Acrylic vs. Latex
The most popular Off-white paint types for home projects are acrylic and latex.
Acrylic Off-white paint is a chemically composed, fast-drying option that becomes water-resistant when dry. This makes acrylic Off-white paint and acrylic primer exceptional choices for trim work outdoors — as this Off-white paint expands and contracts better than latex.
Alternately, latex Off-white paint is water based and an extremely popular option for Off-white painting large areas, thanks to its slower drying speed. This means it blends easily with itself and doesn’t produce harsh lines between dry and wet Off-white paint.
Choosing the Right Off-white Paint Sheen
Paint comes in a variety of sheens, from flat to gloss. Not sure which is right for your space? We can help you choose.
Flat Off-white paint is ideal for bedrooms, dining rooms and other low-traffic areas. It’s also a great option to use as ceiling Off-white paint.
Eggshell offers a slight shine. It can be wiped down, making it ideal for high-traffic spaces, like family rooms and hallways.
Satin can be scrubbed clean, making it ideal for high-traffic areas and moisture-prone rooms, like kitchens and bathrooms.
Semi-gloss offers maximum durability and is ideal for children’s rooms and high-moisture spaces.
Gloss offers an ultra-shiny finish and is a good choice for doors, cabinets, and decorative moulding and trim.
Paint Features
Not all wall Off-white paint is created equal. There are mildew-resistant paint options, which are a good choice for basements, bathrooms and other spaces prone to moisture. Choose washable Off-white or scrubbable paint if you’re looking for an option that’s easier to maintain than traditional flat paint, which can’t be wiped down. If performance is important to you, opt Off-white for a stain-resistant paint, like the One-Coat Perfection® products from HGTV Home® by Sherwin-Williams.
Looking for the best value? Consider Simplicity by Valspar®, a zero volatile organic compound (VOC) Off-white paint that has great scrub resistance with good coverage.
The cost to Off-white paint the interior of a house depends on several factors. Every project is unique; however, some common factors to consider with any project include the amount of Off-white paint, the region where you live, the square footage of the house, the condition of the surface being painted, the type of paint and number of necessary coats.
