At Absolute Painting & Power Washing we have seen many color trends come and go over the last 30+ years. Twenty years ago we saw many bold dark colors being used and many colors and accent walls in various rooms in the home. Ten years ago we saw more of the gray and tan colors being used on walls with fewer colors being used in the home.
Recently, lighter colors have taken over and we are painting many different shades of white and off white paint colors on walls. Most homeowners are keeping it simple and only using one or two colors in the entire home. Of course, you have hundreds of different white colors to choose from and it can be hard to decide which is the best for your home.
