Hi all, I am looking for the purest white paint for trim and door, I have tried these following paints:
- Dulux Brilliant White
- Jotun 0001 White
- Jotun 7236 Chi

However, none of the outcome really shows pure white color, at least match the wall color as shown in the picture:

almost all paints I've tried so far, will give out a hint of yellow. the worst paint I tried is Dulux Brilliant White, which will turn yellowish in less than a month.

I'd like to seek advice from anyone who can tell me which paint i should look out for purest white, at least match the wall color?

Jotun Chi is not pure white, 0001 is the purest white you can find for Jotun
if you want the 'purest' white, or nippon perfect white, but nippon perfect white is more for painting ceiling and not suitable for wall paint

you need to paint the wall and door with the same white and paint it at around the same time, when paint go through UV damage, daily usage wear and tear, the color will fade, even different type of paint from the same manufacturer with the same color code, it will have slight difference in color tone although they are still white

and white is the worst when it come to covering the previous paint job, maybe your previous paint job is affecting your current white tone, i painted 4 layer of Jotun supreme finish on my light blue color door with acceptable level of whiteness

even with white undercoat?
