    I was planning to use Whipped Cream for my office, as I wanted a white with warm undertones. Here it says it’s warm, but in this article from a could years ago it says it’s cool. Has it changed?

    I love my cracked pepper doors and cabinets. What would pair better with them for a whole house paint color, whisper white or whipped cream, or am I splitting hairs?

      Hi John,

      I’m happy to help you on your color journey!

      Whisper White and Whipped Cream are both beautiful warm white tones and quite similar in appearance. Either would pair nicely with Cracked Pepper. Since the differences are subtle, I recommend picking up 8oz samples of each to swatch on your walls. Seeing them in your space and lighting will help you decide which one feels just right.

      Colorfully Yours,

      Deanna
