<p>“Any color from Benjamin Moore’s* Color Story Collection is good—they have so much pigment that they all work.” &#8211; George Brazil</p>
<p><iframe id="benjaminMooreIframe" style="height: 190px; width: 290px; margin-left: 0px;" src="http://www.benjaminmoore.com/bm/colorgallery/embed_color.jsp?colorvalue=rgb%28229%2C%20221%2C%20197%29&amp;colornum=OC-8&amp;colorname=elephant%20tusk&amp;colorhref=http://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/paint-color/elephanttusk" frameborder="0" width="320" height="240"></iframe></p>
<p>“I like ‘Elephant Tusk.’  It’s not a true white and has a little gray in it.  Of course, it all depends on what you pair with it.” &#8211; Cecilia Sagrera-Hill</p>
<p><iframe id="benjaminMooreIframe" style="height: 190px; width: 290px; margin-left: 0px;" src="http://www.benjaminmoore.com/bm/colorgallery/embed_color.jsp?colorvalue=rgb%28251%2C%20244%2C%20227%29&amp;colornum=2159-70&amp;colorname=white%20cloud&amp;colorhref=http://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/paint-color/whitecloud" frameborder="0" width="320" height="240"></iframe></p>
<p>“‘White Cloud’ is super clean and white—it’s pure but not cold.” &#8211; Steven Miller</p>
<p><iframe id="benjaminMooreIframe" style="height: 190px; width: 290px; margin-left: 0px;" src="http://www.benjaminmoore.com/bm/colorgallery/embed_color.jsp?colorvalue=rgb%28236%2C%20238%2C%20235%29&amp;colornum=CC-20&amp;colorname=decorators%20white&amp;colorhref=http://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/paint-color/cc-20" frameborder="0" width="320" height="240"></iframe></p>
<p>“‘Decorators White’ is very clean. So many whites turn yellow, but this stays true white and works well with bright colors.”—Tineke Triggs</p>
<p><iframe id="benjaminMooreIframe" style="height: 190px; width: 290px; margin-left: 0px;" src="http://www.benjaminmoore.com/bm/colorgallery/embed_color.jsp?colorvalue=rgb%28240%2C%20239%2C%20230%29&amp;colornum=OC-17&amp;colorname=white%20dove&amp;colorhref=http://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/paint-color/oc-17" frameborder="0" width="320" height="240"></iframe></p>
<p>“‘White Dove’ is the perfect neutral.” &#8211; Shelly Cahan</p>
<p>“I’d use ‘Decorators White’ or ‘White Dove’ if you want a <em>white</em> white with a little warmth.” &#8211; Antonio Martins.</p>
<p><iframe id="benjaminMooreIframe" style="height: 190px; width: 290px; margin-left: 0px;" src="http://www.benjaminmoore.com/bm/colorgallery/embed_color.jsp?colorvalue=rgb%28243%2C%20236%2C%20219%29&amp;colornum=912&amp;colorname=linen%20white&amp;colorhref=http://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/paint-color/linenwhite" frameborder="0" width="320" height="240"></iframe></p>
<p><iframe id="benjaminMooreIframe" style="height: 190px; width: 290px; margin-left: 0px;" src="http://www.benjaminmoore.com/bm/colorgallery/embed_color.jsp?colorvalue=rgb%28243%2C%20240%2C%20233%29&amp;colornum=PM-13&amp;colorname=atrium%20white&amp;colorhref=http://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/paint-color/pm13" frameborder="0" width="320" height="240"></iframe></p>
<p>“‘Linen White’ is like warm butter,” says Geoffrey DeSousa.  “I tend to stay away from grey whites like ‘China White’ but if you need a cooler white I’d recommend ‘Atrium White.’”</p>
<p><iframe id="benjaminMooreIframe" style="height: 190px; width: 290px; margin-left: 0px;" src="http://www.benjaminmoore.com/bm/colorgallery/embed_color.jsp?colorvalue=rgb%28219%2C%20203%2C%20171%29&amp;colornum=HC-26&amp;colorname=monroe%20bisque&amp;colorhref=http://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/paint-color/monroebisque" frameborder="0" width="320" height="240"></iframe></p>
<p>“Monroe Bisque&#8217; is really pretty—it’s creamy and goes well with green tones.&#8221; &#8211; Jamie Belew</p>
<p><iframe id="benjaminMooreIframe" style="height: 190px; width: 290px; margin-left: 0px;" src="http://www.benjaminmoore.com/bm/colorgallery/embed_color.jsp?colorvalue=rgb%28239%2C%20232%2C%20214%29&amp;colornum=OC-95&amp;colorname=navajo%20white&amp;colorhref=http://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/paint-color/oc-95" frameborder="0" width="320" height="240"></iframe></p>
<p>“‘Navajo White’ is very warm with a little depth to it; other whites can be too hospital looking.  Farrow &amp; Ball’s ‘White Tie’ is a good creamy white but it needs a lot of light or it gets too grey.” &#8211; Fleur Keyes</p>
<p><iframe id="benjaminMooreIframe" style="height: 190px; width: 290px; margin-left: 0px;" src="http://www.benjaminmoore.com/bm/colorgallery/embed_color.jsp?colorvalue=rgb%28249%2C%20248%2C%20233%29&amp;colornum=AF-20&amp;colorname=mascarpone&amp;colorhref=http://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/paint-color/mascarpone" frameborder="0" width="320" height="240"></iframe><br />
<iframe id="benjaminMooreIframe" style="height: 190px; width: 290px; margin-left: 0px;" src="http://www.benjaminmoore.com/bm/colorgallery/embed_color.jsp?colorvalue=rgb%28242%2C%20243%2C%20239%29&amp;colornum=PM-1&amp;colorname=super%20white&amp;colorhref=http://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/paint-color/pm1" frameborder="0" width="320" height="240"></iframe></p>
<p>&#8220;&#8216;Marscapone&#8217; has nice warmth without as much color as &#8216;Linen White&#8217; but if you&#8217;re looking for a great crisp bright white, try &#8216;Super White.&#8217;&#8221; &#8211; Steve Henry</p>
<p>The choice couldn&#8217;t be clearer now, could it?</p>
