That was perfect for me. I am very familiar with White Dove and am considering Pure White for my kitchen cabinets, so the side by side comparison was perfect. Thank you!
Thank you so much for reviewing these colors! It has helped clarify my color choices.
You're most welcome, thank you for the comment!
I love your channel! I like how you breakdown the aspects of each color. I refer your channel to friends and clients. Thank you!
I also love your book choices on your shelves!
Yay, thank you! I'm quite the book nerd - know any good ones I should be reading? I just finished THE MIDNIGHT LIBRARY, which isn't normally my TYPE of book, but it was so interesting!
Love all your videos so helpful thank you so much
So beautful the color nice too 😊
Thank you Kylie always a great review, I would love to see your review of BM Cotton Balls. One of my favorites. I used it on beadboard in a southwest facing sewing room, w BM Cool Breeze on the wall above. Absolutely lovely.
Thank you, Janet!
These videos are super helpful! I would love if you could review Benjamin Moore Soft Chamois.
Thank you for all of your very informative videos, Kylie! Really amazing!
We are purchasing a "new-construction" free-standing townhome that comes with "builder-selected" dark cabinetry, dark floors, and a "warm-sand" color scheme featuring Sherwin Williams's "Natural Tan" on all of the interiors throughout the home. We would like to modify the color scheme a bit and go to a "lighter, crisper" look. We prefer white kitchen cabinetry and are currently considering Benjamin Moore's "White Dove" or Sherwin Williams's "Pure White". I thought I had it figured out when someone brought to my attention that white cabinetry paint should match the trim which in our case is Sherwin Williams's "Extra White". I was really wanting to go with a slightly warmer white with a slight gray undertone. I feel the "Extra White" will be too stark and too bright for all of our cabinetry. Is it necessary to match the cabinetry white to the trim white in this case? "Thank You" for reading and for your thoughts and ideas!
Thank you!
Hi Kylie! I have finally made the big decision to do our entire house in white dove. Walls, ceiling, trim, cabinets all white dove but in different sheens. What would be a good complimentary pop of color that would go well with white dove to use for exterior doors and my island? Was contemplating the new evergreen fog from Sherwin Williams?
I'm putting in a new sunroon across from my dining room and probably gonna repaint everything including my kitchen which has some nice mosaic stone backslash. I really like dove white for the trim and baseboard. Would you pair that with pale oak, classic grey or Balboa mist for the walls? I get a little nervous about the purple and pink undertones. I do get a lot of natural light in those rooms and white walls would be too blinding imo, but I'm not trying to go too dark. Maybe a greige?
Edit* I just saw your video on Edgecomb gray and I think that may work best with the white dove trim
You’re worth your weight in gold! I adore these videos. My question is, I have a fairly new kitchen that I had done in White Dove.
Currently my walls are Stonington Gray reduced to 75% intensity with a Wrought Iron accent wall. I am not loving the cool palate with the warmer kitchen anymore... is there a “go to” wall colour you suggest to pair with White Dove cabinet and trim. Something fairly light but warmer and darker then White Dove just for some layering / depth in the space? Thanks for your insight!
Shan - YES!!!! Benjamin Moore Edgecomb Gray is a stunner with it. If you go to my blog and search...hmmm, let me find it. Here it is! www.kylieminteriors.ca/an-early-2000s-kitchen-update-with-benjamin-moore-white-dove/
Love your videos -- thank you! We're painting an east-facing bedroom with oak floors. Outside in the hallway the walls are redwood. Do you have a sense of whether White Dove or Cloud White would work better?
Firmly committed to cavern clay as an accent wall. STILL struggling with deciding on an off white for the other 3 walls in the master bedroom. The room gets plenty of sun. Pure white? White duck? Origami? Any suggestions?
we just painted our condo with White Dove and we have mad love for white dove!! Even painted the kitchen, which we were able to pull off as our current, builder grade cabinets are a similar color with brown and black granite. You are correct, the brown granite made a smooth transition with the white dove. We also added a small island with butcher block top and painted the base white dove. We just weren't ready to do a full kitchen redo as we also removed all existing carpet and tile and retiled with limestone. It's such a nice match with white dove! Would love to paint the island a different color, but not sure what color would live up to the clean crisp look of all white dove. Any suggestions?
Hi Suz, it can SO depend on the granite/backsplash, but off the top of my head, check out SW Urbane Bronze? Again, without seeing the space I can't say for sure :).
Could you do a review with some fixed elements such as farmhouse wood floors, and dark quartz counters? We are trying to go with a dark quartz counter and medium warm wood floors, and finding an off white to go with them is difficult, especially with a travertine backsplash.
Hello,
I wish to paint a small bedroom (with bulkhead) a warm white. If I do a matte finish on the walls, semi on the trim / doors would this be ideal? Recently I heard that a matte finish is 'more true to it's colour) as the Regal has higher quality ingredients (for lack of a better word). This was regarding Benj Moore Gray Cashmere which I am not as crazy about . In addition, my furniture is a mix match of browns. Not fancy here. Thank you in advance.
What color trim would it use for walls painted white dove?
Hi Kylie! Great video! Would White Dove work well with cherry wood or would Chantilly Lace be better?
Good job
Thanks for the input, duly noted!
Hi Kylie, I just had my cabinets painted swiss coffee. my walls are white chocolate. now they look too yellow. any suggestions for a wall color. My backsplash is white and my counter tops are white quartz
What color light trim would you pair with white dove walls for a livingroom, diningroom and hall?
I love your videos! Would white dove work for southwest facing room? And also rooms with not a lot of light?
I would love an answer for this as I'm in the same boat
Love your hair .. oh yea, and I'm thinking of painting my cottage White dove ... just need to know the differences in exterior paint.
Well, thank you! When we did our home, we did it in Aura. It's a darker color and 6 years later it's still looking FABULOUS. It's the one I would recommend.
@@KylieMInteriorsPaint thank you. Does Benjamin Moore ever run sales? I don't have one near me but there's an ace hardware 20 miles away. Thanks again
Hi Kylie! Would you recommend white dove in a large living room that doesn't get a ton of natural light? I cant decide between white dove or simply white. Thank you!
For a basement apartment with not much natural light would White Dove BM be good for the walls? What then to use for trim and doors? Thank you
Hi Kylie, what paint color would you choose to brighten up the interior? I want to paint the entryway, hallway & upstairs the same color. Is there a bright white or a gray like Big Chill that will do the trick?? Thank you 😊, Lesley
Hi Lesley, i love makeup too ;)! I'm learning a lot about it and am diggin' Beauty Counter these days. Anyways. It can really depend on your interior finishes and exposure. If your space is darker, white can help bounce light around, I'm a fan of SW Pure White which is a wink less warm than White Dove. As for gray, as long as you have reasonable light, I do LOVE Big Chill or even the slightly softer First Star!
Can you please review White Heron and futon from SW and are those color sitting well white dove or alabaster for a trim and cabinets?
Thanks Zena, I think I have White Heron coming up!
Kylie i dont want to freak you out but i have a crush on you. Always sound bubbly and with that voice and expressions like whooodabelieve it. Good content too. Breaks my heart seeing that wedding ring. Also, can you review platinum gray by bm. Thanks.
Seriously Sebastian, you made me smile! And I'd be happy to review Platinum Gray. I'll have to order the sample from Samplize, so it'll be a while yet - but I've got it on my list!
Looking to do this colour in our dark basement, would Simply White for the trim work or is it too close?. We have a greyish carpet with speckles of different shades of grey. And what word a nice ascent wall colour to compliment if our main walls are White Dove. For reference right now we have Stonington Gray and that seems a little too blue with the carpet it doesn't look right with the carpet and also still seems a little dark in the basement..
Hi Kylie,
I'm new to your channel. Found you while searching B.M.'s White Dove for exterior.
We are looking to paint our South facing home (stucco with multi-colored reddish brick surrounding the entry way/front door, and above the garage) in White Dove.
I want a soft white (as opposed to a stark/blinding white), and do not want any white that has pink/yellow/beige/etc. undertones when the sunlight reflects it.
I originally planned on using the same color for trim (flat for the house, and satin for the trim) BUT...the lady at B.M. recommends using Chantilly Lace for the trim (in satin) instead.
I'm not sure if the contrast will make White Dove look dingy/pink/gray/etc.
If you read this PLEASE respond right away. We are looking to finalize our colors by tomorrow afternoon.
Oh, and we are considering using either B.M.'s Heritage red for the front entry door (in satin), or Kelly Moore's 'Relief' red.
Hi Kylie. Love your videos. Very informative! I’m so confused as to what color to paint my dark cherry cabinets. We have light grey/taupe wood flooring. I have windows in the breakfast nook area but I don’t feel my kitchen is very bright. We will be putting in quartz counter tops and redoing our backsplash. I want a light and bright kitchen. The quartz we think we are going with is super white.
I was orig thinking to do Edgecomb gray for the cabinets but they look a bit green. I painted some poster boards and taped up. My walls are pale oak by BM. Do you think white dove would work for my cabinets with white quartz ? Any other suggestions? Any help would be most appreciated! Thank you !
I have watched so many of your videos on whites some more than once and read your blog.. more than once! Have watched others too. I am about to get my kitchen cabinets painted. ALL my trim is painted BOHEMIAN LACE by HGTV Home Sherwin Williams collection HGSW4052. Well its been weeks and I cannot find ANY blog on this color. I do not want to have a different white on ceiling...trim and cabinets. The color looks good on the trim but the cabinets are a much bigger project and I am scared to do it without ANY info out there. Can you give me any clue as to what this color might look like in a big space? Do you know anything about it? Thank you for ANY input
Hi Carla, I'm sorry I don't know anything about it! Sadly, they put out those HGTV colours for Lowes, but didn't provide fan decks or good reference for gals like me! And because it's not in the regular run of things, there isn't much info on it! Looking at it online, it's LRV is good (85), but it's a SOFT white, not a 'white', similar to SW Pure White, but it looks like it COULD have a subtle yellow-green undertone which makes me a bit nervous?
Hi Kylie, We've just painted our entire house with White Dove and love it. I have two questions. 1. What are your thoughts on also using White Dove for the baseboards and trim? 2. What's a good 'white' or 'off-white' for kitchen cabinets to pair with the White Dove walls? We have red oak floors and are leaning towards a Super White (which is actually grey) counter top on the perimeter. We are going to do a colored island either blue or grey with a maple butcher block top. Thanks so much!
Hi Sue! I'm a BIIIIIIIG FAN of consistency and hesitate to switch up whites as their undertones clash SO FAST and one will make another look more white/dirty/yellow/green/cold in comparison. In my own home, I have some White Dove walls with White Dove trim (just a change in sheen). If and when I paint my cabinets - they'll be White Dove too!
@@KylieMInteriorsPaint Thanks so much for the prompt response. Just to clarify, you're saying it's ok to paint the cabinets in White Dove too? You don't think that will look too bland with White Dove Walls? Are the days of having to have contrast no more?
@@KylieMInteriorsPaint boom, that’s what I want to do and u just confirmed it in my mind. Thank you! Is there a place to post pics when I’m done?
Does white dove go well with golden oak hardwood ?
I’m thinking about doing White Dove cabinets with chantilly lace baseboards. What wall color would be best? My home decor is white, blue and some silver.
Does the Benjamin Moore Advance paint yellow. I want to do White Dove, but I’ve read some comments about this problem.
I have been looking for a lighter version of Classic Gray for s long time....can you recommend one? Lightening it by 50% only changed the LRV by 2 % so barely notices. What colour around 80 lrv can I use that's similar to classic gray...I like the beige of classic gray whereas hate dove seems to look creamy in my evening light.
Which of these works best in a west facing room, with smaller windows
I have watched a ton of your videos on all of the whites and I'm still not sure what to paint my north facing living room. Your videos have so much detailed information that I can't believe I can't figure it out. I just bought the house and the living room is currently white but looks almost lavender to me (not a fan) I'm thinking maybe White Dove? ....or will the north light turn it green? Maybe I'm thinking of Simply White. I have a navy leather couch, a couple of barrel chairs in kind of pale cream. I put flooring in as luxury vinyl in kind of a med warm brown without a lot of pattern. I'm kind of over the white/grey and like a little bit warmer look but the whole house is kind of dark in general except the office in the south side.
Hi Verna, PERSONALLY, i've had a lot of luck with White Dove and have it in my own home with both north and south-facing lights. It has warmth without being overly yellow, like some of the popular whites. However, it's not flat either or too grayed out for a north-facing room.
@@KylieMInteriorsPaint Thank you!!!
The Pure White you mentioned is SW or Behr ?
I want to paint my apartment a warm white i get very little natural light! I only have two windows 🙄 i was thinking Swiss coffee ☕ however will it work with my black furniture & mid-toned woods? Please help anyone 😥
Painting walls in BM Navajo White and want a white for interior doors/trim/base molding through the house. I was thinking Chantilly Lace or True White? Any direction would be greatly appreciated.
Hi Wendy, I love Navajo White and would see it working very well with Cloud White, Simply White or maybe White Dove :)
@@KylieMInteriorsPaint We went with BM White Dove for trim/interior doors through the house. Out of 16 doors to paint, we have 5 done and I love this warm white. It's perfect! BM Navajo White will be for walls. Thank you so much for your awesome videos which are so informative and your reply back.
I'm a little late to the party and I am loving White Dove. I am looking to paint my walls White Dove and want more contrast with trim. I am afraid if I paint my cabinets white dove, it might limit my quartz choices. My Windows, blinds, and shutters are pretty white. What about White Dove walls and Pure White cabinets and trim? They looked like a pretty good match in your video. Thank you!
Hey Debra, it's NEVER to late for White Dove ;). So, I don't LOVE Pure White and White Dove together as while they're similar in depth, White Dove is warmer and Pure White could look dingy in comparison, makes me nervous. Mixing whites is HARD. So, it sounds like you want the cabinets/trim WHITER than the walls, which is a great way to do it, although it's still touchy business. Have you thought about choosing an off-white like Dove Wing and then White Dove for trim/cabinets to get layering, but get out of the white/white thing? Going the other way, I worry about things looking dingy or overly yellow as the whites bounce off each other.
@@KylieMInteriorsPaint my
Love your videos but wish you would give photo examples of how they work with colors.
Great suggestion! When it comes to these reviews, it's just the basic info on the colour itself. I'm slowly working on doing a video for each colour, covering this exact topic! I have several in editing, but will add White Dove to my list - thank you!
I’m thinking about doing white dove cabinets with chantilly lace baseboards. I want to go with a white countertop with a little gray. Will the countertops look off if I use white dove on the cabinets? I haven’t picked a wall color yet.
Oooo, I'd be careful as White Dove can look dingy/creamy compared to the brighter look of Chantilly Lace, for sure. I'll also add that the 'average' white quartz countertops looks good with either SW PUre White or BM White Dove, depending on the actual warmth of the quartz color (as few are actually 'really white'. If it were me, I'd stick with ONE white on all painted surfaces and wouldn't mix and match :).
Kylie, I must have read your posts on white dove over a 100 times before choosing it. I was looking for that soft white look to retain the warmth in my living room. I now have WD on my walls, and ... they... look .... gray!! Help!! Is it the lights? I have daylight ceiling fan lights and they show nothing but gray. I am literally crying.
Oh that’s sad! Do you have a north facing area? Or maybe something reflecting the color outside like a building or a house?
What is your floor color??
Hi Kylie, I used BM Swiss Coffee for my trim; would White Dove go well on the walls?
Oooo, I wouldn't put them together as they could slightly compete with each other. I'd stick with Swiss Coffee on the walls if that's the approach you're going for :).
I need a wall color to match swiss coffee ceiling and trim...Please help!!!
Need help!! Cant decide between Simply White and White dove for a smaller bathroom, no window, good lighting that seems to wash out light colors. Gray tile floor, dark grey countertop..HELP!!!
Help , I’m painting livingroom that has cherry hardwood . What white complements cherry floor?
Kylie, just discovered your videos and they are so helpful. I definitely want a creamier look than pure white, but feel like creamy from sherwin Williams pulls in a little too much yellow for me. If I use dove white, is there a trim color you recommend? I was going to use pure white or extra white, but is that not enough contrast? Thanks!
Hi Laura, i HIGHLY recommend using White Dove for the trim as well as the walls, just letting the shift in sheen from wall to trim do the work for you (I usually do matte or eggshell walls and satin trim :))
@@KylieMInteriorsPaint Hi Kylie! We are painting our exterior White Dove. Would you just change the sheen for the trim on the exterior as well? If not, can you please recommend another white color for the trim? Thank you!
@@bethcarroll7436
We are painting our exterior White Dove as well, and I have the same question.
The lady at B.M. recommended Chantilly Lace, but since CL is on the whiter side, I'm worried about W.D. looking dingy.
What did you decide on for the trim, and do you love it?
@@memememe3814 We painted the trim and all, White Dove, different sheens, and I love it. I couldn't decide on a trim color so we just tried it all over first.
@@bethcarroll7436
Thank you SO much for getting back to me. We have to finalize with our contractor today.
I had originally decided on W.D. for everything as well, different sheens, but the lady at BM suggested Chantilly Lace (which to me seemed like too much of a white contrast), but she said she highly recommended it.
Watching this informative video last night, made me realize I don't want to do Chantilly Lace.
May I ask you what sheens you used for everything? Thank you again!
Which would go better with a house with neutral colored decor cream white, gray ,black ....pure white, white dove, or Chantilly lace ?
Hi Courtney! Considering the CREAM of the decor, I lean towards White Dove, although Pure White can be pretty if you have some good southern sun to add a bit more warmth to the walls!
@@KylieMInteriorsPaint thank you so much
@@KylieMInteriorsPaint would white dove be better for cleaning and maintaining then pure white
Hi Kylie, I am pretty committed to this White Dove on my walls and trim-is it best to also use it on ceiling OR go whiter on ceiling? What do you suggest for ceiling? I am trying to stick with same color all over the whole house to keep it easy, I am hoping it will work all over....
Hi Liza, if it were ME, I woudl stick with White Dove on all (that's what I've done in our homes :)
@@KylieMInteriorsPaint Thank You for the quick reply! I am thinking the same! I was afraid it wasn't light enough to bring up onto the ceilings! =)
@@KylieMInteriorsPaint Ok so I am SOLD on white dove for walls, trim & ceilings after attending the walk thru for our new home today, however we are painting kitchen cabinets to update old oak kitchen and need to keep the 90s warm granite....white dove pulls in real nice with the granite to be honest....is it just TOO much overkill to also do white dove on the cabinets too? I would like contrast but nothing seems to look right....any suggestions would be SO appreciated =)
@@lizamackey7661 did you do white dove on ceiling, walls and trim after all ? .. I'm contemplating of going the same route.
Which neutral colors pair with white dove?
Also just out of curiosity what white are your cabinets behind you? I cant tell if they are warm or cool..Thank you!
Actually, those are Ikea cabinets, so they're a slightly warm white, I bet something like SW Pure White :).
Will white dove look on kitchen cabinets with white quartz?
Hi Prajakta, it TOTALLY depends on the quartz as some are warmer than others. I find that it's MORE often a touch too warm for many quartz countertops.
What is the equivalent to White Dove in a Sherwin Williams color?
I went with dove wing and I was so sad at first it looked like primer as my whole house color (except bed rooms)
What color is the book case behind you?
Ahhh, that's the Ikea Hemnes bookcase in their manufacturer's white!
is this similar to sw7008？
Kylie, my neighbour and I are big fans. I think I can read on your "Pure White" card here that it's Sherwin-Williams Pure White...not Benjamin Moore Pure White. Is that correct?
Yes it is SW
What do you think about White Dove as a painted Brick color?
The lrv is 85 (not 83) for white dove just FYI :)
It’s 83
She's cute
My husband says how beautiful your eyes are! Love those blue eyes!
Wow, that is such a great compliment, thank you!
@@KylieMInteriorsPaint Hi Kylie, I love reading your blogs and I am also a subscriber for your UA-cam channel. I love how you speak and even my husband is a fan of yours. I really appreciate how you take time to write these blogs and post videos, you don’t know how much you are helpful to people like us who cannot afford very expensive interior designers🙏 you are my most favorite paint advise persons on YT. I have been watching all your videos to help me decide paint for my house for past several weeks.
I tried to short list my paint colors to Dove white, Swiss coffee and Pale Oak. The way my layout is, I have to go with the same color for my entry way, living room (facing north west) and kitchen ( very dark since only one window facing south) since there is no division in between (80’s typical colonial house with stairs in the middle with no big foyer so dark hallway)I like how Pale oak goes with my warm fixed elements such as glazed maple cabinets and my dark brown couch, cream/beige coffee table and beige carpet/tiles, but what I don’t like is how it looks especially on stairways showing blue/ green undertones and also in my family room especially in evening hours when the warm light is turned on. I don’t like it in my family room so I started looking for off whites since I’ve 2 sky lights and one patio door in family room so I get plenty of lights there from south east direction. I tried so many color sample from samplize( thanks to your advise 😊) such as Chantilly lace, pale oak, Swiss coffee, super white, revere pewter, Collingwood, etc
1st question I’ve is 1. Should I go with dove white in family room and pale oak in living room or should I keep white dove through out my first floor. 2. If I go with dove white everywhere then do I keep the same trim and doors ( laundry room/ mud room/powder room etc) or should I change it up? 3. I’m doing an accent wall in family room with board and batten which is facing the main wall that can be seen as soon as you enter the room as well as from kitchen and living room. I was thinking of choosing Dove white with Pale oak/ agreeable gray as an accent wall ( I tried revere pewter but found too dark) which one do you think would go more? 4. If it was your place with lots of warm elements would you go with off white such as dove white or neutral white would you go with greige color or any other color? If so which one? What color would you choose for accent wall?
Sorry for the long question but I wanted to provide as much info as possible. Appreciate it! 😊
