Select These Off-White Paint Options for A Neutral Room
Over the past several years, neutral tones have been a popular choice for many homeowners looking to create a baseline of style in their homes. Over the years, different trends come and go, which is why selecting a neutral color for most of the painted surfaces in your home is a great design tactic—allowing you to alter accent colors, furnishings, and finishes to update the space as you see fit.
One of the many benefits of a neutral color palette is versatility. Neutral colors work well with traditional, modern, and contemporary design styles—from mid-century modern to shabby chic. A secondary benefit is that neutral colors offer a calming aesthetic, making them perfect for creating a tranquil interior.
Off-white is one of the more popular neutral colors as it acts as a soft, confident backdrop for your furnishings, décor, and art. At Supershade South in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, we have a vast selection of Benjamin Moore paint in off-white hues. Read on as our team is here to share several of our favorite off-white color choices, including a few creative applications for how to use this selection of colors.
Off-White Paint Colors for a Neutral Aesthetic
Off-white paint colors can run the gamut from light hues that resemble chalk all the way to up to more beige tints that lean closer to brown or yellow than they do a pure white. When selecting a white or off-white color, think about the overall mood and temperature of the color: Does it have a warm or cool undertone? Warm color palettes will have undertones of red and yellow while cooler colors often include shades of blue and purple.
We don’t necessarily recommend pairing warm tones with warm tones and cool tones with cool tones—instead, consider the paint colors and other finishes in your room and how they work in harmony to create a balanced interior design.
When selecting an off-white to include in your space, check out our color catalogue to explore our off-white collection or read on to learn some of our top off-white tones:
- Benjamin Moore Decorator’s White OC-149: is close to pure white with a touch of cool gray. Sleek and stylish—but with enough visual interest to differentiate itself—this tone has a lasting appeal.
- Benjamin Moore White Opulence OC-69: is an off-white with a subtle dash of pink, making it a perfect neutral hue if you’re looking for a near-white tone with a little warmth.
- Benjamin Moore Gray Owl OC-52: is a cool, crisp light gray that you can use practically anywhere.
- Benjamin Moore Linen White OC-146: boasts a touch of cream for a timeless white to create a warm, relaxing, neutral space.
- Benjamin Moore Moonshine OC-56: has cool blue undertones that create a rich neutral background without being overwhelming to the space.

Benjamin Moore White Dove OC-17 Is One of Our Favorite Neutrals
Benjamin Moore White Dove OC-17 is a clean and classic white neutral tone and one of our most popular paint colors. This calming tone establishes a blank canvas with which you can display your art and décor.
If you’re looking for a way to accent
White Dove OC-17 with pops of color, this neutral works well with the following complimentary hues:
- Balboa Mist OC-27: a pale neutral gray twist that adds a gentle warmth to any room.
- Olive Branch 2143-30: a warm, dark khaki with green undertones that add depth.
- Revere Pewter HC-172: blends a hint of soft grey and taupe for a tone that bridges warm and cool colors.
- Blue Note 2129-30: is a faded deep navy. When used with Eggshell, it creates a startling contrast.
Consider using White Dove OC-17 as a singular foundational color for your home paired with one of these complimentary colors.
Choose Finishes From Benjamin Moore Like Eggshell, Matte, Satin, & More
Off-white is a perfect color family for creating a bright, airy space. If you live in an older home, consider the use of off-white on your open front porch. When you’re selecting an off-white for your interiors or trim, choosing the right paint sheen is among one of the most essential steps in your painting project.
- Flat or matte paint finishes have no sheen whatsoever, making them perfect for walls with some surface flaws.
- An eggshell finish has a soft sheen with a subtle reflection. It's easy to wipe down, making it perfect for high-traffic areas.
- Satin delivers a subtle gloss that is stain-resistant and more durable than lower-sheen finishes.
- Semi-gloss is perfect for surfaces that require instant cleanup. It's great for floors, furniture, and trim.
- High gloss is the sheen of choice for a long-lasting, elegant shine. However, the look of high gloss finishes are not a great fit for walls with surface imperfections, as the reflective qualities of the finish will allow pebbling, dents, and nicks in the finish to stand out.
