BM Dove White Trim - what white to use on walls?
Comments (1)Here is the link to the White Dove page on the Benjamin Moore site. On the bottom there are color combo selections. You can click the button to see what BM suggests. White Dove is so neutral you can match it with virtually any white. I personally would want to see some contrast, otherwise the trim blends into the walls. Here is a link that might be useful: BM White Dove color combos...See MoreBedding brand recommendations for bedroom painted with BM white Dove
Comments (1)There is no way for us to tell you colors in your space. My only suggestion is take a sample of the paint when you go shopping. I would proably not do white in a white room but add some color in the bedding in soft shdes ....See MoreBen Moore White Dove in Sherwin Williams Cashmere?
Comments (9)All paint colors have a CIELAB value. It's like color DNA. Those values are used to figure out how to make paint colors. There is more than one way to mix the same color. In other words, there are several combinations of colorants that will result in the same color. That's how crossing brands works. Everybody is using the same (essentially) CIELAB value and paint chip as the target. Sometimes it's easy to hit that target using another brand's bases and colorants and sometimes it's not. Which is why some paint colors cross brands easily and some do not. How well the store's equipment is maintained and calibrated is a factor as well. Comparing formulas - even within the same brand - isn't going to tell you anything. The list of colorants is completely meaningless because the formula is not the genesis of the paint color. The CIELAB value is. The only way to know how good or bad a color match is, is to measure it with a device. Like a spectrophotometer at the paint store or a hand-held colorimeter like a Color Muse that you can buy in some SW stores, The Home Depot, or order it off Amazon. A color measurement device captures CIELAB values from dried samples and the apps that go with them tells you in terms of Delta E how much the two colors, original and the match, differs....See MoreKitchen help! Cabinets look yellow BM white dove
Comments (29)I have White Dove Cabinets, they come off rather creamy to me too, although I didn't want stark white. I had Gray Owl BM walls and was having walls repainted a couple of days ago, painter made a mistake and paint SW Agreeable Gray instead! They of course offered to repaint but family Said they like the AG better, so I had them paint the same up the stairway and large loft room instead. Im no color expert so Im hoping the AG looks as good with my cabinets and quartzite countertops!! I have a subway tile that I found from someone on here that goes really well with WD cabinets. Subway is classic and timeless IMO. I have 5 recessed lights in my kitchen and also tried several bulbs, LED looked to bright and sterile to me, but I my give them another try! Sorry I can't help with suggestions, but will be following your post to hear what others recommend....See MoreLori A. Sawaya
