Hello & welcome to my Ted Talk-length comment! We recently painted the majority of our interior walls this color & I absolutely love it but here’s why it works for our space & what you may need to consider for yours… 1. We have semi-dark stained oak wood floors that skew from a walnutty brown to a cool gray depending on the grain of each wood plank. Dover works because the cool & dark tones of the floor offsets the warmer tones in this paint so that the creamy tones (my preference) show through. If you have warmer mid-tone floors, this may not work for you as you’ll probably see more yellow coming through (unless you prefer that). 2. We live in an area with prolonged winters & LOTS of gray, rainy days (nearly half the year). These are the days I really love this color the most. I have used other whites in other homes (simply white, greek villa, swiss coffee, cloud white, white dove) and on these gray days, another undertone would show through like blue, green, pink, gray, or yellow but with Dover white, I only see a creamy neutral white color. The creaminess of this paint gives a warmth & glow to our home that other whites were not able to achieve, especially on these gray days. If you live in an area with a ton of sun & bright/hot days, I’d pass on this color as it will probably warm your home up too much. And finally, 3. Most of our furniture is off-white/cream/ivory/beige - aka tones of white. If we put our mostly ivory furniture up against stark white walls, the furniture would look dingy & aged vs crisp & fresh. Dover white, however, compliments the whites in our upholstery without overpowering it like a hued paint color would & it keeps the furniture appearing cleaner than a brighter white would. Hope this helps you find your perfect paint color!
I’m getting ready to paint the exterior of my home a white color ... I was looking at west highland white. I was going to use a trim color. It’s a modern house. I’m putting in a custom Steele door. It’s a very tough decision !
I put dover white on the walls, less yellow than creamy white. And I put extra white on the trim. There is contrast.
I painted my rental units dover white.everything walls, ceiling, trim and put and it glowed clean and warm. It was quick and easy. Mini blinds on every window were all alabaster . Looked great
Awesomeness! In happy for you and thank you for sharing your experience:)
I love the Dover white on my trim. I am painting bedroom walls and am considering doing Dover white on the walls too. I’m after a creamy white on walls to pair with the cane distressed white bed and neutral dresser and distressed white endtables.
I painted kitchen cabinets Dover white and it looks amazing. I wonder if I can share a picture.
I love the dover white and thinking of using dusty olive Valspar the bottom part of my kitchen cabinets instead of clary sage. having difficult time deciding on the trims? I am trying to achieve country style kitchen. thank you
Great video. What color would have worked for kitchen two? Thanks in advance!
I used Nacre in my north east facing living/dining room and I’m not happy with it. It looks more yellow than I had hoped but not in a warm, creamy way
I have always loved dover white. I painted my walls dover white and the window, door trim and doors in a satin finish using dover dover. I had the paint tint doubled the trim shows up just a little darker than the walls. Really do like the way the shades blend.
Help! We had our walls painted pale oak. This is a beautiful color for our home. The painters were supposed to match the white trim we had in existence, but instead used dover white. It reads very very cream. I don't totally dislike it, but I generally don't use a lot of yellow undertones. Should I have them repaint it the trim? They have offered to do so.
Good review 😊👍
I have east west living room..low lighting room. Old house with wood honey oak 6 inch wall strips every 3 feet vertically. Want to paint walls and the wood DW color drenching falt and low gloss for wood…..pure white or Sam DW for cathedral ceilings? These are really questions. I have brick fireplace that has white in it that I don’t want to paint. It has mixed colors that look great w DW. What to do?
All my interior trim, cabinets and doors have been Dover White for the last 20 years. So far so good!
How does it look in your north facing rooms.
@@miniliebenberg9644
Hi, actually it’s a bit more yellow than I care for, in north facing rooms especially, but it’s held up well. I’m hoping to start repainting soon. I want more on the white side.
Lol I have almost every white paint strip sample and still can’t decide. Good luck !
@@miniliebenberg9644did you find any good color for the north facing room.
I wanted a warmer, creamier white...I painted my west-facing bedroom with SW White Duck and it looks gray and cool 😥 Gotta start over maybe with Dover White, Creamy, or White Flour?
we painted our walls SW alabaster and are planning to pause a tall corner bookcase SW Dover White. what color would you suggest for the back ground. They are a beadboard but we want it to have some contrast & look like wood strips instead of beadboard.
I'm considering painting Dover White over cherry kitchen cabinets. Will it go with dark Giallo Ornamental granite and American Olean biscuit subway tile? Wish the subway was different, but I have to work with it. Any suggestions?
I've had Dover White on my trim with SW Napery on the walls for years and you would swear it's a true white. But now I am painting my walls agreeable gray and boy can you now see the cream in Dover White. Switching to Pure White. Much better!
@Stephanie Sullivan don't get me wrong I also Loved Dover White with Napery.....its been Beautiful and served me well for many years! But I am ready for a change. I thought I could keep the Dover White trim and just freshen it with a new coat BUT it was just too creamy for Agreeable Gray IMO. With Pure White trim Agreeable Gray is so beautiful and just what I wanted for my living room redo. Have a good day Stephanie!
@@lynnetrue4103 Hi ladies-- this is exactly what I needed to hear. Have had Dover White trim for 20 years and loved it with creamy yellow walls/burnt orange accent wall etc.. but going to repain the entire 1st floor Agreeable Gray and had hoped I could keep Dover White trim, but I've watched several videos/read articles and now both of your comments and know now I'm gong to have to change out to Pure White or even Alabaster was another recommendation. Thank you!
@@julienohrenberg9416
I think you will be very happy. Paint the walls first and you will see what I'm saying about Dover white. Then you can decide between Pure White and Alabaster. I have both south and west exposure in my living room so a lot of sun! Pure White worked for me best with Agreeable Gray IMO but I thought Alabaster was good with it too.
FYI when I painted a test area of Agreeable Gray on my fireplace it gave off a sight purple tone but I think it was just because the walls around it were still SW Napery which is yellow. Once I painted the entire room the purple undertone went away! So in your yellow room don't be scared off if the same happens to you! Good luck!
My wall is of beige color and the kitchen cabinets are espresso. Should I go with Sherwin William's agreeable gray or Alabaster or Dover white?
Love your videos. Example #2 saying they "clash" don't understand? I'm assuming clash means they do go together?
I would love to know what floor trim colour works best with my red cherry hardwood floors .. my walls are currently a subdued leafy green (beige/yellow undertone) ... is DOVER WHITE the answer? @JacobOwensDesigns video said it was a CLASH?!??
We are building a custom home. Style is modern farmhouse with some craftsman elements. The kitchen cabinets and trim will be Dover white. I would like a little darker taupe for the walls, but not much darker. I am thinking Shoji White. What do you think, or do you have some other suggestions. I was originally thinking Skyline Steel for the walls, but I want them to be whiter. We are in the north part of Houston and will have a lot of windows. Thank you for your great videos!
Thinking of doing my new kitchen cabinets in Dover white. It’s a north facing room and get some little sunlight. Are you happy with your Dover white kitchen? Thanks!
what neutral color goes with silver strand from sherwin williams?
Can Dover white be used in north facing rooms with not a lot of natural light? If not what do you recommend? Thanks.
Our builder used Dover white for everything and I hate how yellow it is. We want to repaint the walls and none of the colors went well with Dover white trims and ceilings.
Will SW white duck go well with SW1191 TIMELESS DAY a greenish blue or lighter color OCEAN BREAKER SW1192?
WHY DOES THE SECOND EXAMPLE CLASH? Can you please elaborate? I don't see undertones well!
What do you think of Dover White or have you used a white paint color in your home that didn’t turn out the way you hoped it would?
I used Dover White as an exterior color, hoping to help my Spanish tile roof pop, but it looks more tan than I was hoping. Maybe I should have gone with Alabaster, but not sure how much that would have mattered. Now I have the dilemma as to what white color to use as an interior wall color without both being too bright and/or too yellow. Might try Alabaster.
My west facing apartment (with low ceilings) was painted Dover White. It made the apartment look dingy. I repainted the ceiling, trim, and doors Pure White and the wall Alabaster. 100% improvement. I think Dover White can look nice but not in a west facing apartment.
Can I use doverwhite walls with light sofa
Great video!
Hi Maria, thank you:) I glad you found it helpful.
Where do you get those huge paint samples?
How does Dover White pair with Origami White?
I’ve used the Dover White on the walls and bed. It is the perfect cream color.
Awesome! I'm happy for you, it's a beautiful interior paint color.
What color did you use for your trim?
@@JacobOwensDesignsis it good for a north facing room
@@rubywoo8578 can look creamier, depends on other details but can work in North facing rooms when paired correctly.
@@JacobOwensDesigns thank you so much for the reply. I am having a very hard time selecting color for my north east facing townhouse. I have dark hardwood floor. Is dover white a good choice.
Love your informative videos. My painter just primed and then painted the first coat of Dover White. This color will be in my living room and adjoining dining room. Ok, my question is it looks like a light yellow. My room is west-east. Hopefully the second coat will help. I can always take it back and add a beige to it. Of course I have no idea which one. I wanted a light beige with white trim. Help please
Hi Debbie, I am very curious to know how your project turned out. I also have a east-west living room and kitchen/dining room and although I do not mind a yellow undertone, I don’t want it to be a straight yellow. Would appreciate your input as I worked with a Sherwin Williams Color consultant who suggested this color.
@@rknrlgrl6146
I just painted over white on my walls and my trim is extra White
Simply saying that the elements in example 2 “clash” isn’t helpful, please break down WHY they clash.
I agree. The example wasn’t left up long enough to get a good look at it. The pace of the video needs to be slowed.
I thought the so-called "clash" elements looked nice together! Hmmmmmm . . . .
Please slow down the videos and let us see the colors
I’m confused and super intrigued! I would expect the warmer tones in fixed elements to look good with the warmer Dover white, not clash. Do the trim and wall colors Need to be opposite undertones to keep it from clashing?
I thought the two tiles clashed with each other and it wasn't an issue with the paint. Maybe the right paint could have brought the two together though
What are your packages.?
Hello...
Need help with whites. Right now my living room, dining room and kitchen is a gold tone, I want to change to white but I have so many elements I have to work around. My house does not have bright natural light. We have big trees and the faces north & south. My floor, mantel, banisters and kitchen cabinets are oak wood. My living room walls are 22' height. The living room, kitchen, dining room is open concept so what white I choose will have to flow well into each room. Couch is dark brown but I have added white throw pillows and throws which does help brighten it up. I have several whites on my walls but still having hard time choosing the right one. I hope you can help me!!
Thanks
Susan.
Hi!
I’m considering using Dover White in my North facing hallway. We have fir wood trim which has been painted with a natural stain. The floors are also oak. There is a wood blind on the window also.
Will this color help to brighten up this dark hallway? Do you have any other suggestions of a color from either Benjamin Moore or Sherwin Williams that might work?
Nancy
Dover White would be great in a hallway. Built my house in 2007, we took paint codes from the model home because it looked so good. Dover White flat paint is ceilings and walls, Dover White satin is what’s in our bathrooms and laundry room. Our trim paint is white chip parada semi gloss. All Sherwin Williams.
@@txhorn10is your house north east facing?
Would Dover white work on the walls with light oak cabinets and trim?
Hi Dale:) It depends on a lot of factors outside of oak cabinets and trims. It could work but my concern would be lighting, interior design layout, and all the other fixed elements in your home. If anything make a sample board and test the paint color with your fixed elements.
I am having the exterior of my home painted soon and Dover White was one I was considering, along with Oyster White. I am having a hard time choosing between the two colors. Have you had any experience with either of these two colors on the exterior of homes?
Hi there, what did you end up going with? I'm in the same decision-making. Looking at either Dover White or BM White Dove for exterior wood siding home.
@@NashBashy Hi! I used SW Oyster White and it is PERFECT, Its an off white but not too WHITE and not too Creamy if that makes sense. I am very happy with it!!
Is dover white good on walls that have honey oak trim with a lot of natural lighting?
I painted my walls dover white and trim extra white. I wish I had chosen a warm trim color like greek villa or pure white instead bc my extra white has a cool undertone and there is contrast.
My floors are honey oak. It will go in my opinion bc the undertones on honey oak trim as warm like the Dover white walls.
Can we do Dover white walls with alabaster crown molding, floor trim, window treatment, and cabinets? The floor is a dark brown wooden looking tile. The island, vent hood, and beadboard above the kitchen would be a little lighter stain than the floor. Granite is giallo ornamental. We have natural light through the house.
I have Alabaster trim with Sherwin Williams Pearly on the walls and love it. IMO Dover White is more creamy aka yellow than alabaster which to me is softer and more on the griege or grey white side so Pearly goes with it really well. Just my opinion.
Hi Jacob!
I'm thinking of painting my cabinets Dover White, and my kitchen walls Acacia Haze. My countertops are a taupe white, and my backsplash is a light brown stone. What are your thoughts on this combination?
Hi Carine, nice to meet you:) SOunds like you like the color green and Acacia Haze is a beautiful blue-green paint color. I work in a visual field that requires interior pictures to access if your color combination could work. My concerns are not about pairing other paint colors to one another instead the focus should be on the undertones of your fixed and furnnished items that you have in your space. I wish you the best:)
My cabinets and trim are Dover and I need the best white wall color that goes with Dover?
Hello, I saw your comment about your kitchen cabinets and trim be in Dover white by Sherwin-Williams. I’m considering this color for my north facing kitchen as a cabinet color. I’m torn between that and alabaster white by Sherwin-Williams. Is Dover white yellow? Thanks for your input!
@@infantteacher
I chose Dover White which is less yellow then the next one which is Creamy. also the guy at Sherwin-Williams told me that Dover white was closest to Alabaster
I painted all my trim Dover white
It looks great
I really enjoy your videos
Are you filming in 4k?
Sometimes when you say things clash I can't see it. This may mean my house looks awful and I just can't tell :/
Also when you say there are reasons things don't go can you tell us why?
Hi Elisa, thank you for the kind remarks:) That's a good question. When I say things clash it's because when I compare it to other colors it's either clean or dirty, lighter or darker, cooler or warmer. Also, it could be the undertones are clashing. Undertones are complex and complicated. It takes years to develop a trained eye and to understand how to work with colors. When I say there are reasons that certain colors don't pair well it's because color is a lot more complicated than you think. It has to do with lighting, undertones of both fixed or furnished elements, outside or interior reflection of other colors, every color is unique, every color has it's own undertone unless it's a primary color or off-white for example. There is way more to add to this conversation but I think you get the point. Hope that helps:) I'm sure your trim looks beautiful with Dover White:) - thanks for sharing.
@@JacobOwensDesigns I've been watching your newer videos and I like the closeups of the colors. I can see what you're talking about. Thank you
@@jjejjohn that's awesome:) I'm happy to hear your learning from the videos. Good to hear from you again:)
My hardwoods are oak, stained in gun stock. To me they look orange, nothing I can do about that. Our cabinets are old, outdated cherry and we are going to paint them a warm white. I have only east light. We are looking at granite countertops in white and browns. Would dover white work with thos palette? So confused. Your knowledge and experience is appreciated.
What did you do for wall colors if your trim is Dover white? My trim and ceilings are DW
What is the best paint for a home that will go with everything.
What is the color for a home paint
Selecting the correct undertone, shade, hue and tint that pairs with your fixed elements and interior decor including lighting. No such thing as neutral that will pair with anything.
I have that pinkish clay tile and taupe countertop. Having a hard time finding the right white. What does go with that tile?
Hi Crystal, it's a little more complicated than comparing it to your clay tile and taupe countertop. I wouldn't be surprised if you have more than one or two undertones in either one of your fixed elements. You also need to take into consideration all the other undertones and colors that you have in your space. Feel free to check out the link below the video. Maybe, Benjamin Moore Sand Dollar.
Have you tried Sherwin Williams Alabaster or Sherwin Williams Incredible White?
Would Dover White trim work with Dorian Gray walls?
Yes. My HOA has color palettes that we must follow. So I used one approved palette--Dover White walls and Dorian Gray trim. I painted the porcch ceiling in Atmospheric, which Sherwin WIlliams recommended as a good color to go with Dover White. It looks fantastic. A neighbor down the street reversed it--Dorian Gray Walls an Dover White trim--and it looks great, too. But beware--Dover White looks white in the sun, but a bit beige-yellow in the shade.
What trim color goes with Dover white?
Wondering the same. Did you ever figure it out?
@@Sarshy We went with "Chantilley Lace" Benjamin moore
Confused.
get to the point !!
Dover white was not for me. It came off very yellow and too warm. Didn't match with my more neutral gray furniture and white cabinets. I didn't like it at all!
Same! Way too yellow!
@@SuperJakTVwhat was the room direction? North east west south?
@@rubywoo8578 it was throughout the whole house. I didn't like it anywhere.
@@SuperJakTV i just started doing it. Looks like a skin color. So far liking it.
Please remove that ugly green background in the set up. When you place the samples on the set up, what we are seeing is that green.
