According to Hello Paint’s top-sellers, the three most popular paint colours in Canada are all different shades of white by Benjamin Moore.
As the Benjamin Moore website explains, Chantilly Lace is described as a “classic go-to white that elicits images of fresh cotton and pure silk,” White Dove is more of a “clean and classic white.” Meanwhile, Simply White is another crisp white colour with “the slightest hint of warmth.”
Warmer Neutrals
Although these three white colours are still best-sellers, there have been some new changes in the popularity of other neutral paint colour samples.
“We’re definitely seeing trends moving towards more warm beige colours overall and far fewer shades of grays,” says Tara Boudreau, the CEO and founder of Hello Paint.
Nate Berkus and Jeremiah Brent also feel the same about warm beige paint colours in 2023.
More About Hello Paint
Hello Paint, a family-owned business located outside Regina, Saskatchewan, was created when Tara realized how limiting conventional-sized paint chip samples were. “We also own a millwork and cabinetry company and felt the need for larger paint samples within our own business. So we created Hello Paint to fix the issue with colour samples being too small for selecting cabinetry colours,” Tara explains.
The peel-and-stick paint sample company currently has around 3000 distinct colours in its inventory from brands like Benjamin Moore and Sherwin Williams and a few exclusive collections from BeautiTone.
Since Hello Paint’s peel-and-stick sample tiles are 12 inches by 10.25 inches, it gives you a clear idea of how the paint colour would look in each area of your home. Each reusable peel-and-stick tile includes the name of the paint colour and its company, making it easy to stay organized while searching for that perfect shade.
