The Best White Paint Colors

A guide to finding which shade of white is right for you

White Paint is AMAZING!

I mean you can use it in any room and pair it with any color. I love the clean, crisp look white walls can bring into a home. I use them in almost all my rooms because you can easily add character and personality through your pieces of furniture and home decor.

But here’s the thing… there are so many different shades of white. How do you know which one is best for you?

I’ve been there! Stressing about which white is right for my project and staring at all the samples for so long that they all eventually start looking the same. It’s rough.

That’s why I’ve categorized all my favorite shades of white to hopefully help make your decision easier.

Warm Whites

Warm tones use to scare me. But I’ve learned they’re perfect for adding comfort and well, warmth to any space while still brightening the room.

Here are my favorite warm whites:

• Simply White by Benjamin Moore (I have this white all over my house!)
• Greek Villa by Sherwin-Williams
• Swiss Coffee by Benjamin Moore

Neutral Whites

Who doesn’t love a neutral white? I mean, you can’t go wrong! It goes with absolutely everything.

Some of my favorite neutral whites:

• Chantilly Lace by Sherwin Williams (Definitely my favorite neutral white)
• Pure White by Sherwin Williams
• White Heron by Benjamin Moore
• Super White by Benjamin Moore

Cool Whites

I feel like cool whites aren’t used as often anymore. But, they’re still a great option, especially if you’re wanting a slight hint of grey or blue in your room.

Here are some of my favorite cool-toned whites:

• Decorator’s White by Benjamin Moore
• Paper White by Benjamin Moore
