My MBR is SW White Hyacinth as well as all of my trim that is painted. I found it in the Country Living 2008 House of the yr. Link below w/ various pictures of the home. There is more if you do a search for the 2008 House of the year on their website. The overall color scheme of the house was ivory, grey and blue.

I just finished painting DD's nursery SW Decor White and on the wall I think that it looks a rich creamy color. The chip scares me though but it was a last second decision as DH walked out the door to get it. I think that it looks great on the wall.

Eddie Bauer Alabaster is richer I think.

What about BM Natural Wicker?

thanks ttodd; I will check out the suggestions. I was going to add that maybe "linen" is another way to describe what I am looking for? "Bone"? Sorry I'm not very good at describing colors. An off-white that is too off to be described simply as white, but not tan, yellow, or peach.

I believe Lancaster Whitewash by BM has a gray cast to it. It's been years since I used it, so the formula may have changed. I thought it was once called Lancaster ivory.

Ralph Lauren Startched Apron...BUT DO NOT TRUST THE PAINT CHIP!!! The chip is tan and awful, the color itself...fabulous. I've used it in three...no I'm up to four homes now with it.

Also, I do like Ralph Lauren Writers Parchment.

The problem with looking for "ivory" is that ivory comes in many colors. Most of it has a bit of cream to it, or tan tones, and antique ivory is actually light brown or deep yellow so it depends on the ivory the paint manufacturer was playing with :)

Sorry, my computer is freaking out. Here's that link. Might be too yellowish for you though.

Thanks so much everyone. bronwynsmom, that's pretty much the exact color I'm looking for. Where did you get the Fuller O'Brien paint? The RL is easy; I can get that at Home Depot - maybe I'll mosey over there tomorrow. thanks igloochic.

I'll throw in my 2¢.....Valspar's "Ivory Dust" (Lowe's). Love it!

The Fuller O'Brien is hard to find, and now that I think of it, my painters had it matched with a BMoore formula. I will scrounge around in the paint cans tomorrow, and find it.
It really is a wonderful color...went with all the other colors I used. Here's the library with the ivory on all the cabinets.

SW Alabaster is a pretty ivory without obvious undertones. It leans to the warm side rather than the cool side, but isn't yellowy or peachy.

I just checked the F-O'B website, which is hugely frustrating! Couldn't find any reference to actual paint colors - but did discover that the color number is A-110. Perhaps that will help, if you have a dealer nearby, and you can find that out on their site.
Meanwhile, I will find you the BMoore formula, as promised.

They have the Bleached Ivory at myperfectcolor.com. (Are we allowed to mention that place? Not sure if it's considered advertising.) It IS a pretty color.

I like SW Creamy.

Bronwynsmom, what a pretty room! If you could post the paint formula, I'd much appreciate it. I'd like to keep it in my files. Lovely!

Bronwynsmom,

Gorgeous, gorgeous room!

Your rooms glow...so beautiful!

This has been so helpful - thank you. I'm going to see if I can get the Bleached Ivory in BM formula today.

Pratt and Lambert Indian Ivory is another! It may be more yellow than what you want though!

Lovely room. It's everything that a room with a mostly monochromatic color scheme should be. It glows with vitality and is not the least bit boring. You've done a wonderful job!

Thank you so much for all the compliments. I miss that house. We did it over from cellar to dome, and although it was time to move on to something simpler with less space and less land, it made me very happy to be in those rooms.

Stay tuned for the formula...

Just received the latest House Beautiful today! There is a home with Dunn Edwards Soft Ivory. Beautiful! Dulux also has a Soft Ivory that looks pretty!

Hi Bronswynmom,

Could you please tell me the name of the beautiful green paint that is in the room with the ivory cabinets. I absolutely love it!Would greatly appreciate knowing the name....Thanks for any help with this.
