Paint Series - Neutral Paint Colors

Tuesday, January 25, 2011


THIS POST IS FROM ROOM REMIX - THE BLOG .

Happy Tuesday everybody!

I'm continuing with the paint series today and the designers are sharing some of their favorite neutral paint colors. As they talked about in the tips they gave yesterday every paint color should be well tested before you use it, but if you're looking for a neutral paint I'm hoping this will give you a starting point. And, who knows, one of these may turn out to be the perfect one for your space!

- The best true beige [without yellow] are BM Manchester Tan HC 81 and BM Natural Linen 966
- If you want a good warm gray/beige then I like BM Revere Pewter HC 172 and Edgecomb Gray HC 173 [a slight pinkish gray in a certain light]
- My favorite whites are BM White Dove and China White [they are not blue whites]

-I have Benjamin Moore Sherwood Tan throughout most of my house. It’s on the darker side of neutral but reminds me of a warm mocha.
- I also like Lenox Tan, also by Benjamin Moore.
- And, gray can be a great neutral backdrop. I recently used Going Gray by Olympic Paint in a client’s home. It’s soft and soothing.
