For House Beautiful and Delish editorial director Jo Saltz's family kitchen, Saltz wanted a white that felt bright and clean. "Paint is so hard to recommend because you really need to see it in the space," explains her designer, Jean Stoffer, who recommended a few blue-tinged whites to counteract the warm, glowy light from a south-facing window. After living with swatches of four colors on the wall for a spell, Saltz picked Chantilly Lace from Benjamin Moore. Show BUY NOW Cool: Super White PM-1, Benjamin Moore  "Benjamin Moore Super White creates a clean canvas that's perfect for walls where you plan to hang a lot of art," says Baltimore designer Laura Hodges, who used it in this loft. With southern exposures, daylight will add warmth, so use a cooler white. BUY NOW Cool: Paper White OC-55, Benjamin Moore While designers warn that certain cool-toned whites can be antiseptic, in the proper setting, they have a crisp elegance. Look for a touch of gray to keep things from getting too chilly, advises designer Kelly Giesen, who painted her Manhattan apartment in Benjamin Moore's Paper White. “It’s incredibly soothing,” she raves. BUY NOW Cool: Frostine AF-5, Benjamin Moore You should also keep in mind that what's outside a room can matter as much as what’s in it, says Gibbons: “White paint will always reflect the environment around it, so if you have big picture windows overlooking lots of trees, expect some of that greenery to come back into the room.” This icy white with a blue-green undertone was Susan Noble Jones’s key to reinvigorating a sun-filled New Orleans house. BUY NOW Cool: Belgian White HGSW 4025, Sherwin-Williams To enhance this bedroom's clean, crisp look, designer, builder, and maker covered the walls in Belgian White. When paired with white bedding from Parachute Home and simple yet intriguing wall art, it offers a bright setting for relaxation that's anything but blinding. BUY NOW Neutral: Pale Oak OC-20, Benjamin Moore “This space was meant to be cozy,” says designer Kristin Fine of her Connecticut home office. After assessing how natural light moves through the space, she painted the walls in Benjamin Moore's Pale Oak for an inviting look. Additional light sources ensure the room is a welcoming environment from day to night. BUY NOW Neutral: Cloud Cover OC-25, Benjamin Moore “White is super tricky,” admits designer Andrew Howard. “If you have wood paneling and lots of color and patterned fabric, white walls can look fantastic. But white-painted rooms with drywall that don’t get a ton of natural light can take on an insane asylum feel if you aren’t careful. Moral of the story: I love white, but only in rooms that get a ton of light!” His favorite hue? Benjamin Moore Cloud Cover. “It is not too white and doesn’t turn ivory or yellow like some whites tend to.” BUY NOW Neutral: Decorator’s White OC-149, Benjamin Moore This neutral white is designer Timothy Brown’s go-to when the decor skews modern, like in this Hamptons project: “It’s crisp, but it has depth." A neutral white is also perfect for showcasing art. "There’s a reason why galleries use pure white—any undertone will make the wall color noticeable," says Gibbons. BUY NOW Neutral: Simply White OC-117, Benjamin Moore Since whites often appear yellower with a lacquer finish, says Katie Lydon, steer clear of creamy tones if you’re going the high-gloss route. A true neutral white like this one is a safer bet. "It looks cool on the chip, but actually has a nice glow to it," says Lydon. BUY NOW Neutral: Pure White SW 7005, Sherwin-Williams "Searching for a true white paint color is not an easy task," says Studio Ten 25 owner and designer Abbe Fenimore. "What may look like a bright white on a swatch can end up looking too warm with yellow undertones or too icy with blue undertones." For a sharp, clean white, she uses Pure White by Sherwin-Williams. "It works equally well as an oil-based paint on cabinets and as a latex for walls," she notes. BUY NOW Neutral: Marble White OC-34, Benjamin Moore “It’s bright without being stark,” says Jeffry Weisman of his pick for a client’s Bay Area apartment. BUY NOW Warm: All White No. 2005, Farrow & Ball While Farrow & Ball considers All White a neutral, artist Kerri Rosenthal says it has a real warmth to it. “I don’t like too much yellow and I don’t like stark, cold white either,” Rosenthal says. “When the sun hits it, you want it to warm up. I find that with Farrow & Ball paints especially, so I tend to use those.” She used All White throughout most of her Connecticut home. BUY NOW Warm: Fog Mist OC-31, Benjamin Moore Another ideal option for an entryway, this off-white creates a polished ambiance. Designer Victoria Hagan used the color on the shiplap to add subtle texture, making the space feel more architectural than decorative—and more inviting. BUY NOW Warm: Swiss Coffee OC-45, Benjamin Moore This creamy white was the ideal pick for a bright and airy Hawaiian vacation retreat designed by Catherine Kwong. "The lighting on the Big Island is really bright, so we didn’t want a pure white," she explains. After months testing colors, she landed on Swiss Coffee. "It has little softness to it," she says. BUY NOW Warm: Snowfall White OC-118, Benjamin Moore “For a room that’s more rustic or traditional, I like a warmer white,” says Timothy Brown, who used Snowfall in a Bridgehampton project. “Instead of creating contrast with the furnishings like a stark white would, a warm white tones everything down a bit and makes the space seem more cohesive.” BUY NOW Warm: White Dove OC-17, Benjamin Moore Manolo Langis/Courtesy of Christine Markatos Design A perennial decorators’ favorite, White Dove softened the lines of a beachside Malibu cottage designed by Christine Markatos Lowe. “This creamy shade balances out blues reflecting off the ocean,” she explains. “The white helps scatter the light throughout the house; the effect is dazzling! BUY NOW Warm: Pointing No. 2003, Farrow & Ball “It has just the right amount of warmth,” says designer Alison Pickart of this creamy tone, which she used to lend coziness to a high-ceilinged 1930s penthouse in San Francisco. “I loved the color so much that I’ve used it in every project since!” BUY NOW Warm: Alabaster SW 7008, Sherwin-Williams Looking for a white with just the slightest amount of warm undertones? Ashley Moore of Moore House Interiors suggests Alabaster by Sherwin-Williams. "It's the perfect creamy white," she raves.
