why are you using white on the walls? if you want white, then use Chantilly. (Actually, I'd use Pure White or Simply White for all the trim. they are neutral w/no undertones. Chantilly is a cool white and can have icy blue/green hues) try crushed ice. it's a very nice color on the wall. or BM Pale Oak. this white in the pic is a warmer, neutral white. I would rethink using Chantilly w/your warm floors and gray cabinets.

Hi we are building new house - modern/open concept but not ultra modern. Was recommended to do Chantilly Lace trim/doors/ceiling and paint White dove for bathroom walls, kitchen cabinetry. However I've been reading that white dove while a versatile and lovely colour can look bad next to a truer white eg. White tile, toilets/tubs, chantilly lace, so now I'm worried about areas where these 2 are going to be side by side. Ideally I want a warm but versatile white not creamy and it would be nice to have the same ceiling/trim/door colour everywhere. Should I reconsider these colours together? Or will they be just fine? Bathrooms I could have different trim/ceiling colour but it gets tricky in open concept kitchen, dining room and family room. I can't do paint swatches and don't have the millwork done yet - just have to pick a colour and go with it as this is construction for a whole house. General colour scheme for what has been selected so far: natural oak and walnut millwork, oak floors, black frame windows, tiles grey/greige/white/soft white colours. I've looked at both colours and while I like them each separately not sure about putting them together but I'm looking at paint chips only. Appreciate any advice as I am starting to go crazy researching white paint!!

As you know, whites all have different undertones. With good, warm light, I would choose Chantilly Lace with its blue undertone. Decorator’s white has a green undertone, which I would use in an east facing room.

Oh, I am so sorry! I forgot about this. I will have my friend take pictures when she stops by in a day or two and send them to me to post here. I promise I won't forget by bookmarking this discussion. I can tell you that I just could not be happier. It doesn't appear any other color than neutral white regardless of what direction the sun comes in or if it is at night with drapes closed and lights on. The ever-so-slightly shiny texture of the faux white silk drapes against it looks fantastic too. I'll be back as soon as I can.
