I want to do the house an off-white color like one of these w/ a medium beige rug. Does anyone know a paint color name similar to this? Thanks!

I second the Bone White. We have it in our entry way and up the stairs and it came out beautiful. I am developing pictures tonight and will try to post asap!

My hall, entrance way, and stairs are Bone White too. When you open the can it looks white but next to bright white (like Dove White) - you see the difference. We were refreshing the moldings in my living room one day and DH gave me a can of paint and I started painting all the moldings Bone White instead of Dove White - they look so similar in the can - I got half way around the room and then realized it was the wrong white - oops! I had to start all over. It is amazing how many shade of white there are.

We had our entire house painted in that color.
I didn't like the starkness of all white and I wanted something that looked warmer.

I'm now in the process of repainting everything in dark, deep colors, because I'm bored with every room being the same thing.

I like the way that in your pictures the room is trimmed out in a brighter white. I think that that makes a big difference in showing SOME color contrast. And I think that shades or white is a very clean look.
Since we don't have trim up, even though the walls aren't WHITE they still look a really plain to me.

Hi Susan! Do you know the color you used or have pics? Thanks! How are you feeling?

It's linen white.

Here are some pics, but remember that the walls are going to LOOK white because unlike your pictures, there's nothing to contrast between the linen white and a stark white

It's noticeable in the bathroom because of the sink and tile being a white white

We just painted our basement in Bone White. We also have Navejo white in our kitchen and hallway.

Also look for a linen whie...it is a softer color like you are looking for..more of a beige tint to it. we used it in the bedroom and it gives a nice glow when the sun shines in!

i agree linen white is what i have too...its a creamy white...
