The Best White Paint Colours for Your Home

When it comes to choosing the perfect white paint colour for your home, it can feel overwhelming with so many options to choose from. Some whites have warm undertones, while others have cool undertones. It's important to know the undertones of each paint colour so you can choose the right one for your space. In this blog post, I’ll be discussing four of my favourite white paint colours by Benjamin Moore: Chantilly Lace, Simply White, Swiss Coffee, and White Dove.

1. Chantilly Lace

Chantilly Lace is a crisp, clean white and is as close as you are going to get to a “pure” white, meaning it has minimal undertones. It's a great choice for more modern and contemporary spaces. This colour works well in spaces with lots of natural light, as it can brighten up the room even more. Chantilly Lace pairs well with bold colours and can be used as a backdrop for artwork or accent walls. It's also a popular choice for trim and doors.

Simply White was named colour of the year in 2015, and is a warm white with a slight yellow undertone. It's a versatile colour that works well in traditional, modern, and transitional spaces. Simply White is a great choice for rooms with little natural light, as it can add warmth to the space. It pairs well with various woods and other creamy tones, making it a great choice for kitchens and bathrooms.
