Think of your favorite white pair, straight out the box. That’s the feeling of this one. Fresh and modern, this is our cleanest, brightest white, with no undertones.

Fresh Kicks is an untinted white which is what makes it a true, bright white with no undertones. In some spaces, it may require additional coats for adequate coverage.

Fresh Kicks Gallons are available in both Wall Paint (Eggshell) and Trim Paint (Semi-gloss). Not sure yet? Sample it first with our Peel & Stick Swatches.

Fresh Kicks is included in the Whites & Lights Swatch Kit.

* Fresh Kicks is untinted paint which is what makes it a true, bright white with no undertones. It may require 3-4 coats for the most professional finish.

Fresh Kicks is Clare's cleanest, brightest white, like a favorite white pair of sneakers right out of the box. This is a true, crisp white with no undertones, reading fresh and modern rather than warm or cool. Because it stays perfectly neutral, it delivers the sharp, gallery-clean look that a white with hidden beige, gray, or blue simply cannot.

At an LRV of 95, Fresh Kicks is about as light and reflective as paint gets, bouncing maximum light to make a room feel open, airy, and bright. One important thing to know before you buy: Fresh Kicks is untinted, and that lack of pigment is exactly what makes it so pure. It also means it can need three to four coats for full, even, professional coverage, especially over darker or previously colored walls. Planning for the extra coats is the key to getting that flawless, true-white finish.

The neutral base makes Fresh Kicks the most flexible white in the line: it pairs cleanly with any color, works on walls, trim, and ceilings, and can even be mixed into another Clare color for a lightened custom shade. It works in modern and minimal spaces, kitchens, bathrooms, trim and ceilings throughout a home, and anywhere a crisp, uncomplicated white is the goal. Pair it as trim against a saturated wall color for maximum contrast.

Best for: Walls, trim, ceilings, modern and minimal spaces, kitchens, bathrooms, whole-home white

Pairs best with: Any Clare color as a contrast; especially crisp against deep or saturated walls

Color family: White

Undertone detail: Neutral and untinted; a true, pure white with no warm or cool undertones

LRV interpretation: 95, an extremely high, maximally reflective value for a bright, open, airy result

Lighting guidance: Stays true and clean across lighting. As an untinted white, plan for three to four coats for full coverage

Finish recommendation: Eggshell for walls and ceilings; Semi-Gloss for trim, doors, and high-use areas

Complementary Clare colors: Snow Day, Timeless, Whipped, Penthouse, On Point

FAQs

How does Fresh Kicks look in natural light vs. artificial light?

Fresh Kicks stays remarkably true across lighting because it has no undertones to shift, reading as a clean, bright white in daylight and under artificial light alike. The most important thing to plan for is coverage, not color: because it is untinted, it can require three to four coats for a full, even, professional finish, especially over darker or previously colored walls. Sampling in the actual space before committing to a full gallon is still recommended, which is why Clare offers peel-and-stick swatches.

How does Fresh Kicks compare to other similar Clare shades?

For shades adjacent to Fresh Kicks, consider Snow Day, which reads as a cool white with a touch of warmth, or Timeless, an off-white with soft creamy undertones. For the warmest option, Whipped brings a cozy warm-white feel. Fresh Kicks is the purest and starkest of the group, with no undertones at all. Clare's peel-and-stick swatches make it easy to compare these whites side by side in your space before committing.

How many coats does Clare paint require?

Clare paint is formulated to provide excellent coverage in two coats. For painting over an existing color that is lighter than the new shade, one coat may suffice. Clare paint is self-priming, so a separate primer coat is typically not required on previously painted surfaces in good condition.

Can I use wall paint on trim and ceilings?

Fresh Kicks works beautifully across walls, trim and ceilings, making it easy to create a consistent, crisp white look throughout a space. For the best durability, Clare recommends eggshell for walls and ceilings and semi-gloss trim paint for trim, doors and other high-use surfaces. Because Fresh Kicks is untinted, plan for three to four coats for full, even coverage, especially over darker or previously painted surfaces.

What is the best way to choose between similar paint colors?

Sampling in the actual room is the single most reliable way to choose between similar colors. Paint colors shift depending on the room's light exposure, ceiling height, furnishings, and flooring. Clare's peel-and-stick swatches allow direct comparison of multiple colors on the wall without the mess of traditional paint samples. Observe each swatch at different times of day and under both natural and artificial light before making a final decision.

White Out

Ordered the paint on Thursday and it showed up on Saturday. Crazy quick and I ordered the regular shipping. Immediately painted over a dark blue wall. Took about 3 coats and it looks great. It's very white which is what I wanted. I thought my walls were white until I painted this on it. It's as white as you can get. Would recommend.
