I have Kelly-Moore "Antique White" in every room of my home. It is a rich cream color that changes some with the light. I have white ceilings and white kitchen cabs, and they all look good together.

I think you can mix them easily as long as the white isn't a grey white (it has to be a creamy white).

Benjamin Moore Brandy Cream is a great color, it looks great with lots of different wood tones as well as with white.

I love SW Napery. To me it looks the color of the creamy walls in many of the french country decorating schemes. Nice and soothing. Definitely has an old world feel to it.

Any pics of SW Napery?

I added white soft sheers and white lamp shades to my ivory and cream bedroom with white trim and it really added to the room. My white does not look dirty since I chose whites without gray undertones. I love my bedroom. As soon as I get the sheers on my balcony door hemmed, I will post new pics.

So far I love the BM Bone White and the BM Navajo white. I used to dislike the Ralph Lauren Deep Cream paint color that was matched in a BM Pearl Finish until I added the white sheers to my windows and now I like the color.

My kitchen is a mixture of white trim, ivory cabinets and Buttercream walls. I think all the soothing neutrals flow together very nicely.

One of our bathrooms is BM OC-1 or OC-2 (I can never remember which!) and it's a very nice cream color.

Thanks for these tips! I was not planning on repainting the trim and ceiling (currently white), but looking at them now, I am questioning whether they have too much gray in them.

I am saving these names and getting samples of the recommendations.

dian57, you have a lovely kitchen!

Someone above mentioned not to use a gray white, but a creamy one. What tints are used to make white paint "creamy"? Is creamy yellowish, or pinkish? Or could several different tints create a creamy look?

This is something I've wondered for a long time!

I've wondered too and I think most whites, or at least white's that aren't really stark have some "undercolor".
I think you get, yellow, green, blue, pink or grey.

I bought a house with white walls with a grey undertone and didn't realize till I repainted with a white with a yellow undertone years later. I liked it so much more, the grey undertone I thought was depressing.
I think the yellow undertone gives you that old fashioned "linen" look. I also tend to really dislike a pink undertone and find blue makes me feel cold (ice cubes anyone?) which might be a benefit in a bedroom as I like to sleep in a room on the cool side. I prefer the yellow and green undertones myself but thats just personal preference.
Might be a question for a paint store person.

I agree with you Mary that I also prefer whites with yellow undertones since gray undertones seem to clash with creams and are depressing.

OK . . .so if I do redo the trim (ack!) what white do you recommend that doesn't have the gray undertone?
