White is the 2016 Color of the Year according to Benjamin Moore. Specifically Simply White OC-117. Ellen O'Neill, Benjamin Moore Creative Director says "White is not just a design trend, it is a design essential."
While this is true I do not personally like white walls, they feel like a cop out. As in, 'we couldn't decide what to do so we went with white'. Also they are impossible to maintain. However, the rest of the Benjamin Moore 2016 color palette has some very nice colors.
