+1 I obsessively researched whites and chose this. It’s perfect.


+2 This is the color of all my trim and is also the color of my east facing bedroom.


Love this and have used it repeatedly but only for trim.


Simply white is perfecto.

If going with BM, go with Scuff-X

If going with SW, go with Pro Classic

Those were my designer's go-tos. We used Cloud White; White Dove is more yellow/cream than we wanted.

BM Super White.

Super white is good for north facing rooms without a lot of direct light. I think in bright south facing rooms it would be too much.

I use Benjamin Moore color matching Farrow & Ball All White. It is a bright, neutral to warm white.

I tried Decorators White and there was too much of a gray undertone. It looked sterile and cold.

Really no substitute for testing a bunch of swatches on your actual wall

Has anyone had issues with Simply White yellowing over time?

No. It starts out yellow, but it doesn’t change. If you feel that it has changed, it’s likely you changed some other colors in your space. New sofa, new curtains, etc.

BM Ballet White on walls.

BM Simply White for trim.

I've been happy with SW Creamy. We've put it on much of our main level and it's a nice, warm white. It's also quite similar to SW Shell White - which is what we have on our trim. They look fine together, but when I can motivate myself, I'm repainting the trim SW Pure White for a little contrast.

We used BM White Dice for the walls, and Chantilly Lace for the trim.

Architectural digest just release some color suggestions.

I just painted some wainscoting with BM chantilly lace- and it looks amazing. It is a crisper white- a little more cool than BM Simply White without the gray/blue undertones of Super White.

I find that Simply White works well with warm lighting and warm colors. But if you are going gray, blue, or even green, I prefer Chantilly Lace.

Doesn’t Chantilly Lace have a vague yellow undertone?

We also have Chantilly Lace for trim and love it.
