    It’s always good to have a recommended white paint color so I’m filing this away for the time being. PS & BTW I LOVE that dark wall in your dining room … it’s GORGEOUS!!!

      Is the first photo with the drop cloths down Origami White? Or is that a “before” picture? It looks so much more yellow in that photo than all the others.

    What trim color did you use with origami? Was the ceiling bright white? Looks great!

    I absolutely love it! I’m about to move into a new (old, 1970’s) townhome and have been desperate to find that perfect hint-of-cold-but-warm white. This looks like just the ticket!
    Curious about the trim. Is that also Ceiling White? Or did you go with a different white there?
    Thanks!

    Pretty home. With the Origami White walls, what white paint (and finish) did you use for your trim and doors? Thank you.

    I’m searching for the SW color that’s a shade darker than Alabaster to use on exterior. Your review captured a key thing I like about Alabaster…how it changes in different light. Do you think this color has what it takes to could be a good candidate for my search? I

      Sorry for the delay in response! I hesitate to give a full yes on this because I’m just not familiar with it as an exterior color, but I am very happy with it on the interior and definitely would choose it again!

        I would say like most whites, when the sun is shining in, there would be the most yellow you would see. But most of the time, it’s a very neutral white if that makes sense.

    Would you say that origami looks good next to charcoal smokey dark blue/almost grey? We are doing that as an accent wall and I want a not stark white but something that will go well next to the charcoal smokey color! It was between Oragami and BM Simply White

      I think it can work! It doesn’t have a strong lean toward blues or yellows, but it’s still got a creamy tone rather than stark white. I hope that helps!

    Thank you Julie for this post and for taking all the pictures in different light situations.

    I will be re-painting my golden walled bedroom this winter. The room has north and east facing windows which provides sufficient light on sunny days but on cloudy days and in winter makes the room feel quite dark. The room needed a lighter color palette just not a stark white. You sold me on Oragami White.

    Your home is beautiful BTW; you did a great job furnishing it.

    We are planning to change the Hard wood floor stain and wall color for our home with 20 foot tall ceiling. Please let me know what is your floor stain color? We wanted to go with creamy white for wall like SW egg white/Dover white/Summer White. Now we like the Oragami white from your awesome house. Also, kindly suggest some good combinations for Accent wall as well plz. Thanks in advance !

    Bless you for this post! I’ve been trying to find the perfect white for the last year. I will be getting a sample of the Origami White today to try it! Is your ceiling in the satin finish too? Thank you again for this awesome post!
