Finding the Right White

With so many shades of white out there, it can be difficult to choose the perfect one for a space. From modern and minimal to warm and inviting, to help inspire you a bit more, here are 5 of our favorite shades of white that we’ve used and that we think you’ll love too.

1. Pure White by Sherwin-Williams

Versatile, clean, and soft with a subtle warmth to keep the room from feeling too stark or cold. Because of its wide range of undertones, this color pairs nicely with many other colors or materials.

2. White Heron by Sherwin-Williams

A crisp white with subtle gray undertones that give it a sophisticated and modern appearance. Unlike other warmer whites, White Heron leans more neutral which allows it to work best in areas with a large amount of natural light since the cool tones balance the warmth of a room.

3. Wind’s Breath by Benjamin Moore

This light ‘greige’ offers subtle warm and earthy tones to help give a ‘cozy’ atmosphere. This color pairs well with other, brighter whites to help add dimension to a room. We recommend this color for an understated and classic look.

4. All White by Farrow and Ball

One of the purest whites available as it has no added undertones or pigments. Our favorite use of this color is for more contemporary looks that call for high contrast and a large amount of natural light.

5. Wimborne by Farrow and Ball

Lastly, this white is a soft, warm white with gentle cream undertones that make it feel more welcoming and comforting than a stark white. Without being too yellow, this subtle warmth feels fresh and can pair well with soft pastels and earth tones.
