I completely agree with your choices! Every one of them are true hits. Also, I'd like to add two major favorites: Benjamin Moore Linen White (a warm but crisp white, great for woodwork) and Benjamin Moore Safari (a taupey gold that goes great with Linen White and works really well in dining rooms). A very experienced decorator clued me in to these!
