Creamy Off-White: Pay Attention to this Exterior Paint Color Trend

Are you looking to paint the outside of your home? Do you scour home design magazines to learn what’s trending? Would you like to know the colors that designers love right now for exterior paint? In 2023,  the most popular color trend is warm off-white. At a glance, this color may appear to be boring, but when you think about it a little more, choosing this color makes a lot of sense! Consider the following reasons to pay attention to this painting trend for your home’s exterior.

Off-White Is a Favorite Color

Although there are more exciting color trends for home exteriors, they usually come and go pretty quickly. Meanwhile, other trends have a longer lifespan. When you choose one of the temporary options, it can make your home look outdated sooner than you think. On the other hand, creamy off-white tones are timeless! When you select this kind of shade, you don’t have to stress about staying on trend because it always comes back into style.

Off-White Is Easier on the Eyes Than Pure White

When you come out of a building or car, especially during summer, does the sunlight temporarily blind you? Your eyes can struggle to adapt to the harsh lighting for a minute or two, but true-white surfaces reflect sunlight, making this sight transition even more difficult.

When choosing an exterior paint color, you may want to consider how harsh a pure white could be on the eyes. Warm off-white is a good compromise, giving you a light shade that is a little gentler. In other words, you can still have a striking, light color on your home’s exterior with less negative impact in the bright sun.

Off-White Complements More Natural Tones

Whether your home has wood, stone, brick, or another element, it is sure to have something natural on or around it, regardless of its age or style. Additionally, the landscaping often offers more natural colors. Pure white doesn’t occur much in nature—other than flowers; more often, warm off-white works best with natural tones. In fact, compared to gray or pure white, this shade can help your home seem as though it belongs with its surroundings while providing a noticeable, light contrast.

Off-White Fits in with More Styles

On the short list of colors that go with nearly every exterior style or design are all white tones, including off-white. Whether your home is a brand-new build or a fixer upper with a lot of history and character, warm off-white can highlight your home’s best features and charm.

Although you shouldn’t necessarily follow every trend recommended by designers and other homeowners, creamy off-white is a pretty safe bet. This is one color choice that’s easy to make and will keep you happy for many years!
