Why White Is the Ultimate Pop of Color

Forget bursts of orange or splashes of turquoise. Pure white can break up patterns, soften bold decor and a whole lot more

Many people think of an accent color as being a bright, bold shade that they wouldn’t dare use in a larger amount. But in my opinion, one of the most effective colors to use for contrast isn’t even a true hue but a combination of all of them: pure, radiant white. Using dollops of white, you can add drama to grays, break up patterns and dark colors, soften bold decor and more. Here’s how this noncolor color manages to pop in a big way, and why you should consider introducing fresh yet timeless white into your interior color scheme.
