Timeless Favorite

Sometimes, a color is hot with designers, but it can quickly fall out of favor just as quickly as it rose in popularity. The good thing about warm, off-white tones is that they are pretty much a constant favorite. A few years down the road, you don’t have to worry about the color looking outdated. In other words, this color will likely continue to be popular with homeowners and designers alike years into the future.

Less Harsh Than Purer Whites

After being indoors or in the car for a while, the sun can be blinding when you first step outside. However, the light can be particularly harsh on the eyes when it reflects off true-white surfaces.

Compared to other colors, warm, off-white tones are still bright, but they are easier than to look at than lighter whites. To put it a different way, you can still enjoy having a light, softer alternate color on the outside of your home that doesn’t hurt your eyes!

More Complementary to Natural Tones

No matter how old your home is or its style, it probably has some natural elements on it—brick, wood, stone, or something similar. In addition, most homes have landscaping including flowers, plants, and trees. Overall, warm off-white complements plenty of colors found in nature, more so than gray or even pure white. What ends up happening is that your property simultaneously stands out yet seems to belong perfectly in its surroundings.

Better Fit for More Styles

White tones are extremely versatile, and off-white is no different. Nearly every possible design, age, and façade style for the exterior of a home works with this color! Whether you have a brand-new, modern build or an older home with more classic style, warm off-white can give you a crisp, clean finish or bring out your home’s charm and character.

Although not every exterior trend from designers in magazines or TV shows is a good idea, selecting off-white for your house is a safe one to follow. In 2023, love coming home to your beautifully painted exterior!
