Stokes White Paint Color Review

Hi guys!

It's been a while since I've written a blog post, as most of my content you'll find on my Instagram. I've been promising a post on my wall color, as it is probably my most frequently asked question. Well, here it goes.

Dining room with a light wood table, white chairs, and framed chalkboard art against a pale wall.

I labored hard over this, y'all! Who would have thought there would be 47,392 shades of white to choose from?! Warm whites, cool whites, neutral whites, white whites, gray whites, and the list goes on. After consulting my closest friends and family and debating the whites ad nauseam, I had finally narrowed it down to two whites: Chantilly Lace by Benjamin Moore and Stokes White by Sherwin-Williams.

One of my favorite bloggers, Megan Stokes, created Stokes White after not loving the yellow undertone of Swiss Coffee in her living room. Here is the link to her blog post that goes into more detail and compares Swiss Coffee to her custom formula.

The reason why I ultimately went with Stokes White is because it's a completely neutral white that is not blinding or stark. It's crisp and clean; not warm or cool. The perfect white!

Bright dining area with white walls, black lantern chandelier, and autumn centerpiece beside the kitchen.

If you decide to go with Stokes White, you won't regret it! Take this picture to your local Sherwin-Williams and they will be able to mix it up for you!

always, abby.
