Best White Paint Colors for Trim and Doors

A good trim white is very light (LRV around 85 or higher) and close to neutral, so it works next to almost any wall color without looking yellow or blue. Use it in semi-gloss on trim and doors. Good places to start: White Dove (Benjamin Moore), Chantilly Lace (Benjamin Moore), Simply White (Benjamin Moore).

How we picked: White colors with an LRV of 84 or more and very little color (low chroma). Widely used colors come first. Values are from published color data, so check a sample on your own wall before buying.
