Hello everyone,

we want to get white interior doors, leaning towards a country style.
But the doors look yellowed and not white in the online pictures. Is this misleading?

We also ordered a sample, and when we hold it next to our white wall, the color also looks kind of yellowed. As if it came from a smoker’s home.

In pictures where the door is installed, everything looks fine. But the door alone looks really bad with that yellowed "white."

Does anyone have experience with this? The RAL color would be 9010. There isn’t much else if you want white doors. There used to be a really bright white option, but then the door was too thin. It almost felt like you didn’t need a door at all.

9010 is slightly yellowish. 9016 is not. 9016 would be too intense for me.

Hello, I have doors that are just as white as my walls. No yellowing – looks great. It goes really well with a dark floor.

You can also paint the walls in 9010 or 9016... Our facade is 9016, and inside we always use 9010. This is because of the warmth in the core...

We have doors and walls in 9016. We like it, and the interior and architecture match well.

There are many shades of white, ranging from Arctic white to ivory white. Arctic white is rarely found in furniture or wood/laminate/veneer in living areas.

We once had someone who complained about their kitchen because it was delivered in a broken white shade, which only became noticeable when compared within the house.
