6 Trending Neutral Colors for a Modern Farmhouse Palette
There are six trending colors that are especially popular right now in the modern farmhouse color scheme. While I love Sherwin Williams and Benjamin Moore paints, these paints are strictly Sherwin Williams. First, let me share a hot designer tip when it comes to these neutral interior paint colors.
LRV Tip
LRV stands for the Light Reflectance Value within each paint color. It the measure of how much light is reflected by a surface. The LRV is typically expressed as a percentage, ranging from 0% (completely absorbs all light, appearing black) to 100% (completely reflects all light, appearing white). Darker colors will typically be in the lower percentage because most of the light is absorbed.
This number is used in various industries, but most especially in architecture and interior design to determine the lightness or darkness of a color. It helps designers and architects choose the right paint colors that provide appropriate contrast and brightness in different lighting conditions.
Here are our LRV numbers for these trending choices:
- Silver Strand - Sherwin Williams SW 7057 LRV 59
- Reserved White - Sherwin Williams SW 7056 LRV 74
- Peppercorn - Sherwin Williams SW 7674 LRV 10
- Oyster White - Sherwin Williams SW 7637 LRV 72
- Snowbound - Sherwin Williams SW 7004 LRV: 83
- Kryton - Sherwin Williams SW 6247 LRV: 52
Snowbound - A Classic White
For a serene and sophisticated look, Snowbound by Sherwin Williams is an excellent choice. This crisp clean color is a good option that can work well for both warm and cool color schemes. It is a soft white that can be paired with other whites or with gray or beige undertones.
I love this soft white in my dining room and kitchen area. It is also in my living room and family room areas. This color is the perfect balance and can sway to a more elegant trend or a casual look.
Silver Strand for Your Farmhouse Color Palette
Silver Strand is a lovely choice for creating a serene and sophisticated look. An elegant gray, this hue pays homage to cool tones with a hint of blue to bring a calming and airy feel to your space. What more can you ask for than creating a tranquil atmosphere that's perfect for unwinding after a long day.
Silver Strand is an appealing choice that finds a good balance of light and dark within the paint surface. It is the perfect paint color option for a bedroom or an elegant bathroom. On the other hand, if you're looking for a more traditional and elegant choice, Reserved White might be a better option for your modern farmhouse paint palette.
Reserved White - Sophisticated and Elegant
Reserved White is a great color that offers a timeless and elegant choice for those looking to elevate their modern farmhouse style. This bright white has slightly green undertones within its crisp and clean appearance.
This white exudes sophistication and grace, making it a versatile option for any room in your home. Its neutral tone pairs well with a variety of decor styles, from traditional to modern.
Peppercorn - A Bold Color
Peppercorn is a bold and modern warm gray paint that can add a touch of drama and sophistication to your farmhouse interior. With its deep and rich hue, Peppercorn creates a statement in any room, making it a perfect choice for those looking to make a bold design statement.
I love using Peppercorn for an accent wall or ceiling. Or even on a piece of furniture like my clock. It's a great way to add pops of color that are still neutral and create a focal point. You can see how I added it to my fireplace accent wall in my living room, or how I used it in Little Buddy's bedroom ceiling design.
Its versatility allows it to blend seamlessly with both traditional and contemporary decor, adding depth and warmth to your space. If you love shades of gray, take a look at these most popular Sherwin Gray paint choices.
Oyster White - A Neutral Option for a Cozy Feel
For those seeking a soft and neutral option to create a cozy feel in their farmhouse color palette, Oyster White is an ideal color choice. This subtle and calming shade is optimal for creating a serene and inviting atmosphere in any room.
When choosing our exterior off-white paint color, I wanted something soft, not to light or dark. But also that wouldn't look too yellow. I spent a lot of time going back and forth between colors. I am glad I went with Oyster White. It is the perfect blend of creamy and bright for this modern farmhouse look. It ties in well with my soft black trim colors and black windows.
Oyster White pairs well with both light and dark design elements, making it a versatile option for those looking to create a timeless and elegant space. Its gentle hue can help to brighten up a room while still offering a sense of warmth and comfort.
Krypton - Rich and Moody Dark Blue-Green
Krypton is a bold paint color choice for those looking to add a touch of drama to their farmhouse interior and home decor. Different colors like this one are rich and moody. This dark blue-green exudes a sense of depth and mystery in current trends, making it ideal for creating a statement wall or accent piece.
The deep tones of Krypton can help create a cozy and intimate atmosphere in any room, while also providing a fresh feel that is luxurious. Pair Krypton with metallic accents or rich textures to enhance its dramatic effect and create a space that truly stands out. As you consider your farmhouse paint options, don't overlook the potential impact of Krypton - a color that can truly transform your space.
