I guess it depends on the architecture of the home. I have never seen this paint color not lean yellow. It would not be the white I would select for most stucco homes. You might consider BM Alabaster if you want a warm white appearance.

Thank you.

You will have to test on your house with your particular orientation and landscaping. Someone in my neighborhood painted their house and it looked good. If I remember correctly it was BM Navajo White. When I tested it on my new build the color looked like neon highlighter yellow! Our houses had completely different orientation and they had mature landscaping.

I ended up using BM Seapearl and at certain times of day I still find it a bit too yellow. My HOA was being a pain at the time with house colors. My first choice was BM Classic Gray.

Thank you for your comments! So here is what happened and I am basically crying over spilled milk. The first photo is the color of our house when we purchased it. The second photo is a sample of shoji white next to a sample of Navajo white by Benjamin Moore on top of the current gold color. I was positive I was going to use shoji white until I saw how bright white the sample was and it was reading a tiny bit grey. I then shifted to the BM Navajo white thinking that’s what I wanted, something more creamy but still sharp. At this time, I also considered Swiss coffee, but that also seemed a little too bright. However, Once they painted the primer on and I revisited the Navajo white I could see that it had more yellow than I realized.. And that I should’ve gone with Swiss coffee. ugh. (Also..The brick and mortar has a lot of green and red and I felt like those colors did not work well with the shoji white). I was very convicted that I wanted the Navajo. However once the primer was on and I compared the colors again Against a really white background I freaked out thinking the Navajo was too dark and creamy and not going to give me the crisp hacienda/modern Spanish style that I was looking for. Unfortunately my painter had already bought the Navajo white yesterday and I am unable to change it unless I buy all new paint. As we speak they are putting a coat of Navajo white on the front of the house and I will look at it and make a final decision and post a pic…Just so that those of you who like design drama can follow along lol… I now realize that I should have used alabaster or Swiss coffee by Benjamin Moore. The interior of my entire home is alabaster and I love it I just felt like in the Texas sun it might be a little too much. And yes, I ordered samples of At least seven colors and put them all over every corner of the exterior of our home in this process…siggghhhhh
So this is me, just learning the hard way to go with my gut:(

Pics of original color, shoji and Navajo

Some photos I saved while doing my own search ... depending on orientation, time of day and landscaping some of these are hard to tell apart!

Thank you for the pics. I had a hard time finding clear pictures like those with the actual paint colors listed…ugh I should have asked all of you first!

First coat is up and it is not too bad in the shade. It does make the garage door and trim a bit more green, but that’s not too bad. Still longing for Swiss coffee haha..but I will most likely have to live with the color I (panick) picked.

Chispa, in the picture of the Sea Pearl exterior see how the (what I call eyebrows) trim over the windows is different than garage door, kind of a mushroomish color? I plan to paint ours as well…something to pull in the brick, trim and garage doors…thoughts?

I think all the lintels should be the same color. I would match them to the garage door and soffit/fascia color.

Thanks for the update, looks great.

It looks fantastic, so much better than it originally did.

oh it looks great! You must be so pleased - I love that color and just used it for almost the entire interior of a new lake build (its mellowness helps knock back all the new build feel)
