My Go- To Paint Colors

When I'm sourcing paint colors for a client or choosing for my own home, I am drawn to a few favorites that always work! I almost always choose Benjamin Moore paints and use their line of Pure Performance, Low Odor paints. They are self priming, go on great and hardly have any odor. They are also supposed to be their green option for paints, because of the low VOC's. So, it's a favorite! Here are my go- to colors:

Alaskan Husky

This is a very light, blue/gray that works with so many other colors. I have used it to bring warm and cool tones together and for a light, serene backdrop. It's also the color choice in our master bedroom, kitchen and family room.




Our Family Room


This is a very pale gray with a subtle hint of green. I have to find a place for this in my home! I did just suggest this color for a client, and I can't wait to see it completed!





This is a true gray. It is a lighter shade, and will go with just about any color!




This is a beautiful shade of pink that resembles ballet slippers. I can imagine this hue paired with gray or green!




This is a classic, deep blue great for an office, bedroom or dining room. It can be paired with white, yellow, orange or red.





This a deep and bold brown that almost appears black on the walls. This color looks amazing paired with coral, turquoise and gold.


Our Living Room


This is a great color for doors and stair railings. it's a muddy gray/black with a hint of brown. I'm a huge fan!


Our Foyer


This is a fun color in small doses. I would love it for the back of book shelves or on a door! Here, it's used on a ceiling and part of the wall- beautiful!

So there you have it- my favorite paint colors! I always like to go with an eggshell finish for walls. It's scrubbable with just a light sheen.

Do you have a favorite go - to paint color? Is is on this list??
