Best of bossy's colors: My 3 favorite whites for trim

All by Benjamin Moore:

OC-17 White Dove.
A little grey, good with cool colors.

OC-39 Timid White.
A little creamy, good with warm colors.

HC-27 Monterey White.
A little taupe-y, good with rich, darker colors.

Oh, and Super White for most bathroom trim.

I tend to use a semi-gloss finish for trim, both because it cleans easily and because I like shiny things.

I REALLY prefer oil full gloss paint for trim, but it's hard to work with and, well, it's toxic. Always a drawback.
