting with a thin glaze of a brown like burnt umber. You can just thin some burnt umber down with Liquin and wipe it on the painting (making sure what you've already painted is dry to the touch) with a rag.
Sand the paint back a little using a fine or medium-grit sandpaper until you achieve the finish you always imagined. To age the paintwork further, use Dark Chalk Paint® Wax. Work it into your (still wet) Clear Wax and spread.
When a color is too bright, you want to “gray it down.” This means neutralizing the color by adding its complementary color to any degree that you want—either on the warm side or the cool side—which means the color you make may not necessarily be gray.
Adding extra white pigment to white paint actually DOES make it whiter! It's perfectly acceptable to add more white tint to white undercoat or primer for example to get better coverage. A bright glossy white finish naturally looks 'whiter' than a matt finish, shiny surfaces reflect light, duller surfaces absorb light.
Antique White is a pale, shaded, dusty white with a blush undertone.
Use vinegar. Like baking soda, you can use distilled white vinegar as either a bleach-free pretreating solution or as an additive to a standard wash cycle. White vinegar is an acidic solution that can be used to brighten the appearance of white fabrics.

I used an antiquing wax and a towel to get the wax into those cracks for that antique paint look. Apply the wax and wipe away the excess. Repeat until you achieve a look that you love. Don't forget to let it dry really well!
You could find a muted version of almost any color palette, but the most used antique paint colors are gray, cream, eggshell, and teal green.
It's a technique that involves applying a layer of crackle medium between two layers of paint. The crackle medium is a clear, water-based product designed to create various cracks in a top coat of paint to let the base coat show through. You can use any latex or acrylic paint for the base and topcoat.
Antique White has a creamy, warm tone, leaning a bit towards beige or off-white. This color brings a cozy and soft ambiance to a room, making it feel welcoming and homely. It's great for spaces where you want a touch of warmth without overwhelming brightness.
Antique White is a creamy, off-white shade with subtle undertones of beige, reminiscent of aged parchment or vintage lace. This unique color often appears in classic furniture, heirloom linens, and antique ceramics, exuding a timeless and elegant appeal.
Timeless is a neutral cream colour from Dulux
If you're after an off-white finish, Dulux Timeless paint is the perfect solution. This cream shade is lighter and less yellow toned than others, giving it a subtle touch. This will leave rooms feeling cosy and not as stark as a white paint, like Dulux White Cotton.
Why blue? Well, when whites fade, they also yellow. Blue and yellow are complementary colors, so when you add just a trace amount of blue to the yellowed fabric, it will appear whiter. Savvy washer folks have been using this technique for centuries, often using indigo.
When a color is too bright and needs to be toned down, or you want to create a shadow, mix a small amount of the color opposite on the color wheel to “neutralize” the color. For example, add a small amount of ultramarine blue to cadmium orange to take a little of the fire out of the orange.
If a color is too bright, often the urge is to add black. In reality, using darker colors like Van Dyke Brown, Raw Umber or Paynes Grey are better choices. They have a magical quality to darken a hue without “graying out” the color the way black can.
Mix in a bit of a complementary color.
For example, if you wanted to dull down red paint, you would add a little bit of green paint to it. The more you add of the complementary color, the more grey the first color will become.
