White, Grey and Beige Walls Still No. 1 in Canada, CIL Paint Survey Shows

 

Neutral tones, such as Marshmallow White (30YY 83/012 | WN22) by CIL paint, featured on the wall of this bedroom, are among the brand’s top-selling paint colours.

TORONTO — From coast to coast, Canadians prefer neutral colours for home decor, but residents of some provinces are more daring with colour than those of other provinces. That’s the finding of a countrywide survey of Canadian painting habits conducted by CIL paint.
According to the survey, which polled more than 1,500 consumers across the country, 51% of Canadians equate white, grey and beige with a beautiful and liveable colour palette for the home, while 36% think pastel colours such as yellow, blue or green are the better choice. Only 13% of respondents put rich colours such as red, black or purple in this category.
