Barbara Barry's house appears different colors in different photos.

Try Greek Villa

Beverly-Lighting can change the appearance but the first and third photo is the shade I'm looking for. Sherwin Williams and/or Benjamin Moore. Thanks

Take the photo to the paint store and have them match it.

You take the pic to the paint store since color matching on any monitor is impossible

I agree you'll want to take the photo to Sherwin Williams to get help with a close color match and then get sample sheets to see on your home. The photo you shared looks to kind of have a yellow undertone, but again screen monitors can be very deceiving.

I have been to four Sherwin Williams stores asking for a color match and all refused unfortunately.

Look at grays...in the light of the photo. the color looks more of a warm gray than cream so find a paint that reads pale gray even in the sunlght as well.

You won't get help from the stores. But you can contact SW directly on the website and consult with their people. You can send the pic to them online and they will match it. They used to have an app online that did this but it's not working.

Try a different paint company--Ben Moore might color match.

I'll try that although my general contractor only uses Sherwin Williams paint but I suppose it is fairly easy to match Benjamin Moore and Sherwin Williams colors. Thanks

It matters not an APP. You waste some money on soft whites three or four, which Greek Villa is......and there are others. You slap it on and test. The time of day, the sun setting, the sun rising......the shade or lack of it in your yard. the season, which side of the house you are standing on! .......all of it will affect a white !!

Note: she is notoriously fond of Ben Moore White Dove.......and NO painter should dictate brand of paint. He is the execution, not the design team.

Your home Your money. You still must test on site : )

You can’t match photoshop. You shouldn't even try. All the white colors you trial will seem virtually the same: too blindingly white. You need a very light warm tan to equal what that actually is, in real life. Then wear your Photoshop goggles set to ”bright and airy” to brighten everything else around the color.

I painted about five different colors on white poster board, took them outside at different times of day and compared them last weekend. I've finally decided to just pick one and live with it. I'm trying to avoid one so white that it is too bright and stark and avoid one that ends up looking muddy or dirty. I know I may never get the exact shade of the inspiration house but I'm fine as long as it is close. My interior designer feels that Benjamin Moore Dune White is the match. The Sherwin Williams equivalent is Alabaster. I've tried the Sherwin Williams app several times but it will not accept the inspiration photo.

Alabaster is cream not warm gray so you need to decide that first. And very white with LRV in the 80's. SW has sample photos you can use.

ALABASTER

PEDIMENT

Thanks for the like,

Here is Egret White, it seems to bridge the gap between gray and cream

Pediment with Alabaster trim:

I used BM Dune White but on the interior. Here are some pictures to give you the idea.

It helps to see how the white paints compare in undertones to one another.

EGRET is too dark and pink IMO.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

To get a color to show up exterior with that vibe you need waaaaaay more color than you think you do. Don't judge until you see samples outside. If you sample these, put them in order exactly like they're listed.

I've tried the Sherwin Williams app several times but it will not accept the inspiration photo.

Consider it the universe doing you a huge favor and saving you from wasting a ton of time. If the app worked so well, they'd be using it in the store, in the field, on online consultations. No one who works for Sherwin-Williams uses any of the Sherwin-Williams apps.

Sherwin-Williams Repose Gray (SW 7015): A soft, warm gray that pairs well with white trim and black shutters.
