You might also check out Maria Killam's blog called "Colour me Happy". She is an expert on picking colors that work together and is a huge fan of white. The upshot of her advice is to try very large samples in your rooms before you commit and be sure to evaluate the undertone.

I'm in the process of converting my attic into a home office. The walls and vaulted ceiling are currently knotty pine. I'd like to paint the whole thing white to brighten up the space. The room get some light but not much. I'm thinking about a creamy off white and wonder whether anyone has any suggestions re: brand paint/shade of white. I'm thinking of a textured rug in a natural shade to finish off the space. All suggestions and ideas welcome. Thank you, Chrissy

See above responses.

I posted a thread in the kitchen forum (search under "what white") a couple weeks ago. Most common response was Benjamin Moore Dove White (OC-17) but many also liked Sherwin Williams Simply White & Acadia White. When talking to people who were going to quote on doing work for me...many were very familiar with Dove White, had used it, and had found it to be a great all purpose white. A pretty "true" white, but not shockingly bright - but also not beige/yellow at all.
