White is FINALLY making a comeback, but this time it’s going to bring approximately 90 different shades and undertones to go with it. The trending color for 2019, now gives you an ample amount of choices regarding your trim color, when in fact you simply just asked your contractor for plain white.
“What shade of white, though? Because there’s a million…..”
That’s why I’ve made it a bit less intimidating by narrowing it down to five of my personal favorite warm whites that go with just about anything, check them out:
Now a days, white isn’t just plain and boring white. Instead, we now have several different shades that actually give the name white more character. These different shades of white are separated from one another by two undertones, warm and cool.
Typically, warm have undertones of yellow, pink/red and cool has undertones of purple/blue or green.
Now, that we have distinguished the different undertones, I’d like to focus on a 5 of my favorite warm whites that’s are perfect for open floor plans and even master bedrooms:
1. Greek Villa
By Sherwin Williams SW 7551

2. Panda White

3. Shoji White

4. Roman Column

5. Whitetail

TOQUE WHITE from SW is the perfect balance of Greice undertones. The unsung hero of whites! Perfect for any light!
Macy Coots
Oh yes!!! That color is going to be apart of my next article! I’m glad you also mentioned it because I love it!!
Flavia
I’ll be the first to read! Building a new home and decided to paint the whole house Toque White. Now the debate is: PureWhite, Extra White or Toque in a different finish for trims and ceiling?! 🧐
Macy Coots
Toque in a different finish for sure!
Susan Tiritilli
I like creamy. It is bright and cheerful.
Macy Coots
Yes! Creamy is also a great choice for a warm white!!
Susan
Crème from SW seems to work well with off white cabinets, West Highland White Trim.
Macy Coots
Yes! Love those classic warm whites too!!
Karen
Natural choice is a great Sherwin Williams color, it’s a chameleon
Kinda takes on the shades of color that surround it
Michelle Smith
What colors on the ceiling trim are you using with these warm whites?

Love Shoji for trim and cabs. Kestrel is a good beach white, as it does capture some light but reduces glare. Really nice with Indigo Batik (navy) and Naval. Heron Plume is great with all greige.

SW Toque white is wonderful. I’d say it’s neither cool or warm, it’s perfect in-between. We just painted our entire new condo in Toque.
Macy Coots
I’ve had many clients actually use that color! I love it as well.
Lora
I painted Toque in living/dining and I think it looks blush/pink? Am I nuts?
Flavia
Saw lots of comments on how some lights could turn Toque pink-ish so I switched to SW Drift of Mist and Egret White. This last one a much warmer greide but still very neutral! I have very grey vinyl planks and every hardware is black and a grey couch. Worked great with cabinetry, trims and ceilings in Pure White!
