[@marilunavamu4560]

Thank you. What about white for the exterior in south Florida. My house get the sun from the east in the morning and west on the back in the afternoon. What will you recommend. Thank you

[@Tammy-zr9zw]

THANK YOU! It was very helpful to learn why YOU prefer certain whites. Everything you create is stunning! Now, I’ll be going with Alabaster 😁.

So excited to watch your videos again!!

Aw I am SO glad you're here, thank you!

[@irmayorke9075]

It is definitely hard to pick a good white. Great suggestions for picking out a good white for your home.

[@BoxwoodAvenue]

Thanks so much!

It's impossible! Aarrgghhh! I want a great Mediterranean California white! NO yellow!

[@rileyhalls9301]

Would S Williams Greek Villa paint color look too dark, flat, or dingy in rooms/areas with low light levels? I really like it under good lighting conditions.

[@mmcdonald412]

when you are talking about swiss coffee and alabaster, what brand of paint?

[@chelletv8285]

Benjamin Moore's Swiss Coffee and Sherwin Williams' Alabaster

[@rileyhalls9301]

Do you prefer the sherwin williams brand of alabaster ?

[@liz2959]

Thank you! You were very helpful. What is the dark color behind you in your entry? I really love it!!!

[@ushadigiacomo7213]

Such perfect advice! Thanks!

What color white would you use if your furniture is whitewashed

[@TheSansanw]

struggling between Alabaster and Greek Villa. Which one will work better with low lighting, cream sofa, and light natural wood furnitures? Which one has a good balance undertone of grey and yellow that you mentioned in your video especially when the room is dark and rely on artificial lighting? Looking forward to hear from you.

[@BoxwoodAvenue]

Greek Villa will be the brighter option for low lighting!

[@hhhhhhhhhhhhh4927]

Vary the color temperature of your indoor lighting with color temperature of the natural light (cooler temp light for north, warmer for south). Otherwise the color temperature of the reflected light of the white will flip-flop day to night.

Oh I hope you answer - does alabaster tend to look better than white dove? I sampled simply white too, and I find it so gorgeous, but I’m going for more of a soothing feel rather than bright I’m colored drenching most the interior in one color of our new build I literally go back and forth all Day and my builder needs an answer this week 😂

[@BoxwoodAvenue]

Hi, I do like alabaster better than white dove - for more of a soothing feel, also try James White or Swiss Coffee at 75%. :)

[@Alykat736]

@@BoxwoodAvenue 🙈I already turned in my paint colors for our home build, I went with white dove bc it complimented our marble & light gray tiles in bathrooms better. I seriously hope it’s lovely bc it’s my whole house lol. I kept wanting alabaster, it’s so pretty(!!), but it just didn’t compliment all The gray as much as white dove. All my fingers🤞🏻🤞🏻on this one

[@davidoneill4859]

What would be a good white to use on the woodwork with Old White No. 4? Does Wimborne work?

[@johannebilodeau9754]

Not enough pictures as exemple, why not dividing your choice of color in bottom as other designer do? Tnank you.

[@cindyadams4823]

Does Alabaster pull green if you have a lot of outdoor greenery?

[@breannalomax7028]

Tell me more about the sheens. What’s the standard of matte to sheen for wall base board and ceiling ?

[@BoxwoodAvenue]

This is really personal preference. I like matte, many people prefer eggshell. I think matte is more elevated! :). ALWAYS matte on ceiling.

[@HeatherRodgers-o4z]

You literally didn’t show any examples of any white paints. Not with samplize nor photos of spaces you have used the colors mentioned. This video was zero help.

[@LatrinaDeshawntey]

Color doesn’t come across on your phone Karen, you need to understand the concepts so you can pick your own
