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

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!!

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!

I like creamy. It is bright and cheerful.
Macy Coots
Yes! Creamy is also a great choice for a warm white!!

Crème from SW seems to work well with off white cabinets, West Highland White Trim.
Macy Coots
Yes! Love those classic warm whites too!!

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.

Can you recommend a color that goes nicely with grey vinyl plank floors?
