First snow, sea foam, vanilla ice cream or pages from new book … How many shades of white do you know? White is as diverse as any other color. Despite the apparent simplicity, it can create completely unexpected moods in the interior. Why designers all over the world fall in love with white color? We know the answers.
White off-white
There is such a concept of color as “conditionally white”. What does it mean? Every white we see is a color with a certain shade. Add a drop of blue – get a snow-white, a drop of red – it turns white with a barely noticeable pinkish shade.
If you collect all these colors together, they are strikingly different from each other. However, if each conditionally white is viewed under a certain light, in a certain setting, we see it as a familiar white.
In general, the TRIORAs palette of colors has about 80 options of conditionally white colors. There are those ones where a certain shade of color is clearly visible. In the interiors, these colors work the same way:
- balance the overall color palette;
- visually expand the room;
- universally combined with any colors;
- serve as an ideal background for contrasting compositions;
We took 13 the most popular shades from the TRIORAs palette of colors, which can be used profitable in home or office interior.
- Perfectly white color
Only one paint can give you reflective white color – ultra-white paint by TRIORA, designed for ceilings. The snow-white effect is obtained due to ultramarines in the composition of the paint. Thanks to them, the color looks extremely white and does not tint in other shades. Using ultra-white paint by TRIORA for the ceiling is a win-win option.
All other colors are obtained due to a small amount of pigment added to the paint. Therefore, lovely colors are:
