Has anyone used BM White Opulence as a trim paint?
Comments (1)White Opulence gives off an undeniably pink hue when used over a large surface area, and I would personally recommend against using it in isolation for trim. It might work well if your walls are also White Opulence or another red-based color. There is another long thread here at Houzz discussing all angles of White Opulence you may wish to review: https://www.houzz.com/discussions/5358233/benjamin-moore-s-white-opulence-paint-color...See MoreWhich cabinet color-Simply White vs. White Dove?
Comments (134)I always use an extender with Aura. It gives you more time before drying. If you're painting a bathroom, research "surfactant leaching." This happens when the paint in a bathroom isn't fully cured, and you use the shower. Google photos of surfactant leaching. Most paint stores will say latex cures in a few days, but I had this problem in two homes and did extensive research. You get ugly drips down the walls, and they are yellow or brown. You can wash it off, but it comes back. Now, when I paint a bathroom, I wait 30 days before using the shower. That may be overkill, and if you only have one shower, that would not be possible....See MoreHas anyone used BM Titanium or White Diamonds Paint
Comments (12)A note to remember that color is *so* influenced by light, as les reminded on another thread. We have a beautiful BM light silvery blue in DD's bath, just the most amazing tone but I painted it on a door that adjoins the bath, literally right next to it but different light because it's not lit by daylight directly (the bath has a large skylight) and it comes out reddish gray! Seriously. We have titanium in a hallway and it reads silvery blue. No direct natural light (the hall opens to rooms with windows, but has no direct access to windows itself). Short version: I'd suggest getting a sample, painting it on a board or on some watercolor paper, and holding it up in your space for 24 hours to see what overtones come out. You might be surprised. For instance, enduring's version comes out green because green is the complement of the reddish tone in the cherry. If you have other tones, you might end up with what you want....See MoreIf anyone has used BM's Harmony could I get your thoughts
Comments (6)Tibbrix- I loved Frappe but it was way too light , especially on the stairwell. Hollykay is correct about Straw Hat having green undertones. Because of living in the woods I already have a greenish light coming in that area so I am finding anything yellow or yellow green goes greenish. While I don't like reddish undertones, I am finding that I need a color to counter the greenish light. I'm also looking at Mushroom by Ellen Kennon that was suggested by Funcolors. I sure don't want to do any worse than the orangey beige I have currently....See Morelisa_mocha
