White and Black Exterior Paint

5 years ago

We are having the exterior of our house painted and i would like to have a white house with black accents but not sure which specific shade of white I should choose. I was thinking of white dove benjamin moore but not yet set on that because we dont have much shades and super bright usually in the morning til afternoon so i am worried it will be too bright.

Consider checking out BM Super White. Thought I liked white dove for our bathroom but while at the BM store they had large crown moldings painted in their popular whites. The White Dove definitely has a grey undertone to it. Maybe you noticed it and prefer it. So guess it depends what kind of brightness you’re looking to have.

I wouldn’t recommend Super White for the exterior. It will be way too bright. It works inside but looks too stark on exteriors.

I can't find it right off the bat but I was on this site yesterday and she talked about white paint exteriors and how to choose the right white. You may want to hunt around on it to see if you can come across it. https://mariakillam.com/?s=exterior+white
