Based on your color analysis of White Dove, I believe it may be the perfect color for our new home. I really want a soft white that’s not too warm. I’ll go test it! Thank you!

Yay! Test Simply White too if you don't want something too warm.

This video helped me so much thank you!

I have White Dove throughout my home, living/dining room, entrance and upstairs hall using color drenching walls in eggshell sheen and trim in Satin. My floors are warm bamboo flooring and needed a true neutral. The inside of my front door and door casing is Hale Navy and love the contrast.

Very thoughtful analysis. Great job! 👏 In the bathroom, would one try to match the tub and toilet to the trim/wainscoting….as opposed to following any white/cream in a wallpaper for the trim/wainscoting.😮😊

I mean some colorists would say yes you should, but I don’t subscribe to that. Your toilet and tub will always be stark white for the most part, and I’m not advocating for doing stark white walls because of your tub and toilet. I’m more concerned with matching your countertops, flooring and tile in the bathroom to the correct neutral color and undertone.

I want to color drench most all the rooms in a soft white on our home build rt now . So far white dove I’m Leaning towards BUT it gives off a slight pink undertone when I have it lined up with the other off whites on the wall . Is this normal and it goes away once whole wall ceiling baseboards doors are painted in it? Im also sampling Alabaster which has a slight green tint in our new home (no floors are in yet ) and sampling simply white which is beautiful but it maybe too bright for color drenching 🤷🏻‍♀️ The off-whites paint family keeps me awake at night 😵‍💫🥴☺️

This really helped me so much. 💯. What color do you recommend for whole house in one color. A small house. Thanks.

I'm getting my kitchen cabinets painted and I have an open floor plan. I have agreeable gray walls. Is the White Dove a better option than simply white? Also, what is that blue color on your cabinets? I wanted to paint my island a contrasting color and love the darker color on your cabinets

Hi! The blue is Benjamin Moore Britannia Blue--love it! White Dove works well with Agreeable Gray. Simply White is a bit brighter and will give you more of a pop, but if you really want a softer white, you might find that it's too stark for an off-white.

I’m going to do a video on this soon, but if you are doing a neutral color, you want to make sure the neutral color and its undertone relates to your furniture, and other fixed elements. In the meantime, check out my blog post on how to choose the right paint color, which should give you a good starting point: homelikeyoumeanit.com/how-to-choose-paint-colors/

If using white dove on walls, what color(s) would you recommend for trim and ceiling?

@homelikeyoumeanit

4 ай бұрын

You can do White dove on trim, just change sheen, which is what I always do. On ceiling you can do a true white like Chantilly Lace.

Do you think the greige undertone in white dove will offset any yellow/orange tones from old wood floors?

@homelikeyoumeanit

So hard to know without seeing it, but I can tell you that if your floors are like that you definitely want a warmer white like white dove. When you test, if you think white dove is too creamy for the floors, try Ben Moore Simply White and see what that does.

If I want white dove on walls would that work with white shaker cabinets? What SW color would you use on ceilings and trim?

@homelikeyoumeanit

Ай бұрын

If your cabinets come in standard white shaker cabinets and this isnt as creamy as white dove, no it won’t work. Your best bet if you want to do white on your walls is to go have your cabinet door color matched. You don’t want stark white cabinets next to off white walls, something will look off!

Thank you. We did it yesterday and it came out great. We did it at 50% lighter which is I think more white.

It IS the quintessential neutral off white that doesn't clash with ANY color. In my experience, it makes up a large percentage of all Benjamin Moore colors sold. Both White Dove and Chantilly Lace (literally white base paint with a few drops of gray colorant, so it is a stark, clean white) are SO popular, it is unbelievable. There are 3,500 colors to choose from and SO MANY play it safe with these two. Yawn.
