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.
Color Number 3. Benjamin Moore’s White OC-151
Benjamin Moore White Dove compared with Benjamin Moore White OC – 151
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!

I’m so happy to hear that someone other than me used OC-151! I have it on my kitchen cabinets and trim throughout my condo and I love it!! Seems all I ever hear about is white dove and simply white. OC-151 is so clean and doesn’t have yellow undertones.
YES! 🙂
Hi there! Wondering if you could give advice on which white to choose for trim in a bedroom with a van deusen blue ceiling and classic gray walls. Picking a white is much harder than I thought it would be!
Hmmm, maybe try mixing a little of the same gray wall color into dove white by Benjamin Moore!
I loved BM White OC-151 and then read where it’s not white but gray white. Do you agree? It looks much whiter to me than White Dover or some of the other white that have a yellow undertone. Your thoughts?
We used it in our beach house, I think it’s white white. Doesn’t read gray to me at all!
So glad to read your comments, Sue! I agree, but was starting to doubt my own eyes (like the “Emperor Wearing No Clothes”)! I just today read that one of the most popular Benjamin Moore whites doesn’t cover as well as OC-151 because that “popular” white lacks any color in it and it won’t cover as well as OC-151 which has the added color of black. (It might have been Super White, but not sure.) Frankly, I think one of the reasons why Decorator’s White and Super White became popular was because of their names! So interesting (and frustrating) to read about white paint colors as you’re trying to make a decision. What I loved about OC-151 when I first compared it to White Dove, Decorator’s White and some of the others is the lack of cream or yellow in it. Thank you for your reply. I must learn to trust my own eyes!
