White Dove | OC-17

Our go-to suggestion for white paint when a client asks is most often Benjamin Moore’s OC-17. This color is always the perfect shade to bring some neutral tones into a colorful space or be the blank canvas for starting a fresh neutral color palette. This color looks great on siding, brick exteriors or fireplaces, refinished cabinets, or simply on your walls.

Accessible Beige | SW 7036

Accessible beige is the perfect neutral balance with its gray undertones. This is one of those colors that sometimes looks beige and in other lighting can seem heavier on the gray look. Accessible beige may be the perfect addition to your next bathroom project or living room refresh.

Alabaster | SW 7008 

Bright white paint can almost have an overpowering cool effect on your space. Alabaster has the warm qualities missing in many other bright white paints that bring the warmth from the sun into your home. If you have been considering painting your brick white, take this paint color as a start the project (with Blue Star of course).

Navajo White | SW 6126

The yellow undertones of Sherwin Williams’s Navajo White make it one of the warmer options when choosing a white shade. This shade can act as the perfect shade to neutralize a space that you may feel is currently too colorful. 

Cloud White | OC-130

OC-130 simply has the perfect balance of warm and cool-toned white. It creates the blank canvas you need to show off your style in your artwork and decor. Cloud white by Benjamin Moore brings the blank canvas to your walls to fill with pieces allowing them to truly stand-out.

Anew Gray | SW 7030

This warm-toned gray from Sherwin Williams is a great neutral option for your space. Some gray’s can have too cool of undertones making them hard to choose for a home with classic and traditional elements. The undertones of Anew Gray can bring the warm undertones into a space that has warm elements already while still utilizing a neutral color.

Dusty Trail | PPG1097-4

One of PPG/Glidden’s most popular colors is Dusty Trail. The best part of a neutral home is its calming presence when you walk in. This calming neutral shade is the perfect addition to the laundry room, basement, or any other room you want to bring a little calmness back into the space.
