If you ask me, personally I think that Benjamin Moore White Dove OC 17 is arguably the best white paint color out there, and although many designers are not abandoning warm whites like Benjamin Moore Swiss Coffee and White Dove, they are increasingly layering slightly deeper neutrals, soft colors, and earthy tones instead of relying on one creamy white everywhere. Now, that’s something I am loving to see and trying it on my own home and with my clients.
Take a look and let me know in the comments if you agree that these 7 colors should indeed replace White Dove and Swiss Coffee and which one would you be tempted to try in your home.
A soft greige with warmth that reads neutral but richer than white. Here, Pale Oak, on cabinets, pairs perfectly with Benjamin Moore Simply White walls.
