Whites
White remains a top pick of paint color for commercial establishments because it’s bright and versatile. It comes in shades that give it a much softer appearance.
1- White Dove
This shade is what most people would probably call “cream.” However, it’s actually a yellow pigment in a much smaller amount. This is a fantastic shade to use if you want the space to look more inviting yet peaceful. The business establishments that frequently use white dove are wellness facilities such as spas, dental offices, facial centers, and bakeries.
2- Speckled White
Speckled white comes in both cold and warm tones. Many like this kind of white for concrete flooring because it gives floors the look of precious stones such as howlite, moonstone, selenite, and dalmatian stone. Expensive stone floors are all the rage these days, and with speckled white paint, which you can further enhance using decorative concrete finishes, you can achieve the look without spending an outrageous amount of money.
3- Extra White
Extra white paint is a shade of white with hints of both brown and grey. A lot of Nordic-inspired spaces make use of this special color because it somehow reflects the generally cool tones of the Scandinavian region. However, it also has that warm tint that hygge-loving folks like for a cozy vibe. It’s still white, though, with a subtle nuance to it that makes it such a lovely color for a commercial space.

But, you can also pair it with “juicy” colors such as yellow, chartreuse, and peacock, this color combination is oft-used in libraries and home goods stores.
3- Dorian Grey
Dorian grey is quite a fascinating shade because it can also look so much like a very soft and light version of olive green. It’s very pleasing to the eyes, particularly if the commercial space is located where autumns are beautiful. Dorian grey looks stunning with terracotta and white for a country store. Meanwhile, Dorian grey grouped with white, seafoam green, or pale blue, and espresso is an impressive color formula for beach town businesses.
