White Dove by Benjamin Moore “I’ve used Benjamin Moore’s White Dove in many projects, including this master bath extension, as all the trim in a beach house and on a sun porch in a suburban home,” interior designer Diana Bier says. “I find it to be a calming, creamy off-white with no yellow or pink undertones. It’s perfect with the white marbles that are so popular right now for kitchens and baths.” She also notes that it works with both warm and cool colors equally well (except with yellow, where she prefers the crisp contrast of a brighter white). “I’ve used it with blues, grays, reds and lavender,” she says.
Elmira White by Benjamin Moore Interior designer Charmean Neithart works on a lot of Spanish Colonial homes in Southern California, which are often full of warm wood architectural details and a mix of textures on the walls. “I use Elmira White a lot, especially in Spanish houses. It looks good with smooth and textured walls,” she says. “It has NO yellow or pink undertones, so it looks beautiful with neutrals.”
Wall paint: Muskoka Trail 974, Benjamin Moore; also try Linen White 912 or Glacier White AC-40, both Benjamin Moore; ceiling paint: White Dove, Benjamin Moore Pair your creamy white walls with a whiter color on the trim, ceiling and fixtures. The ivory-toned walls in this bathroom, for example, create a subtle contrast between the cooler white of the bathtub and surround. The effect in this rustic bathroom is a soft glow — something a paler or cooler white wouldn’t do.
Creamy Whites Wall paint: Elmira White HC-84, Benjamin Moore If your walls are already a shade of white and adding a new color isn’t in your comfort zone, look to neutral creamy whites to give the room a warm and refreshing look. Creamy white has an undertone of pale beige or greige, without being too yellow. The added warmth can give a stark room a welcoming glow without adding color.

Chantilly Lace is just the teeniest bit warm (yellow).
I find it best to pick all colors on site with my clients. The sun, local setting and the materials used in the project are all important when selecting paint colors. The ceiling of this room is a soft blue and the walls have just a hint of green so they resonate just slightly with each other and energize the space.
Benjamin Moore’s Decorators White is my go-to trim paint — it’s the best of the best.
White. White is really one of the most asked-about colors. The perfect white is sought after for cabinets and trim. Undertones in white paint are important and can really shift a palette. My favorite pure white is White Dove OC-17, by Benjamin Moore. This white, shown here in this gorgeous kitchen, is crisp with no undertones. It looks great against any color.
Yellow. One of the trickiest paint colors to get right is yellow, but this shade is just right. A tip for picking a yellow from a paint fan deck: Select something that looks almost beige. Yellow is always much brighter on a wall than on a paint chip. This sun-filled dining room is painted in Benjamin Moore's Mushroom Cap 177.

The truth: "Rather than all the same color, I prefer layer varying shades of a color room to room," Williams says. "Rooms can all be tied together with a common trim paint, but varying the shade ever so slightly can help with the flow of the house. This is easy to do right on a color wheel or by creating custom colors at the paint store."
Try Ben Moore's Sepia Tan/1116. If that's too warm, try Blanched Almond/1060

behr parisian taupe..I have used Behr Parisian Taupe in two homes with very different light. It looks great in pretty much any light. I find it warm and cool at the same time, a very gallery neutral that changes in the light of day a lot. Lovely to live with. It's a neutral that still has life...Betty HLI have used this color in 2 different homes. In one it was absolutely gorgeous, in the other, it looked mildly pink for some reason. Test it before you paint, because when it has the right light it's just beautiful, but you can't always count on that.
