"Dark white" is the new color trend that we think might replace warm neutrals for more expensive-looking homes

When it comes to painting your walls, white is undoubtedly one of the world’s favorite colors but this forever-favored hue is evolving. We may have seen warm off-whites sitting on the throne when it comes to neutrals, but ‘Dark White’ is a newly crowned king for interior designers and architects, offering all the light and reflection of its pure predecessor but with an albeit moodier temperament. 

This is down to its cool undertone, which comes from marrying the slightest hint of grey with pure white. Not only does this color trend give the shade a more sophisticated finish, but it also helps your walls feel less stark and sterile. The new hue offers the perfect equilibrium for those seeking a color that works well with other tones but doesn’t conform to tradition. We spoke to interior designers and color experts to see how they bring the best of ‘Dark White’ to their designs. Through these examples, they shared their thoughts on the crisp and clean hue and how it can work to elevate your interiors.
