    Based on your color analysis of White Dove, I believe it may be the perfect color for our new home. I really want a soft white that’s not too warm. I’ll go test it! Thank you!

    I have White Dove throughout my home, living/dining room, entrance and upstairs hall using color drenching walls in eggshell sheen and trim in Satin. My floors are warm bamboo flooring and needed a true neutral. The inside of my front door and door casing is Hale Navy and love the contrast.

    Very thoughtful analysis. Great job! 👏 In the bathroom, would one try to match the tub and toilet to the trim/wainscoting….as opposed to following any white/cream in a wallpaper for the trim/wainscoting.😮😊

      @homelikeyoumeanit  9 месяцев назад +2

      I mean some colorists would say yes you should, but I don’t subscribe to that. Your toilet and tub will always be stark white for the most part, and I’m not advocating for doing stark white walls because of your tub and toilet. I’m more concerned with matching your countertops, flooring and tile in the bathroom to the correct neutral color and undertone.

      It won't make white dove look overwhelmingly yellow, but you will notice the creaminess in white dove really come out when it's next to a true white. BM Simply White is brighter, but still an off-white. That might work better for you.

    Great video! I'm painting the exterior siding and trim of my home BM Simply White. What color would work for the front porch ceiling? Should I do the siding, trim and ceiling all Simply White? What sheen do you recommend?

    • @homelikeyoumeanit
      @homelikeyoumeanit  Месяц назад +1

      Unless you want to stain the ceiling or do a haint blue, then do trim color. Sheen depends on what you do for siding. I typically recommend a higher sheen than what was used for exterior. So if you did satin for body color, I like semi gloss for trim.

      So hard to know without seeing it, but I can tell you that if your floors are like that you definitely want a warmer white like white dove. When you test, if you think white dove is too creamy for the floors, try Ben Moore Simply White and see what that does.

      Hi! The blue is Benjamin Moore Britannia Blue--love it! White Dove works well with Agreeable Gray. Simply White is a bit brighter and will give you more of a pop, but if you really want a softer white, you might find that it's too stark for an off-white.

    I want to color drench most all the rooms in a soft white on our home build rt now .
    So far white dove I’m
    Leaning towards BUT it gives off a slight pink undertone when I have it lined up with the other off whites on the wall .
    Is this normal and it goes away once whole wall ceiling baseboards doors are painted in it?
    Im also sampling Alabaster & simply white which is beautiful but it maybe too bright for color drenching 🤷🏻‍♀️

      A video suggestion bc I can’t find anybody doing - best creams/off-whites/nutrals to color dench interior of homes in .
      I was really afraid to go with LRV’s above 80 because I just didn’t want it “too bright” but white dove seems to be soft enough to use it that way .

      If you want the fireplace white too, go with White Dove. If you want a pretty neutral look, try Edgecomb Gray or Revere Pewter. Of course, you need to think about the other undertones in your space, too, as you consider these and other neutrals for your fireplace.

    • @homelikeyoumeanit
      @homelikeyoumeanit  6 месяцев назад

      If your cabinets come in standard white shaker cabinets and this isnt as creamy as white dove, no it won’t work. Your best bet if you want to do white on your walls is to go have your cabinet door color matched. You don’t want stark white cabinets next to off white walls, something will look off!

There are 3,500 colors to choose from and SO MANY play it safe with these two. Yawn.
