Benjamin Moore Navajo White Review & Inspiration

What We Love About Navajo White 947

Navajo White is a timeless, soft cream color that leans towards yellow and tan. This warm off-white is named after the ivory-beige tones found in traditional Navajo textiles. Navajo White is known for its popularity in the American Southwest, and it’s often used on Spanish-style architecture. However, this light and airy cream color is so versatile that it works beautifully for any architectural style, interior or exterior. Part of the Benjamin Moore Off-White Collection, Navajo White is a classic neutral that works equally well as a wall or trim color.

The Best Places To Use Navajo White

With its subtle yellow and tan undertones, Navajo White is a warm off-white that adds depth and richness. This bright, light neutral is ideal for all-over color, making larger rooms feel airy and open, and lending small spaces a cozy warmth. As a trim color, it provides soft contrast for earth-toned walls.

Navajo White has been popular ever since mid-century architects combined it with brown, orange, and avocado green. As gray interiors begin to incorporate warmer shades, this classic off-white is trending again.

This timeless off-white magnifies the light in South and West-facing rooms and helps darker spaces feel sunnier. With only warm undertones, it’s an off-white color that stays true even in cooler, Northern light. Create contrast by pairing it with a brighter white on baseboards, crown molding, and bookshelves.

In this bright interior hall, the warm Navajo White is paired with Benjamin Moore Balboa Mist OC-27 on trim and stairs for a soft subtle contrast.
