The Best Whole House Paint Colors (2022)

3.0K shares

Learn why choosing a whole house paint color can have a dramatic effect on the flow of your home, as well as what are the most popular whole house paint colors in 2022.

Choosing just one or two colors for your whole house can seem like a daunting decision. After all, whether you’re DIYing or hiring out, a lot of time and effort will have to be put into the task of painting.

Having gone the whole house paint color route when we moved into our current house, I’ve learned what types of colors work well with a variety of finishes, decorating styles and over all taste.

Conversely, I’ve learned from past mistakes, too. In our first house, I painted every room a different color… and it wasn’t a good look!

Setting the scene in your home with the right whole house color palette will mean that the paint color can serve as the perfect backdrop for the other elements in your home to really shine.

Before getting into the nitty gritty of selecting your perfect paint color for your home, take a minute to decide if you want to pick one color for every single space, or if your idea of a whole house paint color is one color for all the open spaces, such as kitchen, dining room and living room, and then a coordinating color palette for the bedroom, bathrooms and other spaces.

While the former is the easier route to go, the latter will still give you that same sense of flow but will add more contrast as you walk room to room.

Before Choosing a Paint Color

If you are painting your home before moving in, you may not quite yet understand how the light affects each individual room in your home. This can become a huge issue down the road if you pick the wrong color.

For instance, if you choose what you think is the perfect warm gray paint color for all the open plan spaces in your home, but only see the paint swatch first thing in the afternoon, you may be not so pleasantly surprised to see that same color looks baby blue first thing in the morning.

Room exposure (whether the room is north, south, east or west facing) can have a dramatic impact on bringing a paint color’s undertones to the fore.

If you can’t be in the house to see how the color changes and reacts throughout the day, it’s important to choose a paint color with as minimal undertones as possible (and that’s where I come in to help you!).

Undertones To Avoid

As a general rule, I usually recommend avoiding strong blue and yellow undertones when choosing a whole house paint color.

Blue can make spaces feel cold and drab, and while a drop of yellow can be a great way to warm up sterile whites, too much is usually not what most people want to see in their perfect paint color.

Don’t get me wrong – some of my favorite paint colors of all time have a strong blue undertone. They just aren’t colors I would rely on to work as a whole house color.

Blue undertoned paints are however perfect for bedrooms, bathrooms and any other space that’s closed behind a door – or where you know exactly how the lighting will affect the color.

Popular Colors For a Whole House

By far the safest colors to choose for a whole house are neutral paint colors or shades of white.

Both neutrals and whites come with their own set of challenges, of course. Figuring out the dominant undertone is always the main concern.

For this reason, I like to stick with warmer neutrals and warmer whites.

This way, any cool light will be offset by the warmer tones, and warmer lighting won’t completely wash out the color.

Neutral Colors That Are Great Choices

Sherwin Williams Repose Gray

This is my all-time favorite paint color because it just works everywhere! My entire main floor was originally painted Repose Gray, and I’ve since repainted and had the color lightened by 50%.

Repose Gray lightened by 50% with SW Pure White wainscoting.

I am beyond obsessed with how light and bright it makes every room feel. It’s the perfect neutral backdrop with just enough warmth that no room ever feels cold.

While Repose Gray technically has a green/taupe undertone, I’ve found it to be barely visible. At full strength, you may see the green pull out of the shadows a bit, but nothing concerning at all.

Repose Gray lightened by 50%

At half strength (lightened by 50%) those same undertones are what keeps just enough warmth in the color, but no longer become apparent under any lighting conditions (that I’ve at least seen!).

The great thing about Repose Gray works well with a lot of different accent colors and furniture colors. I’ve seen it with light wood and dark wood. Accent colors of beige, blue, green and white look beautiful against it.

Repose Gray lightened by 50%. This kitchen gets both east and west facing light. The photo was taken at midday with the sun overhead so that you can see the darkest shadows of the color in the top right hand corner. Island color is BM Boothbay Gray and wainscoting/trim is SW Pure White.

Other shades that work well with Repose Gray: Both SW Mindful Gray, SW Chelsea Gray would both make for good contrasting colors on an accent wall next to Repose Gray.

Sherwin Williams Agreeable Gray

Agreeable Gray is another incredibly popular greige paint color. It’s similar in tone to Repose Gray, but significantly warmer. I like this color because it can read warmer or cooler depending on the light. Sometimes it looks more gray, other times it’s definitely a greige.

Benjamin Moore Paper White

Similar in terms of depth of color to Repose Gray at half strength, Benjamin Moore’s Paper White is my go-to for east and west facing rooms, where you have warm light half the day and cooler light the other half.

Benjamin Moore Paper White

Despite the name, Paper White is a very light dove gray with just a hint of green that ensures it never looks cold. Paired with bright white trim, it makes for an excellent whole house color.

As close in color as it is to the lightened version of Repose Gray, I find that it maintains its light and bright color more in poorly lit rooms. If you remember back to the shadows in my kitchen (pictured above), Paper White will never look that warm or saturated.

Benjamin Moore Classic Gray

If gray is less your style and you want a warmer neutral, Classic Gray is an excellent choice. It’s considerably warmer than the other colors mentioned above, but still has just enough gray to stop it being too warm.

Like Agreeable Gray, Classic Gray can be a bit of a chameleon and look warmer or cooler depending on the available light. In the above picture, you can see how light and bright it is the dining with tons of natural light.

In a lower light room, there will be more saturation to the color.

I personally love this aspect of the color, since it feels like you have different shades when in fact it’s the same paint color the entire time!

White Colors That Are Great Choices

Sherwin Williams Pure White

SW Pure White is one of the safest white paint colors out there. It’s a lovely bright white color, with just the tiniest bit of warmth to stop it ever feeling stark.

SW Pure White walls and baseboard

It works just as well on walls as it does on trim and will give you the appearance of a clean white without having to worry about any funky undertones rearing their ugly heads!

Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace

This is Benjamin Moore’s brightest white, so if you want a really bright crisp white, then Chantilly Lace is the right color for you.

There’s no apparent undertones in this bright white, but it will take on colors from the environment surrounding it. So keep that in mind!

Benjamin Moore White Dove

I absolutely adore White Dove as a whole house white. It has a lovely creamy softness to it, and works really well in north facing rooms where white paint can look dull and flat.

If you have other bright whites, White Dove will look considerably creamier next to them, but not in a yellow way, just in a really soft warm way.

Sherwin Williams Shoji White

Shoji White has become really popular in the past year, and for good reason. If you can’t decide between a greige or a creamier shade, then Shoji White may be perfect for you.

What’s The Right Paint Color For Trim Work?

If you’re sticking with classic white trim, then you’ll want one shade of white for all the trim work, doors, moldings and casings in your home.

If you chose a bright white paint color for your wall (like Pure White or Chantilly Lace) you’re going to want to use that same color for the trim, but in a different sheen. Usually, we do a washable matte sheen or eggshell on walls, and then satin or semi-gloss for all the trim.

Both SW Pure White and BM Chantilly Lace are great white trim colors if you chose a greige or other neutral for your walls, too. Pure White is always a safe bet, as it has a slight warm undertone so it works well with these warmer colors

Chantilly Lace is a brighter white that really adds serious contrast. Other bright whites that are great for trim would be SW Extra White, SW High Reflective White.

If you want a creamier white for your trim then BM White Dove is a beautiful choice.

BM Simply White is also another popular choice, though it has a sneaky yellow undertone so I would only use it in a semi-gloss finish to offset that.

Simply White Trim and Walls. Notice how the walls (painted in a matte finish) are very creamy compared to the trim. Artificial light further heightens the yellow undertone.

I personally would not use it as a whole-house white because it can look very yellow in certain lighting conditions, most notably artificial light.

BM Simply White Walls in semi-gloss sheen

But when it works, it really works and is a beautiful warmer white!

If you’re looking for another way to inject some personality into your home, doing contrasting trim is also another idea. Especially when paired with white walls, a warm gray trim can really elevate the look of a home. 

Tip: If you're planning on tackling all the trim yourself, be sure to read my best tips for Painting Walls and Trim Like a Pro.

When To Deviate From The Whole House Color Scheme

Don’t be afraid to add an accent wall in another color, or go crazy in a powder room.

The idea of choosing one color for your whole house is to simplify the process of bringing in other colors, and to make your home feel cohesive and not at all disjointed.

As long as you have an overall cohesive color scheme, adding a pop of color will be a welcome addition and stop your home from feeling like a sea of boring neutral.

20 of the Best Paint Colors for the Whole House – Welsh Design Studio

Skip to content

Let me just start by saying that I’m a strong advocate for using different paint colors in different rooms of your home. Paint is one of the best and easiest ways to add personality to a space, and bring together the design elements in a room. However, there is always going to be a need for that perfect, neutral base color that ties together the hallways and other main areas of the house with surrounding rooms. Or, perhaps you’ve got a rental property, and just want to paint every room in the house a neutral shade that will work with any style and appeal to tenants. So, what are the best paint colors for the whole house? I’ve complied a list of 20 go-to, neutral shades that designers swear by, and should be at the top of  your list of colors to try for your house color palette.

White walls are making a comeback in a big way right now, and are very much on-trend this year. Pair soft white walls with contrasting black windows/doors, and lots of natural wood for a stunning and stylish room design. You’ll see several of my favorite whites for the whole-house listed here, but check out my post on the best white paint colors for interiors for more great options.

1. Benjamin Moore Swiss Coffee (OC-45)

Swiss Coffee is a true classic that has been a designer favorite for years. It is a beautiful, warm, creamy hue that is versatile, tranquil, and works great with earthy colors. Order a peel-and-stick sample sheet of BM Swiss Coffee HERE

2. Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace (OC-65)

Chantilly Lace is a crisp, pure white with subtle cool undertones. If you want to create a bright white space, this is a great paint to try. Also works well for trim and ceilings. Order your sample of Chantilly Lace HERE.

3. Sherwin Williams Alabaster (SW 7008)

Alabaster was Sherwin-Williams’ 2016 Color of the Year, and there’s no doubt it has become a favorite white for designers. My girl Joanna Gaines used this color to paint the main areas of her own house, and it is one of her go-to whites for walls and shiplap. Alabaster is a warm white and brings a serene softness to any room. Want to learn more about Alabaster…check out this post. Order a sample of SW Alabaster HERE.

4. Benjamin Moore Paper White (OC-55)

Paper White is a very pale gray that can actually look white in certain light. If you’re looking for a very pale gray, this is a great paint choice to lighten and brighten your space. Paper White leans toward the cool side, but has a nice softness to it. I love it paired with bright white trim, and it also tends to work well with Carrara marble in bathrooms and kitchens.  Order a sample of BM Paper White HERE.

Greige is just a blend of gray and beige. It can be the best of both worlds, appealing to those that like the look of gray, but aren’t sure about moving away from the more traditional feeling of beige. Greiges make a great whole-house paint color choice because they tend to go with everything and appeal to everyone! Here are some beautiful greiges for your home.

5. Benjamin Moore Revere Pewter (HC-172)

Probably the most beloved greige paint color out there, it’s no wonder designers love Revere Pewter. It has just the right mix of gray and beige to satisfy almost everyone, and it works with pretty much every style. This is a fantastic choice for open floor plans, and is a paint color I recommend often to my clients for the whole-house and/or main living areas. In well-lit spaces, Revere Pewter will give you the gray appearance you are looking for, but warm up nicely in the evenings to create a cozy feeling. Order a peel-and-stick sample sheet of BM Revere Pewter HERE

6.

Sherwin Williams Colonnade Gray (SW 7641)

Colonnade Gray is another favorite, and happens to be the whole-house paint color we chose for our Colorado home. It is sometimes referred to as the Sherwin Williams version of Benjamin Moore’s Revere Pewter, and it’s true that they are very close in depth, warmth, and tone. So close, in fact, you could consider them twins. However, some report that Colonnade Gray is just a touch more neutral, in that it won’t take on any of the taupe or green undertones that are sometimes seen with Revere Pewter. Regardless, Colonnade Gray is another fantastic medium greige that works beautifully in all different lighting conditions, and with any design style. Order a peel-and-stick sample sheet of SW Colonnade Gray HERE

7. Benjamin Moore Balboa Mist (OC-27)

Balboa Mist is a beautiful light greige with a faint, hardly-noticeable purple undertone, and is one of Benjamin Moore’s most popular neutral colors. Its soft, elegant undertone gives it a chameleon quality, such that the color changes slightly during the day, and in different types of lighting. The overall color is a light, neutral gray, with a relaxing, warm vibe. Due to its tendency to shift, this is one color that should be thoroughly tested on your wall in different lighting conditions before committing.

8. Sherwin Williams Agreeable Gray (SW 7029)

Agreeable Gray is one color that everyone seems to agree is a perfectly balanced greige paint. Not too dark or too light, it’s a great choice for every room in the house. Unlike some other greige paints, Agreeable Gray has no detectable taupe or purple undertones. It has become a favorite in the interior design world, and is one that designers everywhere wholeheartedly recommend. You can read more about Agreeable Gray in my post here. Order a peel-and-stick sample sheet of SW Agreeable Gray HERE

9. Benjamin Moore Edgecomb Gray (HC-173)

Edgecomb Gray is a lovely, soft greige that leans a little more to the beige side than others in this category. This color will appear light gray in rooms with good natural light, but appear more like a creamy beige in warm lighting. It has an understated, classic, and reserved nature, which is why it pairs so well with a wide range of natural materials like wood, stone, and granite. Order a peel-and-stick sample sheet of BM Edgecomb Gray HERE

Image Source: Young House Love

Over the last decade, gray overtook beige to became the most popular wall color for every room in the house. Grays are very flexible, offering a fantastic neutral backdrop for a wide range of design styles. For a whole-house color, I recommend going with a warm or neutral light-medium gray, and I’ve rounded up some great options for you.

10. Benjamin Moore Classic Gray (OC-23)

A minimal, barely-there gray that almost reads white. This is a great choice if you just want to add the slightest contrast against white trim, but want your overall look to be very light and bright. Classic Gray is a great option for dark spaces that don’t get a lot of natural light. and it has a slight warmth to it, which might not appeal to someone looking for a darker, true gray. Order a peel-and-stick sample sheet of BM Classic Gray HERE

11. SW Repose Gray (SW 7015)

Repose Gray is an excellent light-medium gray paint, that is not too dark or heavy, and is often described as the “perfect gray color.”  It looks fantastic against pure white trim, and is a great whole-house choice for those of you who are looking for something that looks like a true gray. Order a peel-and-stick sample sheet of SW Repose Gray HERE

12. Benjamin Moore Silver Chain (BM 1472)

Possibly one of the truest grays out there, Silver Chain has no apparent purple or blue/green undertones. While all grays have slight undertones, this is one that stays gray on the walls in almost any lighting. Its medium value (lightness versus darkness) creates a beautiful contrast against white trim or cabinetry, and its neutral nature lets it work with any design style. Order a peel-and-stick sample sheet of BM Silver Chain HERE

13. Benjamin Moore Stonington Gray (HC-170)

Ask any designer, and it’s likely they know all about Stonington Gray. Part of Benjamin Moore’s historic color collection, Stonington Gray is a timeless color that works in both traditional and more contemporary homes. This light gray has a slight blue undertone, which means that it can read a tad blue in some light, but it isn’t a cold gray. Works great with cool tones often seen in marble, Order a peel-and-stick sample sheet of BM Stonington Gray HERE

14. Benjamin Moore Gray Owl (OC-52)

Gray Owl is always on my list of gray paints to recommend to clients, and it’s a color you’ll find over and over again in photos of designer rooms. Gray Owl is considered to be a true gray, but it has subtle blue/green undertones. Because of this, it can look VERY different from one room to another, so it’s important to test this one out in a variety of lighting conditions. Order a peel-and-stick sample sheet of BM Gray Owl HERE

15. Benjamin Moore Moonshine (OC-56)

Moonshine has quickly become a Benjamin Moore bestseller. It is a pale gray with green undertones, and looks beautiful when paired with soft blues and greens, so it’s often used in bedrooms. However, Moonshine’s etherial nature and ability to add subtle color without competing for your attention makes it a great choice for the entire house. Order a peel-and-stick sample sheet of BM Moonshine HERE

Even though gray has become today’s neutral color of choice, beige will always remain a timeless classic. Its ability to work in a variety of rooms, and warm up a space, makes it a perfect choice for a whole-house neutral.

16. Sherwin Williams Kilim Beige (SW 6106)

Back when beige ruled the world, Kilim Beige was king. Kilim Beige is a very warm, comfortable beige that has been a top seller for Sherwin Williams for many years. If you love beige, and want the feel of a cozy space, this is a great choice for you! It looks fantastic with rich wood tones, soft blue/greens, and natural stone.

17. Benjamin Moore Manchester Tan (HC-81)

Manchester Tan is a light, sandy beige that is neutral enough to work well throughout the house. It’s a favorite amongst designers due to its flexible, casual nature and ability to play well with others. With just a touch of gray in it, it pairs very well with other grays in the home, like stainless steel and stone, and it looks beautiful with a wide variety of wood tones. Order a peel-and-stick sample sheet of BM Manchester Tan HERE

18. Sherwin Williams Accessible Beige (SW 7036)

A whole-house color should be versatile, which describes Accessible Beige to a tee. At the top of the list for Pottery Barn neutrals, Accessible Beige provides a great backdrop as a balanced, warm neutral color. Beige, yes, but with enough gray to keep it subtle and flexible for any room in the house. Accessible Beige is gorgeous in spaces with lots of natural light, and provides a warm elegance in the evenings. A great choice for modernizing your home, without entering into the greige/gray realm.

The color of a warm home

Every day a modern person sees colors bright and subdued, warm and cold, dark and light. It is the color that evokes different feelings and associations in people. The use of colors in the interior can not only enlarge or reduce the room, make it visually warmer or cooler, but also create some pleasant associations and interesting color patterns. The most popular interior colors used for home decoration are warm, natural colors, various shades of brown, beige, terracotta. nine0003

So, brown is one of the most “serious” colors, strongly associated with protection, safety, and family. The basis of these associations is tree trunks, which for a long time provided shelter and shelter for primitive people. Brown is also the color of sweet tooth, coffee and chocolate lovers. Pleasant associations associated with eating brown shades appear in the head literally by themselves. To the mentioned coffee and chocolate, hints of cocoa, burnt sugar, warm pie with a crispy crust and even baked meat are added. And along with these associations, the corresponding aromas seem to appear in the air, which, by the way, can be created with the help of fragrant candles, sachets and simply by preparing something tasty. nine0003

Furniture, made in various shades of brown, has long been a permanent hit and continues to be popular due to such color characteristics as warmth, comfort, depth and the "non-staining" that Russians love.

A whitened variation of brown - beige - another hit in the interior. This is a lighter, but no less cozy and tasty shade. Furniture of this color will probably be more branded compared to brown, but visually it will seem lighter and more elegant. nine0003

There is another shade of brown - terracotta. The color of fired clay, tiled roofs, reddish brown. This color is perhaps less popular than beige and brown, but its brightness evokes thoughts about the sun, summer, southern countries and creates an appropriate psychological mood. What is it for? The interior, made using terracotta shades, will add sun even to the darkest room.

Pure warm colors are rarely used. The fact is that they are able to invigorate and saturate with energy. Perhaps this is why a person, on an intuitive level, adds these shades to his life in a dosed and cautious manner. For example, red is associated with danger, making it an excellent eye-catcher. Red accessories are often used in the interior to soften cold shades and accentuate pure white. nine0003

Yellow and orange are the colors of the sun and light. These colors invigorate, give positive emotions and even stimulate appetite. However, yellow or orange walls can provoke overexcitation, it’s simply impossible to relax in such a bright house, which is why yellow and orange are most often used as accent spots in calmer interior colors.

It should be noted that it is easiest to combine warm shades with cold ones. For example, in a brown-beige interior, make accents with blue-green colors, and include bright spots of yellow, red and orange in a monochrome (black and white) or gray interior. nine0003

Tekstil Plus Company Offers a wide range of upholstery fabrics and artificial leathers in various shades of warm colors. Creating coziness and warmth in the house with our materials is easy and simple, just choose what you like.
