Simply Whites

It seems that white would be one of the easiest colors to choose for your home......not the case. With colors like white and beige small differences can make all the difference in your home. I am often asked the question "what are the most popular trim colors". This can vary depending on what type of contrast you want between the walls and trim. If you are looking for a cream Navajo White, Linen White, or Timid White OC-39 are good choices. Navajo is the darkest of the three and has the most brown. Linen White is creamy with an orange undertone. Timid White is a newer trend because it does not have the warm orange undertone of the other two, but a cleaner creamy feel, almost heading down a green path. If you want a color that is white, but not glaring try White Dove, Acadia White OC-38, Simply White oc-117, or Mascarpone AF-20. White Dove has more of a gray undertone, Acadia has more yellow, Simply White is clean and creamy, and Mascarpone is in between Simply and Acadia. The trends change so often, however, the trend I see on a day to day basis is for the cleaner whites that I just mentioned! (The cabinets above are painted in Simply White).
