Whites
1. Benjamin Moore White Dove OC-17
This soft white is our go-to! Not too sterile and leaning towards warm, this popular ‘white’ selection is most sought after for cabinetry, trim, and molding.

Greys

This timeless and elegant gray never goes out of style. Just like the warm sand and cooling ocean waters that surround your feet on the beach, this gray warmly welcomes all.
Neutral gray is more than just a trend – it’s a lifestyle. Divine and simple, you’ll be happy to enjoy Techile gray for years to come – plus it’s a great base color to use anywhere in your home!

Blacks
1. Sherwin-Williams Iron Ore 7069
