E-mail to a Friend Add to Favorites Print
The color white is truly timeless—a favorite of designers and architects for centuries, this hue evokes style in any design.

"White always makes a statement. It is distinct, versatile and unparalleled; it is brilliant."

- Linda O'Keeffe, Brilliant: White in Design

One of the most essential paint colors in any designer or architect's palette of go-to hues is white.

And while white can be incorrectly labeled as boring or plain, we know this color is anything but that! With its vast nuances and subtle tints, white has the ability to cultivate a look that is complex, soothing, sophisticated, and classic.

Designers and architects have trusted the Benjamin Moore selection of 140 sophisticated white paint hues for decades, with stunning results.

Read an interview with noted design writer Linda O'Keeffe and learn more about Brilliant: White in Design in the latest issue of Nuance, Benjamin Moore's e-magazine for designers.
