Q: Hi Cathy! We are thinking about painting our house and wonder what paint colors are in style right now. Can you please recommend a color? I'm thinking about going gray.
A: Well...every house has its own personality and features which drive paint color selection so we rarely have a quick answer to this question. Also, grays definitely need to be carefully selected--some are more brown, some more blue--and a careful evaluation of the house, furnishings, other elements in a room should happen before deciding on the right shade of any color.
That being said, we are loving white walls with pops of color right now. After falling out of fashion in the early 2000s, white is back and feels fresh and clean. Paired with pops of color on accent walls or vanities and cabinets, white can feel especially modern and cool. One of our favorite whites is Benjamin Moore's White Dove OC-17. In the pictures above, it was used on both the walls and trim.
