“I think what I love about this color is how perfectly white it reads anytime of the day and also when lit artificially at night. Sometimes I like a white that has a hint of another color in it so it will take on different personality, but here in the guest suite of my Atlanta house, I love how pure the white is, especially on the brick wall. Whenever I’m using white paint to update not-so-nice brick, I want it to be totally pure, and Delicate White truly is.” –Brian Patrick Flynn

“I love working with these two shades- Precious Pearls and Decorator’s White. They work so well as a back drop in almost any room. They allow the eye to go to the objects and furniture assembled in the room because they are not distracting. In fact they are really calming. I love pairing them with lots of vintage, to create a space that feels very luxe.” –Nate Berkus

“Chantilly Lace from Benjamin Moore is always my go-to paint color whenever white is called for! It is the perfect white for stairways, trims, and ceilings. It evokes a feeling that is classic, crisp, and clean and is the perfect middle ground between a true white and an off-white. While feeling extremely white, it isn’t cold or bland. I have paired it with gobs of color partners and it complements them all!” –Julia Buckingham

“This crisp, clean white is not only a favorite of mine for trim and doors, but also looks great on walls in a more contemporary space or beach house.  This old cottage in East Hampton got a facelift with some planked walls that were painted in Decorator’s White.  The overall feel is fresh and airy!” –Jenny Wolf

“The Right White is the perfect balance of being crisp, light and bright. It allows the room to have a warm feeling in all lights without getting dull.” –Ryan White

“It is very hard to find a white that doesn’t have different undertones. What I love about this white is its purity and how it can go with any other color in a complimentary way. I chose to have the cabinetry in this kitchen I designed painted this white.” –Ryan Saghian

[Editor’s Note: this one is so good it was recommended three times!]

“Benjamin Moore’s Super White is my go-to for a crisp, clean, look that’s perfect the beach.” –Nathan Turner

“When creating the perfect white for my Voice of Color Collection by PPG Pittsburgh Paints, I wanted something crisp and pure. Vicente Wolf White (PPG 100-1) is the perfect white because it foils for whatever is happening in a space. No color pigment was added to it so, it’s white in its purest form.” –Vicente Wolf

“Wevet is crisp, yet soft and velvety. It’s a warmish gray and cool undertone. It’s chic, classic and perfect for any interior.” –Nicole Fuller

“My go to white paint color is hands down Cornforth White by Farrow & Ball. It is still in the white family but has tiny emulsions of pale grey which adds interest and depth to a room without being stale.” –Sam Allen

“My favorite white is Benjamin Moore White Dove. I love White Dove because it’s not too bright where it’s overpowering but not so creamy that it’s not sharp or distinctly white. It’s a very clean soothing white.” –Will Wick

“This color perfectly matches the background of many of my fabrics. Its a warm off-white that works constantly with whatever direction the room faces.” –Kathryn Ireland

“Super White is a knock-out bright white that we use to add contemporary emphasis to our projects with traditional architecture. I love the neutral grey undertones that make the colors and textures in any space synthesize.” –Lauren Geremia

“I love Egret White because it never goes warm or cold. It always complements colors it comes into contact with. It’s the perfect foil for clients who have rotating art collections!” –Vance Burke

“I love using the color Great White by Farrow & Ball. It is a warm white but has a subtle undertone of grey that creates a complex color with real depth. Great White makes for a very clean, soft, neutral base to design any color scheme around and looks great in all types of light, from the West Coast to the East. This is a great go-to white that really grounds a space and never reads too muddy or too stark.” –Birgit Klein

“I used Pratt & Lambert’s Designer White/33-1 to paint almost the entire interior of the Coastal Living show house last summer (on both woodwork and walls/ceilings), and it’s become a favorite in our office.  It’s a clean, crisp white.  Bright without being too harsh or blue, with a softness that makes it wonderfully livable.” –Betsy Burnham
