25 Warm and Cozy Cream Paint Colors for Any Room in Your Home

When you're looking for something warmer and cozier than white, cream paint colors are just the answer. With undertones that usually lean toward beige, yellow, or peach, cream can make a room seem more alive and inviting.

Cream is elegant and sophisticated, yet approachable. Cream is the color to use when white seems to stark but beige seems too dark. It's a perfect in-between neutral to reflect light and add a timeless look to both traditional and modern decor.

But with seemingly countless cream neutrals to choose from, it's tough to know where to start. Here are 25 cream paint colors to inspire you.

Sherwin-Williams Steamed Milk

This warm off-white with peach undertones gives you a creamy, cozy look in any room.

"It's the perfect cream without yellow or gray undertones," says home and garden blogger Marcie Millholland. "[It] works with everything I’ve ever paired it with."

Benjamin Moore White Dove

Beautifully creamy White Dove is a classic among designers, used again and again throughout living spaces, kitchens, and bedrooms.

"We love this color because it’s an 'easy' white," says Eleanor Trepte, Principal Designer at Dekay & Tate. "It’s not too bright and overpowering. It picks up tones from the other colors in the room."

Farrow & Ball White Tie

White Tie is named for that clean, soft shade of white that adorns a man's white dinner jacket. You can practically feel the softness of the fabric coming across in this creamy color.

Benjamin Moore Brutton White

Based on a classic 18th century color, this cream from Benjamin Moore's Colonial Williamsburg collection introduces a touch of gray for a chalkier take on cream. Lindy Whitlock Bickish, Antiques Dealer and Founder of the Potomac Collective, notes that it's a wonderful color to use in a classic center hall colonial.

Benjamin Moore Swiss Coffee

"Swiss Coffee is so yummy!" says Morgan Martin Boyer, a design-focused Realtor with Hunt Country Sotheby's. "No glaring undertones, not a stark white. Just creamy goodness."

This agreeable neutral is perfect anywhere in the house, from living rooms to bedrooms.

Benjamin Moore Harwood Putty

Named for 18th century Williamsburg mason Humphrey Harwood, this creamy off-white has a cool touch that you don't often find in cream hues. It resembles a lime wash, which is one of the oldest paint techniques, dating back to ancient Egypt. Try this color in a room with timeless wood furniture.

Benjamin Moore Pale Almond

"Benjamin Moore Pale Almond is a welcoming and warm back drop for classic American and English brown furniture," says Jen Bienvenu, Interior Decorator and Vintage Dealer at J. Bienvenu Interiors. Use this yellow-toned neutral with warm accents in a living room.

Benjamin Moore Putnam Ivory

Bienvenu also loves Benjamin Moore's Putnam Ivory.

"It’s a sophisticated neutral and alternative to painting walls white to highlight art and collections," she says.

This warm cream has peach and orange undertones that give it depth and let it hold its own against even the boldest decor.

Benjamin Moore Mascarpone

This lightweight, airy cream paint has just a hint of buttery yellow.

"I love this on cabinetry—it feels creamy and warm," says Melinda Trembly, Owner and Creative Director at Rincon Rd. Just like its namesake, it's a lovely shade in a kitchen.

Sydney Harbour Lime Wash in Coconut Milk

This versatile neutral lands somewhere between beige and white, giving off a balanced creaminess that goes with warm and cool tones alike.

"I love the depth it adds to a space," Trembly says.

Slipper Satin by Farrow & Ball

"Slipper Satin by Farrow and Ball is a favorite cream paint color," says Becca Casey, Founder and Designer of Becca Interiors.

This sophisticated neutral is named for the color inside ballet slippers, and adds that same elegance to classic decor. This is a cream that can hold its own next to cool tones and in sun-soaked spaces.

Benjamin Moore Ivory White

"Ivory white is the perfect choice for creaminess," says Lisa Montague, Designer at Lisa Montague Design. "It's warm without reading yellow and transitions beautifully from day to night. When used for trim it plays well with other colors."

Benjamin Moore Soft Chamois

Soft Chamois is a stately cream with warm tones that lean towards beige. It reads like a warm off-white, and it's a sophisticated color that is suited for living spaces, kitchens, and bedrooms alike.

Sherwin-Williams Creamy

Sherwin-Williams Creamy lives up to its name, adding yellow undertones to an off-white base for a goes-with-anything color. It's a brighter cream than other creamy colors, and works as a classic neutral in homes with more traditional decor.

Farrow & Ball Tallow

This creamy neutral is a glowy, clean color named for the material that was used to make candles starting thousands of years ago. Today, the paint color Tallow is beautiful in both dimly lit and bright spaces, thanks to its ability to reflect light. It has just a touch of yellow and pink, making it a warm and inviting color for a bedroom.

Sydney Harbour Lime Wash in Whisk

This balanced beige is a creamy take on a neutral, with just a touch of warm tones to give it versatility and a timeless look. Try this color in a living room layered with other neutrals, including brown, gray, and taupe.

Benjamin Moore Gentle Cream

Described as a bisque hue, Gentle Cream is exactly the color of a warm lobster bisque on a cold day. It adds depth and coziness to a space, making it feel inviting. Use this in an entryway with rich wood hues for a traditional aesthetic.

Benjamin Moore Linen White

This relaxed cream hue is an off-white with a touch of butter stirred in. It feels easygoing and casual, and it looks right at home in a bedroom with lots of natural light and layers of neutral bedding and furniture.

Sherwin-Williams Alabaster

This soft, warm off-white is the perfect cream paint color to choose for a bedroom. It's warm without feeling overwhelmingly yellow or orange, and, instead, just lends a peaceful feeling of life to a white base.

Farrow & Ball Pointing

Pointing is a warm, versatile cream that feels at home across traditional and modern decor. It has a refreshing, crisp look that goes with any room, and you can use it in your living room, kitchen, bedroom, dining room, or anywhere you want a welcoming wash of color.

Sherwin-Williams Navajo White

For a traditional cream paint color that looks just right in stately living rooms and classic kitchens, try Sherwin-Williams Navajo White. This off-white has a strong dose of yellow, giving it warmth and depth.

Benjamin Moore Acadia White

Acadia White is a warm cream paint color that also feels refreshing and crisp. In a room full of natural light, it will read bright and airy, making it an excellent choice for sunrooms, living rooms, and south facing spaces.

Benjamin Moore Indian White

Indian White is another cream paint color that has peach-beige tones, but it has a lighter, airier feel than some other warm cream colors. Try this in a cozy living room, where the candlelight will emphasize its welcoming feel.

Benjamin Moore Featherbed

This cream color is heavy on the yellow, and it looks just like buttermilk. That can be a good thing and, in this case, it makes it a versatile color for those who want yellow but don't want to wade too far into the deep end. Instead, it's light, easy, and approachable.

Sherwin-Williams Antique White

Picture Antique White in a home filled with wood antiques and layers of collections. This warm cream color has more depth than your average white, and it gives a space a traditional, nostalgic feel.
