White Flour Exterior Paint: Color, Shade and Surface Checks

The decision for this particular color

White Flour can be considered for exterior if its color and depth suit the space; confirm exterior product, tint and substrate compatibility separately. White Flour is among the more reflective creamy whites in this set, making the identity of adjacent whites particularly important.

Why the white counters and ivory cabinets relationship matters

A white counter and ivory cabinet can establish competing light references, so decide which surface should lead the white hierarchy.

White Flour has an LRV of 87; Sherwin-Williams Westhighland White SW-7566 is 86. The difference is 1 points, with White Flour returning more light under the reference measurement.

Read the facade in sun and shade

Check White Flour against the factory window white and the roof in open daylight, then under an eave. Exterior sun can make a light sample appear quite different from the same board indoors. Decide whether the trim-to-siding boundary should remain visible from the street.

Confirm the coating after the color direction

Check the fixed whites side by side before choosing which surface should look brightest. The coordinating color options covers that related choice.

White Flour is being assessed here as a color, not as a complete exterior product specification. Ask the supplier to confirm tint availability, substrate suitability and any restrictions for the intended coating. For factory-finished or vinyl materials, follow the relevant manufacturer requirements rather than choosing solely from a reflectance value.
