Hi Susan, which white would depend on the flooring, trim color and other contents of the space. These are considerations covered in a color consultation. Which I am not doing right now but I can recommend a few Color Strategists that I have trained that are (at this time) accepting new clients. https://campchroma.com/certified-color-strategists/
