We used Moderate White as our main exterior color (LRV 74) with Alabaster as the trim color. It is light and bright, but has a softer look than the houses in the neighborhood with the stark white/black trim combo.

I used sw peppercorn and snowbound for a camp exterior board and batten. Love the contrasts in color.

Your thoughts on Sherwin Williams Greek Villa inside and outside?

[emmahlynreyes]

This was incredibly helpful, as I’ve been trying to hone in on a white brick color for a house I’m designing! Thank you so, so much!

I want a whiteish house with an espresso trim or accent. Any recommendations?

[susanmackey]

I was all in on sea pearl and Swiss coffee until you mentioned green undertones. Would dove wing have a similar warm, creamy look without the green undertones? Or Farrow and Ball's pointing? You are the single most helpful source of paint advice on the internet. Thank you!!

My HOA suggests using Anew Gray is the main exterior color with White Duck bands/outlookers and Iron Ore Fascia. Could this scheme also work in reverse with White Duck as the main color and Anew Gray for the bands? We have a stucco exterior. The Gray feels a little depressing as a main color.

I'm considering building an all white home in Las Vegas to reflect the heat.

I bought my old family home. For the first time since my parents bought the house on 1968 I painted the house NOT white. I did a pale green with a coral door. Yep pure SE Florida! 🌺🌴🌞

What do you think about Shereen Williams extra white in satin for the exterior?

Dunn Edwards also has a Swiss Coffee, as well as other awesome whites. A video really digging into all the Swiss Coffee paints would be great. The actual formula differences and undertones.

I'm a newbie ... was looking at White Dove for a small cottage .... Don't understand if I should be flat, semi gloss ... whatever . I lived in a nyc apartment my whole life. Thanks.

We went with Behr Light Granite which has a 72 LRV, but it still looks quite white. We live in a very sunny place, so even this creamy white is fairly bright. If I were to do it again, I might have gone with a lower LRV.

Used Benjamin Moore Pelican Gray and love it for exterior. Many tints to give it different looks in different light. It's not dark and depressing or white and boring. Kind of blue and kind of gray. Used BM Midsummer Night for doors. Amazing backdrop for cedar fence and all of my plants and flowers. By the way, enjoy your videos!

We are painting our exterior white-it’s between Greek Villa or Snowbound. It’s a modern bungalow but we’re going for the modern farmhouse look (white w/ black doors/accents and natural wood combo) What white would you suggest? Or what is the most common white used when doing this style? What color semi transparent stain would you use for the porch to complete the vibe? Thanks!!

What color would you recommend for a south facing house and green forest in the back?

I’m building with Sherwin Williams Pure White, hopefully it won’t be too stark. The front of the house faces West, so maybe the warm afternoon light will balance it.

Great video!! Thanks for all the info! We just found the original wood siding under the ugly beige vinyl siding and we are choosing white to restore and paint it. Our house faces east and I’m so confused! I hate beige and i dont want to make a mistake. Should I lean towards a cool white? I have Alabaster, Snowbound, white dove on my list! The roof is probably going to be grayish. Any thoughts??

Hello, I know it has been some time since you posted this video, but looking for advise. What white would you use on a home that has a 14 foot wrap around porch and seems to stay shaded for most of the day? Also, is there a recommendation for the type/finish that will stay clean. We live in a 40x40 ranch that resembles a barndominium. Thank you so much for posting videos like this one on painting!!

[ginathomas]

Thank you for all you do. What black trim would work with Alabaster as the main body color? House is facing NE
