White paint colors can be tricky. From slight variations in undertones and the need to take natural light into consideration, selecting the best white paint color can be a challenge.
If you choose the wrong white color your home can feel stingy and harsh, but if you choose the right one it can feel inviting, bright, and airy. Today we are breaking down our favorite white paint colors ranging from clean and crisp to warm and welcoming, so you can choose the one that is right for you!
White isn’t just plain white. There are different variations of white that are dependent on its undertones. Whites can also look different depending upon how much natural light vs. artificial light is in the space.
Finding the right shade of white paint that is perfect for your home can feel overwhelming. The best method is to buy samples and try them in your home. This isn’t always a fun process, but it does save time and money in the long run and it ensures that you will love the paint that is on your walls.
We recommend painting swatches on each wall, so you can see what it looks like in different lighting, and can choose which one you prefer.
Benjamin Moore’s White Dove is a classic, warm white with a bit of a yellow undertone, but in some lighting, it pulls a gray undertone. It is extremely versatile and works well in many spaces.
This white also has some warm undertones and is often used for cabinets and trim, but looks great on the walls as well!

This paint color is one of our go-tos! Swiss Coffee is the perfect warm, yet bright white paint color that can work in any design style.
Snowbound is a cool white that is very versatile. It is great for adding this paint color to your bedroom or bathroom because it will help open up the space and make it seem larger!

This paint is perfect for those who want light and bright. It is crisp and modern neutral white that has no tint to it whatsoever.
