![]() Greek Villa is a fan favorite with clients and our in-house color specialists. We do not recommend going brighter than this on the exterior or interior of your home because it can appear a bit washed out or dull and you may start to lose coverage with brighter options. This isn’t a color you often see used on the exterior body of a home since it is so stark but if you’re looking for the whitest white then this is a great option. Pure White is a bright white that is crisp, clean, and cool compared to Origami White or Creamy. It’s a great choice for ceilings and trim but can also be used as a base color. Pure White is one of the most used exterior and interior whites from Sherwin Williams and sets the standard for a sharp, classic white. Pair it with a sharp white like Pure White on your trim for a nice contrast or use it on both walls and trim for a subtle french finish. Use it as an all-over color for your walls to tie spaces together. This would pair nicely with exposed brick or earthy elements rather than a bright white because it offers a harmonious flow and can tie into those earth tones with its slight gray undertones. ![]() Compared to another Sherwin Williams classic, Alabaster SW 7008, Origami White offers a bit more interest and dimension. This color goes on beautifully because it’s not too warm and not too cool, but rather that perfect in-between shade. It has a slightly greige undertone which helps it feel modern and fresh. Origami White is still on the neutral spectrum of whites and would be considered an off-white. If you want something a bit warmer than Creamy then we recommend Sherwin Williams Dover White SW 6285 because it offers a lot of that same warmth without quite as much depth. This is why Creamy makes our list because it has just a bit of warmth without looking too yellow. Compared to a pure white, you still have a nice dimensional layering look. Creamy pairs well with dark, cool, and warmer colors. This is a great option if you’re looking for something that’s sophisticated and fresh without feeling sterile. Creamy is a warmer white that has yellow undertones so it’s what we might consider a soft white. It reminds us of a cake frosting that doesn’t feel stark or cold.
