Whole Home Paint Color Tour
When selecting paint colors for my home I wanted to create a warm neutral palette, while also pulling in some bold hues to add some contrast and depth to the overall design. My go-to paint brands have always been Sherwin Williams and Benjamin Moore so I’ve used a good mix of each palette throughout my home. My all-time favorite paint to use is Sherwin Williams SuperPaint Air Purifying. It’s a high quality paint that’s a nice thick consistency. I have easily bought over 200 gallons and exclusively use only that paint line because it’s zero VOC and is very low odor. When using Benjamin Moore paint colors I just have my local Sherwin Williams color match for me.
Sherwin Williams - Greek Villa
I used this color throughout my home. I wanted a warm, creamy white and this color was the perfect mix of bright and warm. It has subtle soft yellow undertones and slight gray/pink undertones. I’ve used this color for the walls in a satin sheen, and on my baseboards, doors, and trim in a semi gloss sheen.
Benjamin Moore - Cliffside Gray
I used this color in my sitting room and on the inside of my front door. It’s a soft pale gray with blue undertones. It creates a calming feel and is the perfect muted tone for any space.
Sherwin Williams - Utterly Beige and Realist Beige
I used these two colors on my kitchen cabinetry. The island is painted Utterly Beige, and the perimeter cabinets and coffee bar are Realist Beige. Both colors are great neutrals with cool brown undertones. They do lean slightly purple/pink in some lighting, which I like and ties in with my flooring that also have a pink/purple undertone. My kitchen gets a lot of of natural light, so these colors are deep, rich tones.
Sherwin Williams - Utterly Beige
I have also painted my media room that’s just off the kitchen in the same color as the kitchen island—Sherwin Williams Utterly Beige. This is a more accurate representation of just how deep and rich this paint color truly is in a room that isn’t completely drenched in natural light. I love the moody vibe and warm pink/purple undertones of this color.
Sherwin Williams - Wall Street
I used this color for my laundry room and think it pairs so well with the wallpaper I chose for the space. This space gets very little natural light and I wanted to really lean into that instead of fighting against it for a light and bright feel. It’s a deep, sophisticated charcoal gray with blue undertones.
Sherwin Williams - Dove Wing
I used this color in my upstairs hallway and on the trim in my guest room. It’s an inviting warm putty tone that pairs beautifully with Sherwin Williams Greek Villa. The contrast between the two colors is incredibly subtle and can really only be appreciated in areas with less natural light.
Benjamin Moore - Puritan Gray
My husband really wanted a moody, country club aesthetic for his office and Puritan Gray fits the bill. It’s a mid-tone hue with a blue/green/gray undertone. It’s a very versatile color that would add a punch of personality to any space and would look fabulous on cabinetry.
Sherwin Williams - Let it Rain
This color is a beautiful cool blue/gray that give this guest bathroom a calm and tranquil feel. The lighting in the space really influences how gray or blue the color appears.
Sherwin Williams - Poetry Plum
I was so excited to use this deep plum color in my basement bar! It has a strong brown undertone with just a touch of purple. The undertones are more exaggerated in my basement due to to the artificial lighting. I think this color would look a lot more muted and subtle in natural lighting.
Sherwin Williams - Peppercorn
I wanted a dark charcoal gray tone for this media unit I built into my basement and Peppercorn was the perfect match. It’s a dark gray with subtle blue undertones. This space also has almost no natural light so the blue undertones are more present under the artificial lighting. I think this color would appear to be more of a true warm gray in natural lighting.
Benjamin Moore - Westcott Navy & Sherwin Williams - Tony Taupe
The shutters and front door are painted Benjamin Moore Westcott Navy, which is a deep, muted navy blue. The siding and trim is Sherwin Williams Tony Taupe, which is a dark beige with mushroom/gray undertones. I have stucco on the back and sides of my home and have gone a shade lighter to Sherwin Williams Balanced Beige.
