One white? No way! A popular paint company sells 140 different shades of white!

And to be perfectly honest, very rarely do white walls work. The stark contrast of a pure white background appears displeasing, not neutral. Try beiges, creams and taupes if you wary of color. Even in the darkest tones, these colors create a gentle background.

Where does white work? On the trim. In my option, a warm white like Benjamin Moore’s Cloud White OC- 130 makes doors, windows and base boards look fresh and clean. Great care should be used when painting trim in creamy tones because this can translate on wood as appearing dirty.
