People don’t often give much thought to a shade of white paint. They all look similar until you paint, and the white looks nothing like it did in the store. The undertones of white are exceptionally noticeable when they’re in a room with other colors. The Benjamin Moore paint experts at Red Star Paint & Decorating Center can help you find shades of white you’ll enjoy for many years.
Benjamin Moore Simply White OC-117
You can use a crisp white with a hint of warmth, like Benjamin Moore Simply White OC-117, in any space, which makes it an excellent choice for unifying an open concept design. Pair Simply White with Benjamin Moore White Dove OC-17, another clean white shade, to create depth while maintaining a cohesive appearance.
Consider a Space’s Natural Light
Colors look different throughout the day. Leave samples on the wall for a few days to see how they look in natural and ambient light. Another factor to keep in mind is the direction a room faces. A north-facing room looks best with a warm white, like Benjamin Moore Cloud White OC-130, that balances the cool blue-gray natural light. Rooms facing the south need a cool cast, like that found in Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace 2121-70.
White Paint: Room By Room
Hallways
White paint makes hallways look more spacious, especially if they don’t have windows for natural light. Benjamin Moore Pompeii OC-82 is a warm off-white with creamy yellow undertones that gives a hallway a warm, welcoming ambiance. On the trim, you can create contrast with an earthy shade, like Benjamin Moore Venetian Portico AF-185.
Bathrooms
Light neutrals bring a clean vibe to bathrooms, but a bright white will make the room look stark and sterile. Benjamin Moore Acadia White OC-38 features creamy tones that soften the white. Incorporating shades of green, like Benjamin Moore Woodland Green 459, gives your bathroom a relaxed, spa-like aesthetic.
Bedrooms
Your bedroom is a sanctuary where you unwind, so quiet neutrals are an excellent choice. Benjamin Moore White Opulence OC-69 is an airy white with a touch of pink that makes an outstanding canvas on which to layer other colors. If you prefer a feminine palette, pair it with the fresh white of Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace and a satin pink with soothing gray undertones, like Benjamin Moore Charmeuse AF-265. For a more gender neutral color scheme, swap out Charmeuse AF-265 for the notes of brown, taupe, and gray in Benjamin Moore Driftwood 2107-40.
Create a Stunning Neutral Palette
Bold, adventurous colors aren’t for everyone. Fortunately, you can design a striking color scheme in a space using neutral shades. Benjamin Moore Gentle Cream OC-96 is a pleasant off-white that adds depth and warmth to a room. The buttery tones of Benjamin Moore Vanilla Ice Cream OC-90 brighten a room with Gentle Cream, while the medium hues in Benjamin Moore Brookline Beige HC-47 bring balance and softness. We recommend this palette for living or dining rooms to ensure your friends and family feel comfortable and welcome.
