The color ivory gets its name from the material that makes the tusks or teeth of several animals, including elephants, walruses, and hippopotamuses. It’s an elegant, creamy shade of off-white that many associate with purity, wealth, and social status. We carry many shades of ivory paint from Benjamin Moore and look forward to helping you find your favorites.

Where Should You Use Ivory Color?

The benefit of using a neutral color is that you can incorporate it into any space in your home. Many people use ivory to give their living room a clean, relaxing vibe or to greet guests with a welcoming, mellow tone in their entryway or foyer. Ivory is excellent for bedrooms, bathrooms, and kitchen cabinets when you choose matte gold or brass hardware. However, it’s essential to be mindful of undertones and remember that light colors show dirt and smudges more easily.

Choosing Accents for Ivory Rooms

Make the most of ivory paint in a room by choosing accent pieces in shades of gray, taupe, gold, or dark blue. If you embrace bold interior design, you can pair ivory with red or purple tones. You can use ivory to create a monochromatic color scheme, but we recommend mixing textiles and textures to add depth and visual interest. One of our favorite benefits of ivory walls is that you can effortlessly change up the look of a room by switching out accessories.
