Choose the right white Pro’s choices make it easy for you SAMANTHA PYNN POSTMEDIA NEWS Q: I’m painting our condo white again. I made a horrible choice three years ago. I painted test patches and thought I’d chosen well, but after I’d paid the painters the walls looked peach. I cried like a baby! I want the right white this time. Please suggest the perfect white. A: I find white can go two ways: flesh-toned or science lab. Neither shade’s a winner. I asked a few design friends to tell me their favourite whites. Here’s what they said. Anne Hepfer of Anne Hepfer Designs: “Pointing No. 2003 by Farrow & Ball is a warm clean white that beautifully complements white linen, and doesn’t yellow over time. I painted my living room walls this colour
10 years ago and it still looks fresh and inviting.” Brian Gluckstein, Brian Gluckstein Design: “I use Benjamin Moore Cloud White (CC-40) with neutral colours and Benjamin Moore Distant Gray (OC68) with cool colours. They work with anything.” Cobi Ladner, Cobistyle: “I still love Cloud White for walls. I’ve never found anything better. It’s warm but still fresh.” E m m a Re d d i n g t o n , Chatelaine: “Cloud White is almost a fail-safe choice. It looks good in almost any home, no matter the quality of light. It falls into the war mer white cate gory and has a nice richness and depth to it.” Brett Walther, Canadian Living: “I’ve found it’s the perfect match for most of Ikea’s white finishes, so whenever I’m engaging in an Ikea hack (adding on bits of trim or moulding), I reach for Cloud White.” Sasha Josipovicz, Studio Pyramid: “My whites are always in balance with other finishes in a home. I use
Cloud White for warm transitional spaces or Benjamin Moore’s Oxford White (CC30) for cool modern ones.” Kimberly Seldon, Kimberley Seldon Design Group: “Benjamin Moore’s Ballet White OC-9 is chalky, slightly grey white. Never harsh but fresh and clean.” Lindsay Agnew, Lindsay Agnew Style: “Cotton Balls OC-122 from Benjamin Moore is a very clean and crisp white and is slightly brighter than other, more common, white paints. It is perfect for ceilings, doors and trim and lends itself to contemporary spaces.” Julia Black, Chatelaine: “I love Farrow & Ball’s All White 2005 for its pure, chalky finish. It’s a clean, simple, reliable white.” Erin Feasby and Cindy Bleeks, Feasby & Bleeks Design: “Benjamin Moore’s Simply White OC-117. It’s clean, fresh and yet it’s warm. There are no yellow or peach undertones, and it’s not chalky. We’ve used it in modern and traditional interiors and it’s a perfect backdrop for any accent palette.”
Tim Lam, Design Maze: “Wedding White 70YY/037 by Glidden/ICI. This warm white with a slightly yellow undertone looks crisp, inviting, and it creates a perfect backdrop to display art work.” Sarah Richardson, Sarah Richardson Design: “I’ve always been a fan of Natural White by Glidden/ ICI. Not too stark, not too yellow, just the right tone to complement all the fabulous colours you’ll dress your walls in!” As for me, for traditional spaces, I like Farrow & Ball’s off-white Slipper Satin No. 2004 (walls and trim) and Pointing (ceilings). For modern spaces, I’ve been using Oxford White because House and Home designer Joel Bray used it in his New York-style apartment and I liked it. And you can do this, too: Make an informed decision based on some great design-star advice. Happy tear-free painting. Send your small-space question to asksampynn@gmail.com.
THE MARION HOUSE BOOK
The Marion House Book/Chatelaine Home editor Emma Reddington painted her entryway wainscotting in Cloud White, and the walls in Benjamin Moore’s Revere Pewter, another highly popular designer choice.
