Shades of cream and beige aren't just for hallways or offices anymore. They're a warm alternative to stark white and can actually contrast a snowy white trim or lighter wood details. A shade like Sea Salt by Benjamin Moore is a soothing shade that instantly warms up a space without being too overwhelming.
If you can't bear to be without color but want a more timeless, neutral space, consider a light neutral green. It's colorful enough to satisfy your color lust and neutral enough to go with anything. This subtle shade has become one of the most popular picks in interior design and is even Benjamin Moore's Color of 2022. October Mist is silvery green with gray undertones so it's more muted than the more vibrant greens we see.
Alabaster by Sherwin Williams is a warm white that has become a favorite among homeowners and designers. This is a soft, creamy undertone that provides a welcoming and cozy atmosphere, making it an ideal choice for any room in the house. Whether used on walls, trim, or cabinetry, Alabaster creates a seamless backdrop that complements a wide range of color palettes and design styles. It reflects light beautifully adds a sense of spaciousness, making it a timeless option for those seeking a neutral yet clean look.
Gray is one of the most dependable shades and a new favorite among color experts and designers. A light gray is best on walls and kitchen cabinets when it comes to interiors. There are so many grays we love, and a shade like Light French Gray by Sherwin Williams is foolproof and goes with whites. This particular shade is described as neutral-to-cool gray and works well in a space with some natural light.
Anything we can do to add serenity and peace to our lives and our homes is the way to go! Light blue is an instantly calming shade and works great on walls. A shade like Iceberg by Benjamin Moore looks perfect with light floors and white trim for a spa-like space full of tranquility. While light blue is technically a color, a muted blue-green shade is neutral enough to go anywhere.
Blush pink has become a top trending neutral color in fashion as well as interior design. More homeowners are opting to go for blush walls or an accent wall because of the subtle statement it makes. A shade like Benjamin Moore's Gobi Desert has just a touch of mauve as well as gray undertones and beige, so it plays well with other neutral colors.
All white paint shades were not created equal. In fact, when you put different white paints on walls during different times of the day, they couldn't be more different. A neutral white will be between warm and cool, extremely versatile, and work well in any setting. White Dove by Benjamin Moore is a go-to for paint pros and designers for exactly those reasons.
Super White by Benjamin Moore is a crisp, clean white that stands out for its versatility and timeless appeal. This shade is perfect for those who desire a bright, airy feel in their home without the starkness that some whites can bring. Super White often makes spaces feel larger and more open. Whether used on walls, trim, or ceilings, it provides a flawless backdrop that complements both modern and traditional design elements. Its neutral undertone ensures it pairs well with any color palette, making it a great choice for those looking to create a cohesive and elegant look throughout their home.
Sherwin Williams' Malabar, part of their 2025 color of the year capsule, is a soft, muted beige has subtle undertones. It pairs beautifully with both warm and cool color palettes. Malabar is perfect for creating a serene and inviting atmosphere, whether used in living rooms, bedrooms, or even kitchens. Its understated charm makes it an excellent choice for those looking to add a hint of a darker color without overwhelming the space.
In conclusion, neutral paint colors are a versatile and timeless choice for any home interior. From soothing beiges to calming blues, there is a neutral shade to suit every style and preference.
