White kitchen cabinets are a timeless classic — but walk into any paint store and you’ll quickly discover that “white” is anything but simple. There are hundreds of white paint colors, and choosing the wrong one can make your kitchen feel cold, dingy, or just slightly off. For homeowners in Columbus, Mansfield, Lexington, Ontario, Delaware, Dublin, and Powell, Ohio, here’s our professional guide to the best white cabinet colors in 2025.

At Willow & Wick Cabinet Coatings, white is consistently our most-requested cabinet color — and we’ve applied hundreds of shades across kitchens throughout Central and North Central Ohio. These are our top picks.

1. Benjamin Moore White Dove (OC-17)

Arguably the most popular cabinet white in the country right now, White Dove is a warm, creamy white with just a hint of yellow undertone. It feels soft and inviting without looking yellow, and it photographs beautifully. Works in virtually any kitchen style — farmhouse, transitional, modern, and traditional.

2. Sherwin-Williams Alabaster (SW 7008)

Alabaster is a soft, warm white with subtle beige undertones. It’s slightly warmer than White Dove and pairs beautifully with wood accents, warm-toned countertops, and brass or gold hardware. A top choice for farmhouse and transitional kitchens across Ohio.

3. Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace (OC-65)

For homeowners who want a crisp, clean, bright white without going stark, Chantilly Lace is the answer. It has virtually no undertone — just pure, clean white. It’s the go-to choice for modern and contemporary kitchens, and it makes small kitchens feel significantly larger and brighter.

4. Sherwin-Williams Pure White (SW 7005)

Pure White lives up to its name — it’s a clean, versatile white that works in both warm and cool-toned kitchens. It’s slightly softer than Chantilly Lace, making it a great choice for homeowners who want bright white without the starkness.

5. Benjamin Moore Simply White (OC-117)

Simply White is a warm, bright white — the perfect middle ground between creamy and crisp. It was Benjamin Moore’s Color of the Year and remains one of the most popular cabinet colors we apply. It works beautifully in kitchens with both warm and cool elements.

Tips for Choosing Your White

• Always test your top choices in your actual kitchen — lighting changes everything
• Consider your countertop and flooring undertones — match warm to warm, cool to cool
• View samples at different times of day — morning, afternoon, and evening light
• Ask for a design mock-up — Willow & Wick includes this with every project
