we received an email from a friend who has a background in decorative painting. Jump below for her notes on white paints... • Benjamin Moore Super White (cool white, pretty modern/stark) • Benjamin Moore Linen White (yellowy-peach tone) I love this color, but depending on lighting situation, can look a bit dingey. Has a bit of the Martha Stewart-ness about it • Benjamin Moore China White (pink undertone, not my favorite) • Benjamin Moore Ballet White (a bit taupey, I like it, but may look "navajo white" dpending on lighting) • Benjamin Moore Mayonnaise (hint of lemon white tone) • Benjamin Moore Decorators White (decorators swear by it, but reminds me of China White) • Benjamin Moore White Dove (modern cool white, slightly taupe) I also like: • Philips Perfect color BUTTERFLY WHITE (from G&R paint in SF) - LOVE THIS ONE SO MUCH. slightly lighter in color and fresher feeling than linen white. a creamy aioli-esque white) also very Martha-esque • Ben Moore 925 - clean, fresh and slightly vintage-y • Ben Moore AF-40 LYCHEE creamy yellow white • Ben Moore AF-20 MARSCAPONE slightly pink cast • Ben Moore AF-15 STEAM slightly greeny-taupe Rules of thumb: • if there is green light cast in the space: use something pinky to offset • if there is blue, use peachy • if there is yellow, user cooler tone. Thanks, R.!
