Funnily enough have been researching and compiling the following list today of white paint. We must be plugged into the interior decorating zeitgeist!

Benjamin Moore (B.M) - pure white (gray undertones)
B.J white dove
B.J decorators white (can make white cabinets look creamy)
B.J Chantilly lace (good for dark rooms)


Dulux snowdrift (perfect for hanging painting)

For Woodwork, moulding etc

Farrow and Ball - All white (in an enamel oil-base high gloss)
Benjamin Moore super white in semi gloss for trim

BM Aura Matte

For cabinets advance from Benjamin its a great product

We recently featured architect Carl Abbot on scoop.it and Facebook. I found this interesting fact about him..."Porter Paint calls it 'Abbott White,'" said the architect. "It has red and yellow and black. It's not a cold white. It's a warm white." Perhaps you can start there to figure out if you want a warm white or cool?

So many people on Houzz have used BM White Dove, so we decided to trust their experiences and went with White Dove for our cabinets and trim. We couldn't be happier. It seems to be a very middle-of-the-road white: not yellowish, but not stark, operating room white either. We too have dark floors. Hope that helps!

won't paint my kitchen cabinets til i decide about a wall coming down. the ben moore dlr swears by their oil based paint for cabinets. it's not aura. i forget the name but any BM store will be able to help. he claims doing a coat of primer and just one coat of paint and no sealer will give a perfect finish.
