White is white. Right? With options including Eider White, Spare White, Shell White and Divine White, you quickly realize there’s much more nuance to your white paint choice. Go crisp and modern with cool whites, or cozy and traditional with warm whites. Let’s identify the right whites to feature in your palette.
The crisp, clean look of cool white paint colors and hues comes from blue, green or violet undertones. Graceful and sophisticated, these whites convey a modernity that complements minimalist architecture and streamlined design to perfection.
With undertones of yellow and red, warm whites offer an inviting glow. Use these whites for a comfortable, understated vibe that pairs well with traditional décor and natural materials like linen, sisal, wood and travertine.
