i also have revere pewter as our main color. we used white dove as the trim throughout and it is a beautiful creamy white. we used Ceiling White on the ceiling. RP is a beigey grey and will look more beige at different times of day. here are some pics:

I loved a creamier white trim w/ RP. To me it had more of that older European look that I see many TX homes have and homes featured on the new HGTV show Interiors Inc.

I always felt that RP w/ whiter trim had a traditional, crisp elegant feel.

I've always thought RP was very versatile that way.

i would use full RP esp if you have a decent width of crown... RP is such a light color and it looks great on the ceiling!!

SRG -
Are your cabs painted with the white dove too? They look great.

All the pics look great. Maybe i can't go wrong either way.

I think part of the problem is i'm putting up samples of the white on textured dry wall so the dove, etc. look really "dark" comparatively. Once the color is up and it's just the trim & paint, it will look better.

Thanks again.

I think it will look good no matter what you go with. I painted my main floor revere pewter because it was the only greige I could find that suited my very yellow/creamy trim - BM Monterey white (it's so creamy that I don't think most people would even consider it a white). It looks beautiful. Thank goodness - I really didn't want to paint all my cabinets and trim :)

Try BM Simply White. our trim is painted this color and we love it. we choose to do or ceilings in simply white also, but we don't have crown.

Another vote for Simply White. I also loved the Dove white pictured above.

Another vote for White Dove. Our dining room is painted Revere Pewter and we have White Dove trim throughout the house. It looks great. I had seen the combination in a whole-house spread in House Beautiful when we were building and loved it. We think that White Dove looks great with all of the BM historical colors.

What a great forum! Thanks for all the input.....too bad it looks like a dead heat for simply white or white dove. I wish there was a unanimous winner so my life would be easier. haha I guess good news is they'll both look great.

Thanks again.

Marshall...yes, my kitchen cabinets are white dove also.

Probably too late here but just did our galley kitchen cabs in RP and Cloud White 50% on the ceiling. Looks amazing. I'm still trying to figure out how to include pics with a post, so not much help with visuals. Good Luck!

I have RP on my kitchen walls with White Dove trim and cabinets. I find there's plenty of contrast between the 2. The gray undertone in White Dove actually makes them an ideal match with RP I think. You'd probably want to stay away from whites with different undertones.My ceilings are Simply White by BM and again, I find the tones work well together.If you're unsure try a large sample board and see how it looks in your lighting conditions.
