White Dove is a warm white paint color with greige undertones and a hint of gray pigment that helps ground the color and prevent it from looking yellow. It is one of Benjamin Moore’s top-selling paint colors and is fittingly named after a dove, as this bird is a symbol of peace. White Dove is an excellent choice for exteriors, as it is often not the best choice for exteriors due to the full natural light exposure.
White Dove is not a true white, but its creamy undertone makes it a soft, rich white paint color to work with for interiors. It can complement any type of architecture, from coastal farmhouses to modern homes. White Dove is a neutral, peaceful white, which means not leaning too warm or too cold. It is fabulous if there is abundant natural light, but in places that don’t see as much natural light, Simply White is brighter.
In this post, we will take a look at the ten most popular white exterior paint colors, including Pure White, White Dove, Chantilly Lace, Swiss Coffee, Alabaster, and more. These paint colors offer versatility and can be used on walls, trims, cabinets, ceilings, doors, and exteriors. The color is also suitable for use in a remodel project, as it looks amazing when painted on brick, fiber cement siding, and all of the surfaces.
In conclusion, White Dove is a popular and versatile white paint color that can complement any type of architecture and is a great choice for exteriors.
📹 Why Benjamin Moore “White Dove” is the Perfect Choice!
Watching you – I know you are over Chantilly Lace. However, as a white with no undertones, I love it for the Ceiling and trim. I did one room with it and have the doors to do still and you can really see the difference. I put color on the walls and it works. It takes on some of the color and I love it. I am going to do the rest of my home, I have 20′ vaulted ceilings, will go with Chantilly Lace Ceiling & Trim and settled in with White Dove on the walls to break up the stark white. Hearing your side whisper, Chantilly Lace, I knew you were speaking to me.
I have a fixture upper. Did White Dove in two bedrooms with Chantilly Lace for trim and ceiling, hickory floors. I love the look! White Dove almost looks like a pale cream but without the yellow, next to Chantilly Lace. Isn’t Baby Fawn the same as Edgecomb Gray? I like that one too. I was looking at Mt .St. Anne. Almost did it in a bathroom but went with Healing Aloe instead. Looking at Beach Glass for the dining room. I’m afraid Mt. St. Anne might be too dark. I’ll have to pull out my sample again. The current color in the dining room is 2 shades of brown painted over wallpaper! Can’t wait to get rid of it!
I’m wondering if you could address a few things for other articles. Like furniture painting, lime wash, milk paint, chalk paint. Particularly I’m wondering about a exterior White House paint that absorbs sunlight so that it is not so bright in its reflection to blend with my existing paint. Also wondering if you would ever talk about Ralph Lauren, textured pants? And classic colors of France, England and perhaps early America. Because I’m fascinated by French off white, almost pink?, grey & blues. Then England always has these standard colors and ways in which they paint the wainscoting and trim. I think it would be interesting to speak of these. And comparable US options because I can’t find them in the US.
It’s a beautiful color. I’m still currently repainting the entire inside of my home. When I was deciding what color to choose I ordered a plethora of white peel and stick paint samples. I moved them around different times of the day. In my home White Dove went a little too yellow for my liking. I ended up choosing Simply White. The ceiling is ultra flat, walls are matte and all the trim including doors is satin.
Hi. From Norway. We dont have Benjamin Moore, but i would really like to try out BM White Dove and SW Iron Ore. Is it posible to have them made here? Or could you tell me which colour from Jotun Lady i could use, to match as closely as posible? Btw- is BM white Dove and SW Iron Ore a good match together? Thanks for really good explanations in your articlees☺️ Marit🪴🖌️
I’m down to white dove or creamy SW for my whole interior . Would these being creamy whites look good in bathrooms that have light gray and or white marbled tiles? I need to decide soon if I pick cooler white for all our bathrooms or stick with the creamy white that I’m doing through the whole house Help 🙏🏻
I did most of my condo walls in BM White Dove with Behr Ultra Pure White on the trim. It shouldn’t work but it does. I get north light and this color combo works perfectly with my natural red oak floors. My open kitchen is light wood lower cabinets with white uppers and all it works together. It’s a very calm comfortable pallet.
I like your articles and appreciate your advices. It helped me a lot. I painted master bedroom and attached bathroom in White Dove and I don’t like it at all! I find this colour as unpleasant nasty yellow, not creamy at all but almost glowing bright yellow undertone. It looks so cheap and more over it hard to work with (needed at least 3 layers to cover 5 years old white paint)😢
