White vs. Biscuit

There is about a $100 price increase between these two. And if I were to see a biscuit toilet and tub by itself, it looks white to me. Side by side, its a softer, creamer look.

Are white toilets and tubs like STARK white? Is it really worth the price difference?

    Most designers prefer an off-white rather than a bright white, because it doesn't look like such a start contrast to other colors.  But it depends on the look you're going for. 

    In the grand scheme of things, an extra $100 for something like that, which you'll probably have in your house for the rest of the time you live there, is a good investment if it gives you a look that you like better.

  • IMO there enough of a difference between white and biscuit to keep me from doing it. To me, when they're in the same room white makes biscuit look dingy. Also? If you are using different manufacturers for different pieces would caution against getting one thing in "biscuit", one thing in "bisque" and something else in "bone." They may match but they may not.
  • we had cream or biscuit in our townhouse and i really liked it. when looking for pieces when redoing our baths in our current home, everyone - family, friends, store people - said that biscuit was very dated and to go with white. so we did. it's fine - clean, fresh, bright. works with the colors i chose anyway for tile, countertop and paint.

    anyway, i like both and don't think either is dated - it's neutral. it's not like my kitchen cream formica cabinets with oak trim dated. 

  • Oh, and people love to say that things are dated. I agree with Melanie, both are neutrals.

    Yes

  • We have white and no complaints.  It is easy to decorate around white, so I'm not sure I would pay the difference for biscuit.
