Some of the best white paint colors for house exterior are included in this picture survey below. These homes and their paint color are the EXACT paint colors, rather than simply inspiration and guess-work. So enjoy!
I hope you find these examples as helpful as I have while proceeding to do your home makeover!
Sherwin Williams White Duck
This white paint color, White Duck, is a versatile white paint choice as seen in the above contrasting homes. The Southern colonial home (on the right) is well suited for this warm white and it looks like a natural continuation of a home that has been updated to “today’s color palette.”
Then, in regards to the more modern home on the right, this happy, warm white surprisingly blends well with this modern transitional style. They successfully mix jet black windows, warm woods and a deep, charcoal roof and everything blends symbiotically.
When people talk about the best white paint colors for house exterior, I certainly don’t think about Sherwin Williams Alabaster. This is simply because I have used it as a pure white for my kitchen cabinets and it is warmed up by our can lights and interior lighting.
This is such a confident choice for a home exterior and I’m sensing that it would be a good choice for homes in immaculate condition and landscaping because it will be catching everyone’s eyes!
Do you have the perfect combo of door and shutter color and you just need your house to stand out? Well, proceed with caution and be sure to compare some other white choices too, but at least you have seen this example for reference!
And I included one more example of this paint color below! It really does feel like a win!
Best White Paint Colors For House Exterior: Sherwin Williams Dover White, A Wonderfully Forgiving Creamy White
I’m surprising myself as I say this, but for a modern farmhouse, I think this exact home could have gone in a brighter white direction due to its modern aesthetic. It’s when a home is more traditional that I feel as if the white should be more “antiqued” looking.
Nevertheless, here is a great image to see Dover White in an exterior setting.
A Picturesque Traditional Home: Sherwin Williams Original White
Wow, how this house has a story-book feel. I can’t say this enough, paint your paint samples on large presentation boards and hold them up on various exterior walls of the home and in different lights to see how they work.
But ultimately, this is a cool example where they have provided complimenting shutter and trim colors and that is a real treat!
Sherwin Williams Swiss Coffee : A Sophisticate Fail-Proof Option
The first time I fell in love with Swiss Coffee was when I saw McGee and Co’s kitchen cabinets in this color. And in case you need to know what I’m talking about, I’ve linked it!
Furthermore, I then painted my master bathroom cabinets in this color and I couldn’t be more thrilled. (My master bathroom is the one with the pastel pink rug on the floor).
**Actually, while I remember, I used “Swiss Coffee” at 135% saturation, so that it would be just a tad bit darker. Remember, increasing or decreasing the saturation of a certain color is also an option too!
Still Rocking The Best White Paint Colors For House Exterior: Benjamin Moore Simply White
Ok, this house is just plain cool. The hardscaping, the funky plants, the concrete squares, the beautiful deep sea-foam green front door, and last but not least, the great white exterior paint color.
Linen White! Ok LW and I have a history together. Basically, I know about this color from my mom. She always used Linen White for her trim in her houses. Then, she went big-time and moved it to her main wall color with “Chantilly Lace”-SW trim.
At first, she was frustrated with the warmer white outcome. But ultimately, it was a fabulous pick! You see, she’s from Danville, KY and has an outstanding inventory of vivid color furniture and rich wood antiques. Porcelains and asian export and wonderful artwork also flank her walls. Case and point, this complicated romance I have with Linen White makes me also have mad respect for it.
The depth and warmth of this white will also work well outdoors. Natural light has a blue hint to it and thus, you can get away with a warmer white than you would guess.
So, don’t be afraid of yellowish and tanish white options. They will actually converse well with the nature aroudn
Sherwin Williams Oyster: Best WhitePaint Colors For House Exterior
Ok this one is a goodie! I guess I’d call this a transitional home (more updated than straight traditional). And for this style, a warm white just as this, not too bright and not too yellow seems just right!
I’ll never forget when our across the street neighbors painted their exterior and the white paint color they chose looked so bright you almost had to shield your eyes from it. What a bummer, it just wasn’t subtle enough. So I caution you guys, if your home is in direct sunlight without a lot of shade, pick your white carefully!
Continuing on with the best white paint colors for house exterior, this “Snowbound,” white is a cool option. Notice how it’s a cool toned white with hints of gray. The purity of the color and lack of yellow, sits will next to the complimenting taupe and gray trim and shutter colors.
Basically, what a great trio of paint colors to potentially use for your next home transformation!
