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

Thanks so much!

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

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.

[@rileyhalls9301]

Do you prefer the sherwin williams brand of alabaster ?

[@Alykat736]

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 😂

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

@@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

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.

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

What color white would you use if your furniture is whitewashed
