Eggshell in Human Culture
Interior design
- The color eggshell is commonly used in interior design when one desires a pale warm neutral off-white color. However eggshell paint also refers to a type of hard-wearing wall paint with the same matte sheen as an egg's shell, rather than the same color; consequently eggshell paint can be any color, not just off-white. A light blue color is a common for eggshell.
