Let's get real, picking the perfect paint is tough, especially when trying to pick the perfect white color for your trim. You would think white would be easy when in actuality it is probably the hardest of all colors to get right. Due to variables like types of light bulbs in your home and natural light through the day, white can sometimes look too yellow, too pink, or too blue. The struggle is real! No worries, I am here to give you a list of white paint colors loved by the top designers in the biz.
