Weekly Update

Picking the right off-white

Whether you’re looking for the right accent for your trim or want to re-do your entire home in a more neutral aesthetic, landing on the right off-white for your space can be an overwhelming decision. There are dozens of shades out there that have very subtle differences between them so it’s easy to get lost in the process for even the most trained eyes. 

To help make this choice easier for you, we’ve decided to highlight a small selection of colours that the designers, realtors and homeowners we’ve worked with over the years have frequently turned to for their projects. 

By far the most popular choice is Chantilly Lace (OC-65) as it is by far one of the brightest shades available and provides the biggest pop when used on trim. It has supplanted Cloud White (CC-40) as the industry’s go-to shade of choice.

If none of these speak to you, we are more than happy to aid you in the selection process so you can find the perfect match for your needs. Don’t hesitate to ask.
