When I totally repainted by beach house this summer I used semi gloss trim and eggshell walls (I think flat walls are having a moment, but it’s not for me) and then just generic ceiling paint.

Agreed.

I used SW Pure White on trim and kitchen cabinets. Nice clean, not cold or warm white. Looks good in north, west, and south exposures.

From what I’ve read, this is the SW White most similar to the most popular BM white.

I’m all in for SW Pure White for trim. Can’t decide Pure White or Alabaster for walls. (Sherwin Williams)

Think about the undertones that you want have. We've used SW Shell White and SW Dover. One has pink undertones; the other yellow. A friend swears by SW Panda

I have shell white and it’s lovely, definitely yellow undertones. I love it. I would say it’s significantly more “off” white than BM simply white.

Benjamin Moore White Dove and Cloud White are my two favorite white paints.

BM chantilly lace for trim, doors and baseboards in semigloss. I like scuffX semigloss because the finish feels better but most people hate it because it takes like three coats.

For white as a whole paint color- I have never done this. But I do love seeing SW alabaster in Pinterest.

No, I just follow him on Instagram and thought I’d share. He seems to really know his stuff. Anyway I plan to try it soon!

Alabaster is warmer than pure white. I have it on my ceiling with pure white trim. They look good together.

BM Cream Froth (or Creme Froth). OMG. So beautiful. I put whites all over my wall and this one popped. It's been 15 years, I think, and I still love it. I did the ceiling and the (forget the names but the trim near the bottom and the crown molding) in BM Superwhite.
