I really like BM "Navajo White". My decorator also says she thinks it is the prettiest off-white, for what it is worth. I just painted most of the interior that shade. Looks gorgeous with dark wood floors.

@Lori A. Sawaya I really have to thank you. Your questioning why the builder is so strict about only using SW colors motivated me to ask again. I explained that SW has the color-match formulas in their system, nationwide, etc. The home builder salesman I had been dealing with had never had anyone ask to color match & investigated further. I can color match! Also, I did get a SW sample of Behr Silver Drop. I had asked for a quart in a flat finish as that is what the builder will paint with. Miscommunication & I ended up with a jug of Silver Drop in the SW satin sample paint & a can of Silver Drop in a SW (Superpaint) flat finish. Three drywall boards of Silver Drop & 3 different colors. The salesman at SW had told me that the lighter color samples that use Extra White as the base are usually very slightly lighter than the regular paint. I'm going to continue my search & check out BM colors. I so enjoy your posts. We are very lucky that you so generously share your knowledge & expertise.

There isn't on right color. I also have oak trim; I really like Benjamin Moore Putnam Ivory, which is a cream color. BM Elephant Tusk is lighter. Your paint store will tell you the most popular neutral colors. Painting 3'x3' samples on the wall, viewing in different lights and times of day, is helpful.

Hello All, Please give me your choices for the best neutral grey color for exterior. I have painted several sample boards - they either read too brown, purple or blue. Looking for the most neutral read with a medium LRV 32-39 please. So far, the best has been Dorian Grey SW- but hoping for more suggestions. I will cross post this in decorating as well. Thank you in advance.
