Faron, Thank you so much for writing back right away. You are so knowledgeable and generous with your time. I just want my walls to look nice and I was afraid if I skipped the primer, the paint may not stick. These forums (especially Michael) has taught me how important it is to prep the walls before painting and I can see how nice my other walls look by following this advice and making sure my painter did what I told him to do. But my bathroom was just painted and I am not changing the color much at all. I guess it is my fault for taking a shower too soon in the room and not putting the fan on in the room after each shower since I have no windows and that is why the paint is now streaking. All the other rooms look great and the other bathrooms have no problems that are rarely used. I do have the guest bathroom that I can take showers in for one week. I rarely use it since I like taking showers in my master bathroom with the glass doors than in a tub with a shower curtain. I only use that bathroom for guests or to wash my little doggies. I guess for one week, I can use the guest bathroom to shower in despite a little smell from my doggie's puppy pads in there. I guess I should feel blessed that my townhouse has 2 1/2 baths and has a lot of room. I just keep the puppy pads in there since in the winter time my spoiled little 5.8 lb Maltese, Sassy does not like to go outside. My other little doggies will go outside in my fenced in backyard on the stones but not the little Miss Princess Sassy who has always been like this knowing her cuteness will win out. I am just changing the color slightly since the BM Navajo White is only slightly less yellow than the Deep Cream and the Navajo White which I feel will go better with the bone colored Jacuzzi and the two bone colored sinks and the bone colored toilet, as well as the taupe tiles up the sides of the Jacuzzi and shower stall. The extra gray in the Navajo White surprisingly does not look gray to me in that room but warms the walls up and takes away the lemon cast that to me just did not look right against the taupe tiles. They are so similar in color and the formulas show it (Navajo White has 4 Less Units of Oxide Yellow and 4 more units of Gray and 1/2 extra unit of Orange than the deep cream color but otherwise they are so much alike in formula) but the room will then appear less lemon but still happy and bright and be semi-gloss like I wanted since I have no windows in it and I want to be able to clean it easily when I brush my teeth and get my walls dirty. I love my new pictures and my new olive towels and new olive rug and I feel they will go better with walls that do not have that lemon cast to them. I guess I should ask the paint store for a "liquid deglosser" and they will know what I mean? I can degloss part of the bathroom except for the tallest walls I will not be able to reach even with a tall ladder since I am not quite 5 feet. Maybe I can do what I can before painter arrives and he can do the rest. I think he is not that tall either (but much taller than me) but has tall ladders and long poles for his rollers. I had the painter tint the primer deep cream last time for the deep cream room and bone white tinted for the bone white room. I guess that was not really necessary since the colors are so light. The painter used the Deep Cream tinted primer for the Philadelphia Painted room telling me it was not worth going out to buy new primer. I wonder if this is why that room turned out more yellow than I had thought it would be.

Simply White doesn't cross brands well. BreakThrough is one of the best products on the market for cabinets so it's worth compromising on color and besides that I never tell a painter what product to use for cabinets or exterior. They have to guarantee the job, not me, etc. There isn't anything close to Simply White in the PPG collection. The prettiest white, the best you can do is Delicate White. It's a good white. It's not stark white but it's not nearly as colorful (yellowish) as Simply White. It's more neutral.

We live in the MidAtlantic part of the US. I have seen it up at various times of day and unless it is really sunny, it looks more creamy/yellowish than I would like. I guess I should just pick another color. Any suggestions for a BM white for house exterior that is a soft pretty white (not cream)? Will be with black shutters, red door, and charcoal/pewter/grey roof. Thanks!

White Dove is beautiful and quite bright. Do you want it less gray? Then you probably want something like BM Simply White or stark like BM Ultra White. Messing with formulas is never a good idea. Go with another brand if you don't like what BM has to offer. White can be a nightmare. My sister and I were each redecorating our houses at the same time. Between us we had 32 different color samples of just white! She settled on BM White Dove and I ended up with SW Greek Villa, neither color looked good in the other's home. Next time, I will definitely hire a pro. Hope that helps :)
