I always recommend painting your test swatches nice and large like the photo above. Lakeview condo project in navy grasscloth and Mt Peak White walls.Ī note about undertones. Glencoe kitchen project in Mt Peak White. This client kitchen and bedroom are in Mountain Peak White. Below you can see some of the warm whites we tested, both Cotton Balls and Mountain Peak White are my go-to Ben Moore warm whites. It works well in more traditional homes as well. Warm whites are great when you want to warm up a space or don’t have a lot of natural light to brighten or warm the room. Now let’s talk about warm whites for a minute. Our mudroom with brick painted in Chantilly Lace. Willa’s nursery with walls and trim in Chantilly Lace. This is a great white to use when you are pairing it with black, as it’s a very clean white. Willa’s nursery and our mudroom both have the bright white, Chantilly Lace, as the wall and trim color. These next two photos are from my own home. Ben Moore Intense White on Walls, Simply White on wood work. With most paint colors, when you have lots of natural light the colors look less intense (like in kitchen) this front room gets less light (and so the color seems more saturated). All walls in this project are Intense White, the trim and wood work is all in Simply White. Finally, Intense White is great for walls when you don’t want white but a warm soft gray.īoth photos below are from a beautiful, single-family home we completed in the Lakeview area of Chicago in 2018. It has enough gray where it feels creamy and doesn’t show the dirt as much. Next is White Dove, which is my preference for cabinets and trim. It’s bright enough but also warm enough to not read “hospital white.” I don’t love the stark white look, I prefer a little warmth and simply white has just a touch of warm/yellow undertones. Simply White is my 100% go-to white for almost anything. It has blue undertones so it can read blue in north facing light. It is great when you need a bright white in low light areas or want a modern look. As you can see from the line up above, Chantilly Lace is the brightest white we use and it has cool undertones. Our most used Benjamin Moore white paint colors are Chantilly Lace OC-65, Simply White OC-117, White Dove OC-17 and Intense White OC-51.
