    Thank you Lori! Does White Dove work with Accessible? What would be your preference considering the carpet ?

    Would it be White Dove, Alabaster. Dover White?

    Oh geeze, I forgot to include the color you asked about! lol! :)

    White Dove's color notation is 5.43 Y hue / 9.22 value / 0.57 chroma.

    So, it's right there with Alabaster. In fact, Alabaster is noted as the best "match" for White Dove when you look it up on easyrgb's new site: http://goo.gl/QvFaIq

    White Dove has just a little less chroma than Alabaster. When you line all three of the paint chips up to compare, it's pretty easy to see that White Dove is the most neutral due to its low chroma.

    So, yes, White Dove is absolutely an option.

    I would get big chips of each and pull everything together in the space and evaluate how everything works together - and choose the trim color from there.

    Just make sure the carpet is flat and the trim color chips are propped up vertically so you get a good read oh how they'll actually be situated in the space.

    You can order big chips from Sherwin Williams here: http://goo.gl/G7Q6tq

    Lori, I wish I could express how helpful your information is. I use Accessible Beige with many clients and I have used several different whites mostly from Sherwin Willaims but this posting of yours is beyond the best I have ever found. Thank you.

    I personally think it is a mistake to only think in terms of the one area. Remember, when a door is opened, its color shows into that other area. Also, that whole room becomes visible from some viewpoint simultaneously with the other area.

    Whatever the white chosen, makes sure it is agreeable with other color choices in the house. Using a common woodwork color will simplify your life, and ultimately lower your painter's estimate for your job.

    Also keep in mind that many of the "clear" white colors contain little or no lamp black or raw umber. What this means is that you sacrifice the covering ability of that white, i.e. you may well have to do 2 coats to get the old woodwork color blanked out.

    I doubt it would look good with your carpet but I have 11ft ceilings and the beige is close to white so I'm going with Benjamin Moore Texas Leather on trim and doors.

    Just came about this when I searched accessible beige, and I am so appreciative of the talent of this group and the willingness to share <3

    what do you think about accessible beige at 50% with white dove trim

  • 5 years ago

    Hi everyone! HUGE dilemma here. When Repose Gray became so popular, I thought I was going to change my whole house to that color. I started with my master bedroom and used Decorators White from Benjamin Moore on the ceilings and the trim and Repose Gray on the walls. With the gray color now seeming to be on the way out, we have decided to go with Accessible Beige from Sherwin-Williams throughout the main living areas. I am not sure that BM Decorators White is the right fit for the ceiling when we are going with Accessible Beige on the walls. My husband wants Decorators White to be the ceiling color throughout the whole house. Thoughts?
