BEHR PAINT COLOR OF THE YEAR 2023

It's here!! The first 2023 PAINT COLOR OF THE YEAR has been announced by BEHR PAINT and it is SHOCKING!! (So NOT CLICKBAIT!)
I look forward to this day every single year! Each Fall the paint companies announce the color of the year for the upcoming year and I admit, I hold my breath while they make the announcement. This year BEHR is the first to announce their new color and I could not be more pleased with their choice of Blank Canvas. The color is a perfect warm white and will work for both the exterior and interior of the home. I could see myself using this in a dining room, living room, bathroom, bedroom or office... so basically, anywhere! It's a great color to work with and truly versatile. I've already designed a few mood boards that you can use to inspire a new room design.

Although I'm not opposed to anyone using colors on their walls like greens, etc. in their homes, I have always opted to stay with white walls. I just find it refreshing and it works with everything. Thanks for your great video once again Valentina, and your infectious positive energy!

[@marlynnek6449]

Me too. I tire of colors too easily. The perfect white can change your life.

[@szilviaschirrmacher5903]

I live in Central Europe, it's normal here to have white walls, I'd say 8 out of 10 homes have white walls, mine too. I combine it with dark grey, wood, black, gold, beige and green plants, I learned these tipps from you, Valentina! The homes here are so much smaller than American standards and white walls make the space look bigger and brighter. The other reason is, when you sell your home the new owner will have a blank canvas and can do their own style. One more reason is that white walls are easy to repair, you don't have to paint the whole wall completely. Financial reasons are that it cost much less to change the accessoires than paint the walls in a new color every few years, if you want to change your style. I think white walls never go out of trend and are literally a blank canvas that you can use the way you want :)

[@lysmykyta1199]

I some times think about group psychology and what happened to American design from the eras when exuberant colors were the style to the present modern industrial style! Our homes are painted and furnished in what I call the office\industrial look! Valentina's home looks very similar to the posh executive offices of my employer company! What happened to our esthetic sensibility when our hospital walls are painted in colors and our homes are painted in white? I watched Downtown Abbey and was astonished at the beautiful the wall colors! I have subscribed to British decorating magazines where there still is use of color besides shades of white! I did not want to come home are stare during my prescious free time at the same colors and furniture style!

[@sandradinwoodie8245]

Thank you for the painting information. I work in the paint dept at a Home Depot. I love teaching people howto use the ultra pure white card under the color card they are looking at in order to see the color better and the dreaded undertone. I would like to learn more but at this point it is only through customer feed back. Thank you again

[@laurancurtis5669]

Sandra, that is an idea I had never thought of before. Thank you, I love it!

[@s.wilson2702]

Sandra's Dinwoodie...Is Blank Canvas a NEW color for Behr? I'm thinking it is as I have been looking at alot of Behr whites such as Shoelace, Cotton Knit and others but I can't recall having a color chip for Blank Canvas. I know she said it was Color of the Year but I didnt catch it if she said it was actually a new addition to the Behr white family. Regardless, it sounds like a good one. Thx!

[@teresaroedersheimer7436]

I’m literally painting my living room this color as we speak!! It’s absolutely beautiful 😍! I chose this color because I’m leaning into the neutral scandi look - thanks to your influence! ❤️

[@soniagutierrez9867]

I’m a busy working mom of two and you’re always a part of my “me” time. That’s huge! That’s how much I love your videos and energy. I had no idea I cared this much about the color of the year lol. Thanks, Valentina!

[@lisahall9226]

Recently had the interior of my home painted with Sherwin Williams Snowdrift. It has made such a difference. Your design expertise helped me come to this choice. It looks great on my 15 ft tall walls in my great room and the other areas as well. Even my posts and beams were painted. I am over the moon with this new look. Thnx so much!

[@lulyb]

We've been debating whether to do a darker accent wall in our all white living room but this video convinced me to stick with the white. Thanks for the video, Valentina! Your excitement for all things home décor is infectious.

[@magnificalux]

Love watching the paint inspo videos for my future home! I'm also Team White! 🤍 and love white sofas too!

[@toosense]

I recently painted my master bathroom BM White Dove and I absolutely LOVE it, very neutral and not yellow. I have a lot of antique oil landscape paintings and they look so pretty with this color background. I’m going to paint the rest of interior off white, so definitely looking into Blank Canvas.

[@MA-bd8ox]

Val thanks for keeping us on top of the trends. I have just remodeled my kitchen in warm white with accents of grey and black, thanks to your influence. I hope we’ll have a House of Valentina color from the paint companies soon!

[@marymarks7046]

All I can say, I love the white on white. Valentina, you are my inspiration to try all white. Always made me nervous. But I love it especial with wood accents and of course faux plants because I don't have enough direct sunlight to make for plants to thrive. Anway, thanks for putting a smile on my face you are a joy. I love to hear and see what you have to share!

[@ChiChi75169]

I painted my office conifer green last year and LOVE it!!! Thank you for another great video Valentina :)

wow i am so happy and surprised, a few months ago i painted my bedroom with ultra white by behr and then 2 weeks ago my dining with same color , i just love neutrals and i think all neutrals are just not boring , its always fresh, classy forever❤️ thanks for the womderful video, i love your house and the wah u have decorated and painted it and also love your outfit, what a beautiful brown, love it❤️

[@mayeighteen2812]

Can’t deal with your outfit 😍 the brown gives me a certain equestrian vibe and I’m so here for it!!!

[@paulapeeler3157]

Thanks for sharing the good news and wonderful tips... I will definitely save this video to my design files🤗

[@marcelladominguez8787]

Valentina, I am so pleased to see white as a color of the year 2023! I don’t usually care about trends but after 10 years of beige SW Kilim Beige , which I loved, I went white. After multiple swatches, I picked SW Shoji White and love it. It is warm, creamy and dreamy. It looks awesome in my open space living/dining room especially since I get a lot of natural light. It is all so beautiful.

[@exquisiteaspirations]

Always love your excitement and energy in all your videos! You've inspired us to paint our entire house Polar Bear white! We did it ourselves and absolutely love it! Previous our walls were Dolphin Gray from Behr for over 10 years, our spaces now feel refreshed, bright and open! We couldn't agree more that Polar Bear is the perfect neutral tone of white. Thanks Valentina! P.S When we were picking up more paint we came across the Behr catalog for Color of the Year then saw this video and was so eager to hear your thoughts! 😊

[@dee7463]

I love that you talk about paint!!! Thank You!

[@susana2007]

Love their color choice!!!! Couldn't stand the greens last year or the idea of bringing boring beige back.....we have had so much of it through the years....thanks for all of your passion and content-so Fun!!!!

Just painted a majority of my house bahr Dove white. I have a few walls with matte blacks. Love my walls white! 😍 I might try that Conifer green in my powder room.

Wonderful tutorial! Always good to feel validated🤗

[@klomax7089]

Thank you soooo much for this video! I’ve been in my home for almost 3 years and have wanted to just have a blank canvas!!! The previous owner had lots of color, which I don’t mind, but I need it to truly be a blank canvas so the colors I want will shine through in my mind. I am soooo excited to use this color. It’s PERFECT!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾😱😱😱💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽🎉🎉🎉🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@donnajarvis9542]

You are just delightful and generous in sharing great ideas for our homes. Thank you.

Love this! I have Whitetail by Sherwin-Williams in most of my house with a bedroom in Country Squire. It is a very deep green in gloss which I love as the light dances on the walls!

[@yvonneadrian734]

Dove white has been one of my favorites for years! Such a great color of white because it's truly a neutral color and goes with everything. I am a white, gray and blue gal those are my colors.

I do so enjoy your videos. You're such a joy besides the great content.

I moved into my home five years ago and fell in love with Behr Swiss coffee and perfect taupe… colors that aren’t too white.. or too grey! I think it’s classic and timeless

[@yaninun1633]

I Just love how excited you get!!! 😁😆😉

[@MZ2023_]

One of the best content from your videos 👍🏼😍 love it and tq. And you look gorgeous too

[@cindybecker2903]

Choosing the “right” white is very challenging. Very dependent on light exposure. We painted our home 3 shades of whites ….. majority spaces were an overlooked/unknown color: Bridal Lace by Behr. Stunning - and makes our warm woodwork absolutely pop!

[@01keliree]

I went with a white interior too, I chose White Heron by Sherwin Williams. I was in love with Shoji White, but also decided to use it on the exterior, haven’t painted yet, so I’m excited to see how it looks on your home!

[@cstewart9493]

My fav has been Behr Bleached Linen. Love it!

[@jeanettesolomahale1558]

Your energy is the best!!!!

[@chriswalik8142]

Super helpful video. After 8 months of analysis’ paralysis this helped me most likely settle on blank canvas + neutral pallet.. Really appreciate all your commentary about kinds and colors of furniture that can co-exist nicely. Off to get some samples!

[@user-ck3fc4ev3d]

Joanna Gaines paint, “Pearly Cotton” is a white that has brought our home to a whole new level of calmness & warmth.

[@lindaga820]

Just love your enthusiasm !!!!

[@nasevedodge2551]

Hey Valentina ...watching your show for over a year Made me change the foot print of my Home YES white - Simply white from BM - we also did a dark moody den in New burg blue by BM and gravel grey on our doors ...and introduce it all on our stone work on our fireplace and yes white dove kitchen cabinets Thank you for sharing your sophisticated home that allow me to just go for it !! 🎉 love your energy ❤

[@michelledeacon6036]

Love white, shows art so beautifully I live in Canada at the beginning of of Covid lock down painted my home in Home Hardware paint shade" My mind is a blank". My local Home Hardware was the only place that was tinting paint during the " paintdemic" love the colour so much.

[@eileenkilworth6950]

We decided to go with white throughout the home earlier in the year....you add your colour & it throws a cast upwards tricking the eye to thinking you have colour on the wall! Change your colour decor & the reflection changes, sunny days through a different colour to dull moody days! I love it🙌

[@gailjames8114]

This has been so helpful!! Thank you, thank you, thank you! We are in the process of a new build and I am using The BM White Dove all over! Everyone questioned this choice! So happy to hear your comments on it! I have a built in hutch in my dining room and trying to decide what to paint it to go with the White Dove walls. Should I keep it the wall color or thought I might paint it a blue/gray (BM Wales Gray)??? Can you just please come to Texas!!😊. Thanks for all your incredible and helpful videos! You are adorable and so so talented!

[@whiskersBOOSTER2]

WOW!! This color is almost the exact match for my walls done in SW Panda White. Not that I needed validation to confirm that I made an OK choice, but it sure makes me feel great😊😊😊😊

[@krisspringer1568]

Thank you, Behr and Valentina! We are completely remodeling a 1980 FAS (factory-assembled home). For those who aren't familiar-on with the west coast, these are quite common and often cost as much as stick-built homes. I was going to go with Behr's Pale cornflower for our new guest bedroom, but this video convinced me that I truly needed a Blank Canvas! Not only for that room, but also for the adjoining black and white computer room, and for the retro mid-century guest bathroom we are installing. The guest bedroom and the guest bathroom both have dark blue features (one with navy and one with royal). I think the pale cornflower will now be the main color of the ceiling in the guest bath as well as the color of the base cabinets in my new kitchen. The top cabinets may just be Blank Canvas. :)

[@Jessrdms]

Thank you Valentina for this video! For me picking a paint color is almost as difficult as choosing baby names 😅

[@amandahilderbrant3140]

This is so great! My house is 9 years old and our cabinets, trim, and most walls are white dove. I’m looking at repainting some rooms and I’m so happy white dove is still a good white.

[@zahiyahassan9068]

I painted my house white exterior with black trim around the windows! Love it so many compliments! Love all the mood boards you showed. Now I’m confused shall I paint my study grant beige or blank canvas! Hmm help! 😍😍😍

[@angelagomez6742]

We moved into our condo a year and a half ago, and painted before moving everything in, but im wanting to paint again, for the 3rd time 😁....my husband just loves it 😂.....this might be the color I go with!

I really like the brighter fresher looking bedroom. It looks beautiful. Your pieces and accents of black look awesome with the cream walls

[@ardellclaire]

Thank you so much! Your video came at a perfect time. I'm struggling with deciding how to update my 1959 ranch with beige walls that we recently moved into. All the trim is original medium wood tones. Should I paint all the trim white too? Old oak floors.

My husband and I just purchased our dream home and I picked this color out a few weeks ago and when I saw it was the color of the year over the weekend I was so so excited!!🥰 I’m planning on pairing it with cracked pepper and gratifying gray. I’m also obsessed with the name Blank Canvas!

[@HT-sh1yj]

I watched this video when it first came out and I painted my living room with Blank Canvas this weekend. I LOVE Blank Canvas! I’m going to paint most of the remaining main floor in it.

Whites can be hard. It's all about the undertone. I lived in a house for a while that had cool white walls with a green undertone and it felt so cold! Now I always do warm whites.

Wonderful! Ive been looking at SW's Greek Villa (almost a perfect match to Blank Canvas). But want to thank you for the Shoji White suggestion - my other option - for my exterior. The front of the home faces southwest and I agree this is a better option for the sunny area it resides. Onward.....!

I'm from the Netherlands and we don't have Behr paints here. I'm planning to paint the interior of my house with PPG1075-1. Comparing the RGB values and LRV to Behr's Blank Canvas, they seem very similar, so I'm hopeful that my paint choice will be a good one too.

[@jlloeppke]

I’m using this color in our entire upstairs! I ADORE it. Pairing it with moody dark green, wood, and warm gray. I’m just so happy - it’s a perfect white for me!

You look stunning in this video. What a great choice from Behr for color of the year. I love white walls and rooms that have lots of light. 🤍🤍

[@user-iv6ty3cd5i]

We are flipping a second house and I used behr silky white throughout the entire house to stay on the neutral side. I was starting to doubt the choice but after seeing this I’m so relieved!! I did have to work at warming it up but it can be done! I actually used brown woods and blacks and lots of wicker and plants. I used white dove in the last flip and I have used Swiss coffee (BM) in my own home and both are beautiful, but diff. Lighting can affect the undertones and make them appear cream so be sure to TEST first. I’m definitely going to check out this new color!

[@diana6842]

Good advice. I went with - what I thought - was a soft white, but because of the lighting in my living room and kitchen, it looks like it leans yellowish, and it bugs me. I used oil based paint on all the woodwork, so redoing it feels overwhelming to me. Wish I had tested first. smh

[@shale4408]

I love the white. What shade of white do you use for the baseboards with the white walls?

[@JawsL225]

LOVE you and Jack! I am curious where you purchased the very large, framed map hanging on your wall? Cheers, Shaun 😊

[@camolineowens9365]

I LOVE it! Not all whites are the same! They have undertones that must be considered when choosing what white to use. Some are warm, some are cool, some reflect light more than others. So white is often overlooked by DIY decorators. I have my personal favorites: Rustoleum 2x spray paint in “Blossom White”, Sherwin Williams Origami, Behr White Dove, Rustoleum Chalk paint in Linen White, and finally Bright White!

[@YanesCorner]

I love white! I think I am going to paint the main areas of my house blank canvas!

Your eye for the details/undertones for the paint colors is how I view them too. When asking acquaintances which color to choose, they were very confused since for them they were all the same.

[@taunyawren8020]

Love you. Love this video, love painting! The question I have is, I’m searching for a French white. It appears almost a slight pink and or grey at times. Perhaps it’s the plaster? Any suggestions? I’m still interested in exploring lime wash, milk paints, & maybe even paint colors that could be similar to a lime wash or a technique.

[@5mullys]

I just started painting my kitchen and went with Benjamin Moore Simply White because that seemed to be the choice white all over KZbin. How does Blank Canvas compare? What finish do you prefer for walls, ceilings, and trim?

Valentina, I also love to give in white and wanted to do a contrast in my office, but now I’m reconsidering because I don’t think I’ll be happy spending significant time in a very dark room. How do you feel about yours and do you have any other suggestions that are not so dark, but also not flat?
