WHITE PAINT COLORS THAT TOP DESIGNERS SWEAR BY

If the thought of choosing a paint color pains you, picking out a perfect shade of white is a nightmare comes to life. Pure white? Off white? Simply white? Whether you’re painting a home office, ceiling, or the walls of your master bedroom, choosing the right white makes more of a difference than you’d think. To save you from the headache of trying to decide between hues that seem nearly indistinguishable, we got the scoop from top designers on the best shades of white, and where to use them.

CLOUD NINE, BENJAMIN MOORE

 

"As a colorist, white is seldom on my mind, but when I need a neutral gallery-esque background, I reach for Cloud Nine by Benjamin Moore. I painted the exterior of my office building in this particular shade and it's the perfect contrast to the gloss black trim."
 

SNOW DAY, CLARE

 

"Snow Day is the perfect cool white that has just enough warmth to keep it from feeling sterile. This is a great option for a south-facing room or for a bright white to pair with cool colors."

PURE WHITE, SHERWIN WILLIAMS

 

"Finding the right white is always a tricky task. However, I’ve found that a successful shade of white is one that’s honest and bears no hidden undertones of blues, yellows or pinks. Pure White by Sherwin Williams is an elegant white, which grounds the space and creates a nice neutral background to allow your furniture to shine."

WHITE DOVE, BENJAMIN MOORE

"Our go-to living room paint color, Benjamin Moore White Dove, is a warm white that perfectly complements the fresh pastel colors of this feminine space, creating a calm and welcoming room for entertaining. We typically opt for the wow color moments in the fabrics and accessories, rather than on the walls, to keep the living room a more transitional space and the formal center of the home."

SIMPLY WHITE, BENJAMIN MOORE

“Benjamin Moore Natura Simply White has a slight warm undertone, which keeps it from feeling too sterile (no hospital vibes here). I have yet to come across a color scheme Simply White wouldn’t complement. It also really goes to work in those darker spaces with little to no natural light because the paint color itself simply radiates. Bonus, this is an eco-friendly zero VOC paint for the environmentally conscious!" 

CHANTILLY LACE, BENJAMIN MOORE

“The most universal paint color I've used is Chantilly Lace by Benjamin Moore. I find myself going back to it again and again in order to create a bright white space that is warm and welcoming rather than sterile and cold. In a sea of whites, this is my tried and true!”
