Best White Paint Colors for South-Facing Rooms

South-facing rooms get bright, warm light most of the day, so they suit clean, neutral or slightly cool whites that won't turn yellow. Look for an LRV above about 80 and little visible undertone. Good places to start: White Dove (Benjamin Moore), Chantilly Lace (Benjamin Moore), Simply White (Benjamin Moore).

How we picked: White colors with a cool or neutral undertone and an LRV of 80 or more. Widely used colors come first. Values are from published color data, so check a sample on your own wall before buying.
