Hi everyone!

We’re working on repainting our Dutch colonial home, and I’m stuck between three Benjamin Moore exterior colors: Chantilly Lace OC-65, Simply White OC-117, and Classic Gray OC-23. I’m set on Essex Green HC-188 for the shutters and front door.

When I put Classic Gray next to Essex Green, they just don’t seem to complement each other as well as I hoped—it feels like I need a brighter white. The exterior paint will be the same for both the trim and walls, so I’d love a color that enhances Essex Green without looking too stark or too warm. Any advice on which shade of white might work best? Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you in advance!
