Need help choosing a white paint? We’ve got you covered. Whether you want a hue that’s light and bright or warm and cozy, we can help you choose the color that is right for your home.
Transcendent and timeless, white and off-white paint colors offer unrivaled versatility. With their underlying tonalities and natural reflection of ambient hues, however, choosing the just-right white is an enduring challenge.
Factors to Consider
Most Popular Benjamin Moore White and Off-White Paint Colors
These versatile, tried-and-true white and off-white paint colors are long-standing favorites.
How to Recognize Undertones in White Paint
Most paint colors are created by using two or more colors. An undertone is created when there is a higher percentage of one color over the other.
Warm white hues have undertones of red, orange, and yellow, resulting in a soft glow and welcoming vibe. Cool whites have hints of green, blue, and violet, resulting in crisp, clean and fresh spaces. When looking for the “just-right” white paint:
- Visit us and pick several color strips.
- Layer them on top of one another at home.
- Observe the difference between brightness levels and undertones.
- View the strip’s paint colors against your home furnishings to find which white is most complementary.
Our Brightest, Cleanest White Paint Colors
“What is Benjamin Moore’s ‘most pure’ white paint?” We get this question all the time.
From hundreds of white and off-white colors, we’ve narrowed it down to Chantilly Lace OC-65 and Super White OC-152. Both have little to no visible undertone, making them two of our “whitest white” paint colors.
We love Chantilly Lace and Super White for a few reasons:
- Adaptability: Each effortlessly pairs with almost any color combination.
- Super Bright: Both are crisp, refreshing white hues.
- High Light Reflectance Value (LRV): In color parlance, a high LRV means they reflect a lot of light.
Classic White Paint for Trim and a Look at Finish
Clean, white-painted trim is always a go-to. For ultimate continuity, paint all the trim in your home the same Benjamin Moore white paint color. For finishes, we recommend:
- Semi-gloss for trim and doors
- Matte or eggshell for walls
- Flat for ceilings
Designers love using finish/sheen to differentiate any hue, including white or off-white paint colors.
High gloss: Turns up the drama and highlights architectural details. Offers greater durability.
Matte: Provides an understated, elegant finish that pairs with rich surfaces like marble countertops.
Eggshell: A homeowner favorite for its practicality, eggshell offers a soft hint of gloss and an easy-to-clean surface.
