After arriving at the paint store, you begin to look through the paint chips and samples. You need to pick a white paint color for your walls. Suddenly, you realize this is going to take longer than you thought and you have a million errands on your list.
Starting to get overwhelmed - you think, “How can there be so many whites and where do I even start?”
Well, I have been there. White paint is HARD!
But, why are we stressing out? We just need some professional advice. So I asked 4 top designers and 1 fabulous artist to share with us their “Go To” white paint colors. Let’s see what they had to say.
Julie Couch of Julie Couch Interiors & G. Grace Gallery, Nashville, TN
Julie says “I really like Sherwin Williams Snowbound for a softer white and for a modern home I like Sherwin Williams Pure White.”
Julie’s design work has been featured on HGTV and she is the founder of the most amazing art gallery, G.Grace Gallery. Follow Julie on Instagram – her stories are adorable and amazing!
Mindy Bernard of Entre Nous, Lafayette, LA
Mindy says her go-to white is Sherwin Williams Creamy 7012.
Follow Mindy, her timeless design style and her gorgeous shop featuring antiques, original art, fabrics, pillows, furniture and more. I get to visit this shop frequently and it never disappoints.
Katie Galliano of Katie Galliano Interiors, Houston, TX
My long time friend and Interior Designer, Katie, has three favorite white paints that she so generously shared with me. So excited to add these to our list.
Benjamin Moore White Dove, Benjamin Moore Decorator White, & Farrow and Ball All White.

Lacey Stalter of Oak+Arrow Interiors, New Orleans, LA
When I asked Lacey this question, without hesitation she responded with Benjamin Moore’s Chantilly Lace OC-65. “Chantilly Lace is always one of my go-to whites. It is a nice cool and crisp white and works well in any space!”

Katherine Freeman of KF Original Art, Lafayette, LA
Katherine is an amazing abstract artist, and she shared with me one of her favorite whites. Katherine used Benjamin Moore Cotton Balls in her baby’s nursery and she said she absolutely loves it with the wallpaper accent wall. (Side note: I also have this color on my studio wall where I photograph most of my art and it always looks great!)
Follow Katherine’s creative journey on Instagram. Watch for Romeo (her ginormous golden doodle) and Palmer (her sweet baby girl.)
Okay, now we are armed with information from some of my favorite creatives. Check out these colors and see which one calls your name.
