This is my go to personal preference for white trim paint. I love using Benjamin Moore’s White Dove in the satin impergo finish. – This finish adds just a hint of sheen. I love how it looks every time we use it, and we’ve used it a lot!
This shade of white has some warmth to it, I think it’s one of the reasons why I love it so much.
You can see how this looks above in our foyer and again here in our living room. It works great with both all white walls and with colors too. For more info on our living room wall color, see this post on gray paint colors.

Here we used Benjamin Moore’s Decorator’s White on both the walls (in an eggshell finish) and on the trim. in the satin impergo finish. Considered a cooler white, this color has a bluish undertone, and creates a very bright, white modern look.

When we first moved to our house here in Connecticut, I was pretty sure I was going to use Benjamin Moore White Dove on our kitchen cabinets and also on all the trim work in our kitchen. However, once I saw it up on the cabinets (as seen above) it didn’t look white enough for the space. That’s when I learned about Benjamin Moore White OC 151.

We chose this vibrant white, also simply known as Benjamin Moore OC-151. I love how it looks in our kitchen. In fact, we love it so much we just used it on almost every wall in our beach house renovation, including the trim!
