Off-White Paint Colors

White serves as a fantastic base for all colors, but bright white can give a space a sterile, clinical aesthetic. If you want the versatile look of a neural hue but don’t aren’t on board with beige or gray, off-white may be the ideal solution. Let’s talk about the benefits of off-white and the best shades of it to use in your NYC home.

All shades of white create soothing, tranquil spaces. Off-white pairs well with all neutral and bold colors and has more personality than pure white. Smudges and dirt are not as noticeable on off-white walls, which New Yorkers with kids or pets will appreciate. You may think off-white is always a warm cream color, but there are hundreds of shades, including ones with warm and cool undertones.

Off-white paint with warm peach undertones will give your bedroom an elegant vibe. The muted peach tones of Benjamin Moore Albescent OC-40 are an exquisite accent for the simple elegance of Benjamin Moore Shaker Beige HC-45. Incorporate Benjamin Moore Brookline Beige HC-47, a medium neutral with a peachy subtle glow for added depth.

Benjamin Moore Swiss Coffee OC-45 is a timeless choice for kitchen cabinets. Pair it with a quiet beige like Benjamin Moore Fossil AF-65 for a simple, refined aesthetic, or introduce a grounding, earthy appeal with Benjamin Moore Lush AF-475, a rich green with a subtle touch of blue.

If your dining room preferences are more chic than stuffy, the cool blue-gray undertones of Benjamin Moore Full Moon 2119-70 are an excellent backdrop for sleek accent colors. Pair Full Moon with Benjamin Moore Midnight Oil 1631, a dark blue emboldened by a generous touch of black, to lean into the intentional use of deep hues. You can introduce color with furniture and accessories or a lively hue like Benjamin Moore Vibrant Blush 2081-30, a dynamic shade featuring touches of brick red and hot pink.

Benjamin Moore Simply White OC-117 is a quintessential off-white that looks fantastic in any setting. The slightest hint of warmth makes this off-white an adaptable color that you can pair with warm or cool undertones. Benjamin Moore Somerville Red HC-62 is a dusty shade of wine that accentuates the warmth of Simply White by enveloping rooms with a romantic glow that looks spectacular in intimate living rooms. If you prefer to balance the warmth of Simply White with cool undertones, Benjamin Moore Casco Bay 2051-30 is an excellent choice.
