I'm thinking of changing paint colors to pure white because white is always on the shelf with no mixing. Home depot no longer has Swiss coffee semigloss on the shelf. And mixing swiss coffee takes too long. Does pure white semigloss look bad as an interior colour? --172.58.xxx.xxx

If wait time is an issue, order Sherwin Williams paint online. --172.56.x.xxx

White all by itself becomes way too much white,i like semi gloss white trim,kitchen and bathrooms but all white in a whole unit would be overwhelming i think --72.231.xxx.xxx

Hi Mike, I'm going to be the dissenter here. I only use white semi gloss paint on everything and it has never been an issue. I fell that once someone brings in their belongings that will add the color. Plus the curtains and/or blinds that I use also add color. Also I think it makes a space look a little larger and when I see some of the homes and mansions on tv they are using white. When I went to a apartment tour recently the color was white and some off white. White provides a blank canvas. Good luck. --12.47.xx.xx

R (OH) all that white doesnt look overwhelming and too much? --72.231.xxx.xxx

Semigloss only looks good on woodwork. There is a satin finish too and an eggshell and both are better than flat white. --108.24.xx.xx

Not saying I am correct but we use flat ceiling white on ceilings in large rooms. Walls are Ben Moore floral white in satin and trim and doors is high gloss off the shelf white. In bedrooms we have been ok doing ceiling and walls in the floral white. I like satin because sometimes I can get by cleaning the walls rather than painting. I like using all the same color so I can do just 1 wall if need be. --67.7.xx.xxx

IMO, the white from a can is too stark. I understand not waiting around to get your paint mixed, but perhaps you all ahead to the pro desk and pay for it over the phone and they could have it mixed for you. I wonder if you can do it online for instore pickup that day, even? --70.105.xxx.xxx

I hope you all have fun and learn a lot the convention. --12.47.xx.xx

I use Walmart White house brand semi-gloss on turnovers - walls, ceilings, cabinet doors - sometimes cover the windows, floors and appliances and spray it on with a spray gun. Can find at any Walmart and paint got a good review on Consumer Reports. Cheapest upgrade on turnover is fresh paint for B and C class apartments. --2.56.xxx.xx

Even if you decide to paint it white, semigloss on the walls usually looks cheap, trim and walls in the same color look lazy and cheap. But I will admit, I am white ceiling person. They all have to be painted flat ceiling white. --71.164.xx.xx

I did paint a house that I ended up selling, in SW Greek Villa. I thought it looked nice. Not too stark but not yellowish either. The doors and trim where SW Extra white so there was a little bit of contrast. --72.188.xxx.xxx
