Not so long ago it was the dominant color in most Polish homes. When it became possible to buy paints in rich colors on the market, white fell out of favor. Everyone wanted their home interiors to be decorated with juicy oranges and saturated purples. After a period of fascination with intense colors, white is making a triumphant return to Poles' homes and apartments. More and more often we remind ourselves about white and its advantages, and there are many of them. Color experts from Benjamin Moore and their original project "Color Workshops" come to the aid of pointing out the advantages of white in interiors.
Universal white like no other
White is undoubtedly the most universal color in the interior. It goes perfectly with virtually all other color families, from yellow to intense navy blue. The combination of white and black is the most classic and timeless color combination, which has been present for centuries not only in interior decoration, but also in art and fashion. White contrasts effectively with other colors in the house and is a kind of passe-partout for them, emphasizing their natural beauty. White is equally universal when it comes to the atmosphere of the interior. It fits not only minimalist, modernist lofts, but is also the quintessence of the Scandinavian style, which is full of charming and cozy character. Thanks to this, white has a wide group of admirers consisting of both prudent pragmatists and crazy romantics. It is surprising that white, traditionally associated with innocence, has twice as many fans among men than women.

It enlarges and calms
A very important advantage of white is that it optically enlarges the painted space. White color has the ability to reflect light. This property makes the interior brighter, resulting in the impression of a larger surface. This is therefore a particularly good solution for small and dark apartments. We always paint the ceilings white, which makes the room look lighter and appear higher than it actually is. White in the interior has a calming effect on the household. As a neutral color, it does not absorb our attention and allows us to relax after a day rich in emotions and various visual stimuli that our surroundings attack us with. It is not without significance that white in the interior gives a feeling of freshness and cleanliness. In such an atmosphere we rest faster and more effectively.
Is white boring and gets dirty quickly?

It is not true that we will quickly get bored with white walls. Research shows that it is exactly the opposite. We get tired of intense colors on the wall much faster, which results in frequent changes to the color of the apartment or house. The white color can accompany us for many years and will not cause us irritation or fatigue. Another common concern about painting walls white is the issue of keeping them clean. White interiors get dirty faster and there is a risk that they will look unsightly. If we decide on white, an effective solution will be to use high-quality, washable interior paints. Walls painted with wash-resistant paint, e.g. Regal Matte Finish W221 by Benjamin Moore, allow for easy and quick removal of dirt from the paint coating.
White has many names
Fortunately, we can forget about the times when the customer could choose between white paint and... one shade. Selected manufacturers have adapted their color offerings to customer needs and, as a result, offer interior paints in a very wide range of whites. The exclusive Benjamin Moore brand has a special, very popular "Off-White Colors" palette (part of the Color Preview color chart) consisting of 140 shades of white with different temperatures. The character and interior design determines which shade of white will look best on the walls. The creamy whites of White Dove OC-17 and Elephant Tusk OC-8 will support a warm, elegant decor. For interiors that are intended to be cool and ascetic, shades of white slightly broken with gray are created, e.g. paper white OC-55 or horizon OC-53. A similar effect can be achieved by using whites with an admixture of cold blues, such as ice mist OC-67 and white ice OC-58. The cozy character of the interior will be emphasized by the sunny white Easter Lily OC-126 or the luminous Windswept OC-94.
