All my walls are painted Atrium white. I have oak floors and lots of wood trim and an old brick fireplace. I've also got a red Bokhara. The Artirum white looks fine.

I am a big fan of Atrium white -- used in my baths and kitchen and for all trim in my apt. It has matched well with everything from the tan in my living room to the persimmon in my dining room to the bamboo green in my bedroom.

My upstairs neighbor used decorator white when she had her apt. repainted last year and had a ton left over. So, in an effort to save $ on repainting my office/guest room which desperately needed it, I borrowed some last weekend and painted. The thing I noticed right away (as did my friend who was helping me) is that it has a decidedly blue-ish cast to it. It was fine with me, but just putting it out there.

i used Behr Moon Rise to take my kitchen from oily yellow to a clean, crisp white. it really opened the space and it looks fantastic.

Hi. I am in need of some good suggestions for a white paint for our kitchen/family room area. Have looked at lots of colors - but are deciding to go with a version of white. Of course there are TONS of choices. I am thinking of the Ben Moore Atrium white or linen white....
we live in a timber frame home - lots of exposed medium oka beams, wood floors and a good deal of natural light. I am a little worried it will look boring 0 but i think the white will bring out our beams more....
what you are your thoughts?????
THANKS!!!!!

I have devine vanilla in a long hallway. It's a warm white, very easy to live with. Never stark. Devine whip is in a bathroom. It appears very crisp and clean there.

On color matching devine colors-- When I first discovered the Devine line, I bought a gallon of Shell. We decided to use it in several rooms, so we needed more. DH thought it was silly to pay $37 when we could just have it color matched at home depot. Well, their first try was way off. Next try was really close. We painted one side of a stairwell with the Devine, the other with the home depot version. The devine side really is nicer. I understand now what they mean about the glow it has. Hard to explain, but when the light hits it, it has a GLOW to it, rather than shininess.

Next, we discovered that Miller will mix up whatever devine color you like in one of their standard bases. They have the recipe of course, so you get the exact color. But their bases have varying degrees of SHINE rather than GLOW. You really can tell a difference.

I love the devine colors, and will never bother with anything else. If you like it on the large card, you'll like it on the wall. No more hideous disappointments once the paint's on a whole wall. we have manzanita, date, fescue, vanilla, whip, latte, shell, reef, and silver. Silver is the most astonishing color. It looks like gray, until you put it with warmer colors or the light hits it. Then it's the most beautiful, sophisticated blue.

If you go look at the colors at a miller store, be SURE to take the swatches over to a window to see them in natural light.

We used full-spectrum whites by Donald Kaufman throughout our home, and they are absolutely worth it. They are the most beautiful whites, which change according to the different lighting conditions. (his darks are gorgeous too). They were pricey, but we consider them money well-spent, especially since we have a somewhat bare aesthetic.

how about pratt & lambert silver lining?

We are using atrium white on our baseboards and doors, and at the last minute we decided to also do the walls white. The painter is already scheduled to come Thursday. Does anyone know what Benjamin Moore white would look good on the walls with atrium white on the trim?
