Suggestions for warm neutral off-white for interior paint
I'm trying to find an interior paint color for the great room in our new build that is fairly warm, light, and neutral (not a very helpful description, I know). Our area is on lock-down so it just got more challenging since I can't go to the local paint store and browse chip samples... (it was already challenging enough for me!) But I figured if I can I narrow it down some I can order samples online or do curbside pickup from our local paint stores.
We have gone through some selection and tried some of the samples in our house already...
Two that are ok candidates are SW Ivory Lace and Magnolia Home Blanched. If possible I'd like to find something in between these (which a fairly wide range). The Ivory Lace is too yellow for me and the Magnolia Home Blanched is a bit too brown/dark for my husband.... There were a couple of others that definitely didn't work:
SW Toque White - too pink, especially next to our red birch cabinets.
SW Oyster White - appeared greenish/yellow in our space
A couple of others I was considering looking at: SW Alabaster or SW Greek Villa. Anyone have experience or thoughts on those? Any others that would be worth checking out? It doesn't have to be SW, those are just the samples I got before the lock down started?
More details:
The living/kitchen area is open - the picture here is south-facing looking into the "kitchen" from the living area . Where the cone is there will be an island and the sink/dishwasher/range will be on the rh side along the wall under the window. The front of the house is north facing so the windows and skylights shown in the picture are all west facing. The room is fairly light/bright but some of the light is blocked by our neighbors house/tree/fence and we live on the coast so get summer fog.
Cabinets are natural red birch, island will be green leathered fusion quartzite, perimeter countertops will be Cambria Newport (light cream colored, not a lot of movement unlike the quartzite). Flooring will be a fairly light wood looking LVP by CoreTec (Everest Oak). Appliances are stainless - GE Cafe with brushed bronze hardware, and kitchen/island faucets are Delta Trinisic in Champagne bronze.

Help! need interior trim color tomorrow off white suggestions?
Comments (4)We have SW moderate white trim with whole wheat. I love it. Really gives a warm feel. Our windows are white and I put up white wood blinds. Next to ceiling our crown blends in. If you stare at it you will see the difference but not noticeable. I can send you some pictures against my white windows and ceiling....See MoreOff White Paint Color Suggestions
Comments (18)Samples are super important. Your money will be well spent. As all white kitchen owners will attest, lighting, other elements in your kitchen, even things outside your house over which you have no control (e.g., vegetation) will influence how your white looks at various times of the day. Using foam board is the easiest way to get a large portable sample. Put it somewhere in your kitchen and leave it for at least 24 hours. Then move it to a different location. I was fortunate to have my two finalists (BM Cloud White and Simply White) on two of my old doors, so I had the right context. At some point you have to stop comparing colors. If you have two or three you like, separate them. You need to stop comparing colors and see how each look as they stand alone....See MoreWarm white to off-white paint suggestions
Comments (20)Oh, and I saw the suggestion of Mayonnaise by BM. I have that in my mudroom and looooove it (lots of natural light and vaulted ceiling). Mudroom BM Mayonnaise:...See MorePaint Help please!!! Looking for warm neutral.
Comments (66)Kautry, There is a Sherwin Williams Crisp Linen my friend used on the walls in her house. I just looked it up and there is also a Benjamin Moore Crisp Linen by the same name. We would love pictures. https://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/color-overview/find-your-color/color/csp-305/crisp-linen?color=CSP-305...See Morezaccaii

3 years agoI like simply white as a warm neutral white. https://campchroma.com/simply-white-oc-117-by-benjamin-moore/ Greek Villa is another favorite, but simply white is more neutral to me. Have you thought about using the same color on the trim but in a different sheen?
I borrowed this from Lori Sawaya, Color Expert & Strategist Campchroma.com
(412) Pinterest · More InfoSamplize.com is great for samples. I've been searching for white also, and here are several samples with the arrow pointing to simply white. I believe the top one was Chantilly lace which was the brightest white sample I had.

3 years agolast modified: 3 years agoIs your lighting in ? If not forget choosing wall colors. Get sample cans and narrow your choice to 3 that you like not tons or you will never get this done. All your lighting should be LEDs in 4000K to make the colors stay true at night. I would keep this simple do thewalls in whatever color you choose in a matte finish and use the same color for the trim but in semigloss it will look like a different color just because of the sheen. IMO this si too soon to be choosing wall colorat all I know builders always want to have the paint done before the floors .IMO I would not do white at all since there are so many undertones with whites I would choose a soft gray/ green instead like Healing Aloe BM I find those types of colors much more neutral the beiges, grays or whites it is what I choose when builders are pushing for paint color.
