Eggshell Paint Shades and Uses
One of the best ways to spruce up your home is to update your walls with a fresh coat of paint. It is an inexpensive, relatively easy, and fun way to give your space a new look! If you are planning to update your home’s wall colors, chances are you want at least one of the rooms to have a neutral, pleasant shade of off-white. This color is typically called eggshell, and refers to any not-quite-white shade of paint that goes with anything!
There are so many shades of eggshell that it can be overwhelming to choose one to fit your home’s needs. Below, we will break down different eggshell paint shades and offer the paint color and shade from Vistapaint’s color palette.
What is Eggshell?
Eggshell paint is one of the most common types of paint. This type of shade is neutral, low-sheen, and understated. It resembles the color of a chicken egg, hence the name eggshell! Eggshell paint is perfect for entryways, hallways, living rooms, and breezeways. It acts as a sort of blank canvas, meaning the rest of your decor will seamlessly blend with the neutral color of the walls. If you don’t want the color of your wall to be the main feature of a room, eggshell is a fantastic color to choose.
Eggshell Shades
Eggshell paint is a family of paint shades. Within this broad category, there is some variation in the exact shade. The main difference will be the undertone of the paint color. There can be eggshell paint colors with brown, yellow, blue, and gray undertones, just to name a few. Let’s take a look at some eggshell shades from Vistapaint:
