I'm pretty sure that our local paint store that carries BM, Pratt & Lambert, Yolo and Ralph Lauren brands is locally owned not company owned. We always get great service. More often than not, it's my go-to place for paint. I've also used Rodda, Kelly Moore, Miller and SW. Our home's exterior is painted with SW, chosen because I saw the color on a local home, loved it and the homeowner was gracious enough to tell me the color and brand. I received great service when I sampled a quart and selected a complimentary colors for the trim and door. However, we did have a problem with the paint job that began with a SW's mixing error. One 5-gallon bucket was slightly off in match from the other buckets. We checked the cans and the formula label says the cans were mixed the same way but somehow or other, they were not. That error was compounded by idiot painters who didn't know enough to mix paint from new cans with open cans. Because they didn't and because the paint match was off, touch-ups on our house looked like polka dots. The painters had to go back and paint the whole length of a board and we'll have to do the same any time we touch up. These same idiot painters painted our front door while it was closed! Yeah, we made them re-do it. Twice. And it still wasn't great. They then had the nerve to ask if they could bid on interior paint work. Over my dead body! But I digress. This was an isolated experience with SW and it sounds as though it's not the norm - that's good to hear - but it does make me hesitate about using their paint again.

I need help finding a white paint sherwin williams similar to benjamin moore white dove? Does anyone have any suggestions? Thank you!! When we measure White Dove to capture its spectral data - think color DNA - and look for another color from Sherwin-Williams that has the most similar DNA, that color is Alabaster. That's why easyRGB says the closest Sherwin-Williams color is Alabaster and that is correct. However, crossing brands with colors of white doesn't always work out so well. It starts with each brand's base can of paint. They're all different colors of white to start with. Then there's the fact that each brand's colorants are unique to that brand. Some colors of white cross brands rather well, while with other colors of white, you need the original ingredients to make it. Won't know until you have the color mixed and can test and/or measure it with a Color Muse or other brand of colorimeter.

I have a small galley kitchen, unfortunately no island, just a small penninsula I guess you call it, with a couple bar stools. I’m painting over maple cabinets and have warm britanica counter with greige colored longer subway tile backsplash already in place. The backsplash matches the veining in the counter. So I figured with my darker LVP floors, the white would look best. Just want it to look pretty soft , warm white without too much yellow or being too dark against the counter. Why is finding a white so hard 😞 I actually found the perfect white on a cabinet door at Home Depot, but nobody is able to match the color correctly. i’ve called the cabinet manufacturer and Home Depot and neither can give me the formula.

@tugby It will look like primer, if youre gonna leave the wall bare. But when you hang art pieces on the wall that's a different story. It will actually make furniture and accessories pop! So it all depends on your preference. Im back to square one on colors again. omg! Haha! Pure white looks it can tie everything together. Look at pictures haha! Its either Pure White, Simply White, White Dove, or Alabaster. Snowbound is another beautiful color however I heard its not a good whole house paint color.
