The Perfect White Paint Color
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.
Chantilly Lace
Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace OC-65. Chantilly Lace is a cool white. Their is a slight blue undertone which works great for the unquestionably crisp look. It is perfect for cooler toned walls.
Decorator's White
Benjamin Moore Decorator's White OC-149 . This is a go-to for me when I do not want to worry. It works in most designs and it a fairly true white. Their is a slight cool undertone but is not very noticeable. Keeps most highly OCD people sane.
Extra White
Sherwin Williams Extra White SW7006 - If you want a whiter than white paint, this is the color for you. It has a slightly cool undertone which allows the eye to see it as a sharp color.
