Alabaster is pretty close, but yes go to SW and ask.

I also love BM white dove and prefer to buy at Sherwin Williams. I bought a color match at SW - they already had the “matching” formula in their system - and it was a big fail. Came out way too yellow. I wound up just buying it at BM. I’ve had success matching darker colors at SW but that time did not work out.

Looks like this was discussed at length some years back . . .

I need help finding a white paint sherwin williams similar to benjamin moore white dove? Does anyone have any suggestions? Thank you!!

When we measure White Dove to capture its spectral data - think color DNA - and look for another color from Sherwin-Williams that has the most similar DNA, that color is Alabaster.

That's why easyRGB says the closest Sherwin-Williams color is Alabaster and that is correct.

However, crossing brands with colors of white doesn't always work out so well.

It starts with each brand's base can of paint. They're all different colors of white to start with.

Then there's the fact that each brand's colorants are unique to that brand.

Some colors of white cross brands rather well, while with other colors of white, you need the original ingredients to make it.

Won't know until you have the color mixed and can test and/or measure it with a Color Muse or other brand of colorimeter.

I have tried at 2 of my clients request at 2 different SW stores to have them match BM White Dove. It can not be done, BM bases are chemically different and take tint differently than SW bases. Save yourself a lot of headache and pay the slight difference and get the Benjamin Moore White Dove. Alabaster by SW is Lovely, but not a match for White Dove. It has a slightly pink tint. I spec White Dove in about 80% of my projects as it is a warm white but not yellow, it has a tiny but of grey... and it seems to work with ALMOST every color making it a great trim color for transitions from room to room, Most of the time.

Good luck to you on your project!

Hi! I know this is an old thread but trying to pick a trim colour to go with White Dove? I’d like a bit of contrast More than painting the trim the same. Thank you!!

If you use a semi gloss or satin trim with a matte or flat wall paint of the same color... the higher gloss will give you some contrast or have the White Dove mixed at 50% in a satin and there will be contrast that will work perfectly with the Flat or Matte White Dove walls. I usually spec from the Regal line in Benjamin Moore.
