I love Swiss coffee-I have it in my new guest bedroom and it does provide the warmth that I was looking for. I also used Chantilly Lace in my closet reno and is perfect for reflecting a brighter white in that small space. Thanks again for the informative video!

Thank you for this video. I was looking for a white paint for my bedroom with north and west windows. Most had a yellow
undertone. Finally, I found
Benjamin Moore Dove Wing. It
was perfect in all light exposures. A little darker, but worked for me.

Thank you, you have really helped me to narrow down my selection of white paint, which I greatly appreciate

Great video! I'm building a home with vaulted ceilings, lots of windows and Southern exposure. Not really a fan of too warm.

Super tutorial!!! Thank you. Our main room faces south and we have large windows, Swiss Coffee sounds like it could work b c it has more warmth and not grey and yellow undertones. I am all about warmth and depth of sort in a white.

Very beautiful colors. I recently painted most of the house in china white by Sherman Williams. Before I had the color paper white by Benjamin Moore but I got tired of it after 5 years.

Hi, Would you review BM Navajo White vs/and BM Opaline? Have made costly mistakes. Colors used, turned out too light and stark. North facing room. Looking for a warm, creamy color. Thnx

Will Swiss coffee, white dove, west Highland white look good in darker rooms with a few east facing windows & 1 north facing window. Would Simpliy white look too yellow? Im not a fan of stark white on walls, but most of the home could use brightening. Woukd Chantily Chantily lace be too stark?

Great video! Do you have any recommendations for the Parisian apartment look? I have read that warmer whites are the way to go. We are looking at Simply White, Mascarpone and White Opulence all by BM.

Thank you, as a finisher of 20+years I learned something from your video. Metamerism!

As someone who only buys secondhand (yes you read that right) paint, partial cans or full cans someone is reselling 😅 I painted my whole main level for under 200.00. They are all whites and expensive brands. Although some looked too blue or too yellow etc, I found they have all blended beautifully and the undertones did not matter once the rooms were refurnished and decorated. So don’t worry about it too much as it will fade into the background.

Great video! What color would you recommend using for ceilings and trim with SW Alabaster on walls? Debating between keeping it all Alabaster or going with say BM Chantilly lace or SW Pure white. Thanks!

Hi Liz, I have a white sectional, fireplace and armoire in my living room. I want to paint the whole house a warm white. I'm worried about so much white. The windows are north facing. Could you recommend a warm white? I was leaning towards, White Dove, Swiss Coffee, Arcadia White. I have light brown hardwood floors. Thank you!

Hi, I just went to your channel for the first time great video because I’m looking for redoing my whole house we have Sherrywood dark cabinets in the kitchen granite, Kitchen and family room is together, but it’s narrow. I do have a two sliding door, but I would like a white color not sure which one my floors, I kind a like a marble look for the shine, beige and creamy white what color would you recommend?

[loril]

Would swiss coffee work in an open concept space with lots of light & high ceilings (French oak wide plank floors)?

[Eveyjim]

Hi 👋! I used White Dove by Benjamin Moore throughout my whole house. It’s my go to white paint.

[sladyalways]

I used White Dove for ceilings, trim, doors and cabinets in my new home. I love it.

[lauraboyles]

Would you use Alabaster on walls with SW pure white for trim and ceiling or do alabaster in different finish or trim and pure white ceilings?!
