The name Navajo White is usually only used when referring to paint. From the 1970s to the 1990s it was, along with the color Bone color bone , one of the standard interior paint colors used in many tract housing tract homes in the United States and especially apartment complexes as, like the color bone, it does not easily show stains from cigarette smoke or fingerprints.

In 1987, the color Navaho white was included in the X11 color names X11 color list , which, after the invention of the world wide web in 1991, became known as the Web colors X11 web colors .
