Mastering the White Paint Trend with Benjamin Moore's Iconic Shades

White – it's timeless, versatile, and effortlessly chic. While it might seem simple, choosing the perfect white shade can be a journey in nuances and undertones. As white paint continues to reign supreme in interior design trends, Ricciardi Brothers, your trusted Benjamin Moore retailer across New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware, is here to shed light on some of the brand's most beloved and essential white hues.

  1. "Simply White" (OC-117)

Awarded Benjamin Moore's Color of the Year in 2016, "Simply White" lives up to its name. With a slight warmth, it creates a radiant and pure backdrop, perfect for contemporary and classic spaces alike.

  1. "White Dove" (OC-17)

An all-time favorite, "White Dove" offers a touch of gray, ensuring it's never too stark. Its versatility makes it a top choice for trim, walls, and ceilings, delivering a soft, welcoming ambiance.

  1. "Chantilly Lace" (OC-65)

For those seeking a crisp, clean white with no dominant undertones, "Chantilly Lace" is the answer. Its brightness lends itself beautifully to modern, minimalist designs and pairs wonderfully with both muted and vibrant hues.

  1. "Decorator’s White" (OC-149)

This shade boasts subtle blue undertones, providing a cool, serene feel. "Decorator's White" is a favorite among professionals for its ability to complement a vast range of interior styles and palettes.

  1. "Cloud White" (OC-130)

"Cloud White" drifts into rooms with a gentle touch of warmth, reminiscent of a soft cloud cover. Its timeless appeal works harmoniously in both traditional and contemporary settings.

  1. "Swiss Coffee" (OC-45)

For those hesitant about embracing a stark white, "Swiss Coffee" offers a creamy, off-white alternative. Its rich depth makes spaces feel cozy while retaining a touch of sophistication.

  1. "Super White" (OC-152)

As one of the purest whites in Benjamin Moore's collection, "Super White" is vibrant and sharp. It's ideal for creating stark contrasts, especially when paired with dark hues or when highlighting architectural features.


Navigating the Undertones:

White paint often carries undertones of blue, pink, yellow, or even green. These nuances can shift based on lighting and the colors around them. When considering a white shade, it's crucial to sample it in the room it will be used, observing it at different times of the day to understand its true character.

Pairing with Other Shades:

The beauty of white lies in its adaptability. From bold, dark colors to soft pastels, white paint complements almost every shade, allowing for endless design possibilities.

The Allure of White:

White spaces feel bigger, brighter, and more open. Whether you're aiming for a sleek modern look or a rustic farmhouse charm, there's a Benjamin Moore white to bring your vision to life.


The white paint trend is more than just a fleeting fashion; it's a design staple. Let Ricciardi Brothers guide you through Benjamin Moore's palette, ensuring your space radiates style, comfort, and elegance.
