We are about to paint our newly built modern with rustic touches home.

We want to paint the whole house white,   any favorite whites?

IS Farrow and Ball much better than Benjamin Moore?

Thank you!

 Also look at P&L Silver Lining and Decorators White.  There are lots of nice whites in every collection I think.

Farrow and Ball have some gorgeous colours - but every one of them has a greenish undertone. 

I prefer my colours to be warmer so I've stayed away from their line. Given that it's quite expensive that's a bonus.

I have used Benjamin Moore myself and I love it.  I used Cloud White for my trim and what I like about it is that it is not a yellow white at all.  Cloud White seems to be a favorite of many designers.

Everyone seems to have their own opinion on which paint is best. Personally, I really like Sico and Sherwin Williams. I've used Farrow & Ball found that it splattered quite a bit. I've used Benjamin Moore a lot and have no complaints about it. 

Benjamin Moore has a lot of whites to choose from. Cloud White is popular for trim. Kimberley Seldon likes Ballet White. If you decide to go with F&B, Pointing is a nice creamy white. Sherwin Williams has a nice white called Creamy.
