The Best Pure White Paint Color

The best pure white paint color for any project.

Trying to find the perfect white paint color is an overwhelming task. There are just SO MANY to choose from. I have spent hours looking at paint swatches only to end up more confused than when I started.

It wasn’t until I started refinishing the baseboards and interior doors in my home that I discovered my favorite paint color. I was looking for a pure white. Not an off-white, gray-white, yellow-white, pink-white.. just WHITE. I found that so many whites have an undertone that isn’t always noticeable until something is fully painted.

The Best Pure White Paint Color

Behr Ultra Pure White

Behr Ultra Pure White is the best pure white color that will go with any wall color and any home style. It is absolutely perfect for so many things: baseboards and trim, interior doors, ceiling, hallway cabinets, kitchen cabinets. I also had a friend paint their stone fireplace white with this color and it is gorgeous!

I used the semi-gloss enamel pictured above for all the baseboards, trim, and interior doors in my home. This way they will have slightly more shine than my walls (which are satin) and will be easy to clean.

Baseboards painted with Behr Ultra Pure White

It took two coats to get them looking perfectly white. In this picture below, you can see how BIG of a difference this paint makes! In just one coat my interior doors went from a dirty almond-white to a pure white! Click here to see the full tutorial of how I repainted all the interior doors and refinished the hardware.

I also used this color to paint my hallway cabinets so that it matched the baseboards and trim. It looks so much nicer and makes my hallway so much brighter!
