Frequently Asked Questions:

White Dove and Alabaster are both excellent options. White Dove has subtle gray undertones that complement a variety of architectural styles, while Alabaster provides slightly beige warmth that looks beautiful in both sunlight and shade. Both are versatile, pairing well with darker trims or natural materials.

This depends on your home’s style and surroundings, and on the effect you want to achieve. 

Warm whites create a soft and welcoming look that work well on traditional, craftsman, and cottage-style homes. They pair nicely with natural materials, and perform well in direct sunlight without looking too harsh.

Cool whites, on the other hand, create a clean look that’s ideal for contemporary or minimalist homes. They can make architectural details stand out, and do well in the shade, not looking too yellow.

It’s best to sample a few different options, observing each at various times of day.

If your goal is to appeal to a wide range of buyers and sell the home quickly, it’s best to go with a neutral , timeless shade. Consider a soft white, light gray , or warm beige to create a clean, inviting, and well-maintained look. To add a little visual interest, you can pair any of those colors with slightly darker trim or door accents.
