Exterior White Paint Help - White Dove or Greek Villa?

We are getting ready to paint our brick ranch house in white. We want something warm and creamy, but not too warm or creamy because our shutters and door will be black. We think we've narrowed it down to SW Greek Villa or BM White Dove. Based on the color wheel below, they look really similar. Can anyone help with suggestions or pictures of the two or provide info on undertone, etc.? We've swatched in multiple places on the brick but still having trouble deciding. Also, our house faces North west.


FYI - we started with Alabaster (felt like we could see a yellow tint when driving by other houses that were Alabaster), Pearly White (didn't feel quite creamy enough), Shoji (too creamy), White Dove and Greek Villa.

Appreciate any help!

    You may want to lean towards Greek Dove. In the color theory I've learned as a photographer and graphic designer (and since your house faces northwest), you'll want to minimize the amount of hues that will be cast onto your house because of sunset. Greek Villa is in a cooler section of yellow than White Dove. A smaller chroma number means it won't be as rich, so, since Greek Villa has a large chroma number, it should cancel out more of the yellow colors you're seeing than White Dove would. It's important to note that it won't cancel it out completely, but it should have more of a cancellation effect than White Dove has.
