stickyfingers Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Just as in real interiors, there's a LOT of choices for white. If you go too white, you may be painting many coats to get good coverage, and I think bright whites look a little harsh in the mini world. Too creamy and it looks dirty. If I'm painting trim white, I like to paint it all the same, room to room, so a weird white can clash with other colors. Anyway, just wondering if anyone has found a good white that you really love.

Sable Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 I use Warm White in most of my houses. But it is on the beige side. My next house will be centered around Carrara marble, slate, various grays and a to be determined white. So I am interested in the other options, also. Good question.

Dalesq Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 The While Rose is a bright white...it's Americana Titanium White and I like it a lot and use it in my own mixes. I've also used the Liquitex version. But the color I really like is Americana Light Buttermilk which is a creamy off white (see Tudor Cottage) a lot like an Heirloom White.

Sable Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Is there a white that complements gray? Almost sounds like the titanium white would do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly I use bright white but Pratt and Lambert makes a white that is just a bit creamy that I like on Victorians. It seems to go nicely with those bright Victorian wallpapers. http://www.bradbury.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vbharrington Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 I personally like the "Snow (Titanium) White" from Americana, but I plan on using "Buttermilk" for the trim on the DC Farmhouse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used the Americana Buttermilk for Maus Haus. It has a creamy yellow tone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashlie Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 i use Folk Art Wicker White- its very clean but not bright white. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
claireliontamer Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 My current favourite is a chalk white furniture paint from the general DIY store not a craft shop. It's far cheaper, covers better and I like the slightly chalky finish. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyckedWood Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 I've used a lot of a color called Parchment on my houses don't remember if its delta or Americana brand. I don't usually use just one color though, usually mix with a little of something either darker or lighter, depending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L Swearengin Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 I use interior house paint. The bright white base, with no color added. Normally just one coat for sealing wood, then paint what ever color I need over the base coat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
