It definitely changes according to light. The first day it was painted, it even looked a bit purple to me. At our farmhouse, the kitchen cabinets are painted BM Grant's Beige, the trim is BM Bennington Gray and the walls (which are planks) are BM China White. All work well together.

Sometimes it reads gray with cooler undertones and sometimes it leans beigeish. Edgewood is a lighter shade, which might be a good candidate too. As far as the light blue for the lanai, may I suggest Tradewind by SW.

You might find that once you do the larger panels. Remember that colors go much lighter on the exterior and even more so at the beach. I am considering Chantilly Lace as my trim color. Let me know what you decide.

I have spent countless hours researching whites and like you I want a creamy white with no obvious undertones. I've narrowed it down to Ben Moore Dove White and Chantilly Lace...but that might change once I paint large panels (36"X 48")on stiff boards and walk them around the location. Samplize is very helpful but given the commitment and cost of painting the facade, I felt that I needed more reassurance by making larger boards of the narrowed down choices.

My porch ceilings and undersides of my roof overhangs have always been painted light blue, and I always thought this was done to prevent flying creatures from nesting under the eves. (It does, by the way.) Anyway, who wouldn't want to look up and see a pretty soft blue on the ceiling?Lisa D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08333815608310503191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2395859504434574133.post-48375733764443835632021-12-26T11:01:02.166-05:002021-12-26T11:01:02.166-05:00Read an Elle Decor article of designers favorite w...Read an Elle Decor article of designers favorite whites and chose Valspar Honeymilk.
