Benjamin Moore Linen White: Have you used it?

[Anonymous]

I think we have finally settled on a color for our small, dark basement. I think this color will greatly brighten up the space while still adding warmth.

If you used this color, were you happy with it?

We have a similar off white in our basement, and it looks terrible. Makes it feel darker actually.

I'd go with a creamy pale yellow. I think somehow it makes the dark spaces look better than white does.

Damn. Say it ain't so. This search for a color has been exhaustive -- we've already sampled so many.

What would you have gone with instead?

We have it. It is the most boring color possible. I guess its bright, but I wouldn't call it warm. It's rental apartment white.

We don't have it but upon googling it, it looks really basic and boring. Go with a greige color

Try BM gray mist. Or acadia white.

We used it on the trim in one of our rooms where I wanted something creamier than bright white. I think it will make a small, dark basement look cold, not much different that white would.

I would stick with a butter yellow or something slightly cooler like a moss.

Try OC-1 Natural Wicker.. Love this color

I had it though out my house on move in and couldn't stand it. It looked too yellow and had no personality; washed out. I have no idea why it's so popular. Doesn't go nicely with a lot of the trim colors either (makes them look gray).

I replaced it with colors.

We've used Linen White in our house on the walls. It's currently our trim color. Linen white is a little grey/dirty to brighten a basement in my opinion. I agree with the PP who suggested a creamy yellow. For that, consider BM Milky Way.

BM Lemon Ice: have it in a darker bedroom, pale warm lemon yellow. Brightens nicely with lights.
