The Best Benjamin Moore Paint Colors for Each Room in Your Home

With more than 3,500 available colors, it’s easy to see why Benjamin Moore paint is so popular among homeowners. There’s a perfect shade to suit the mood of each room in your house, no matter the aesthetic. Here’s a guide to help you choose the best Benjamin Moore paint colors for the most important areas of your home.

Foyer/Lobby

White paint colors such as Snow White or Chantilly Lace are excellent options for entryways, as these areas of your home often don’t get a lot of sun exposure.  A soft blue shade, like Bird’s Egg or Breath of Fresh Air, creates a soothing first impression. For the best of both worlds, we’d recommend Distant Gray for its blue-gray notes and a predominately white shade. As the foyer is also a high-traffic area of your home, you’ll want to select a paint color with a higher sheen to protect it from scuffs and scratches. 

Dining Room

Neutral shades suit most dining rooms nicely because they’re versatile and can match many kinds of interior decorating schemes. Benjamin Moore paint carries a wide variety of beige, tan, gray, and cream colors for your consideration. If your dining room furniture is white, consider a darker hue like Vintage Wine or Hale Navy. Yellow is a color that stimulates the appetite, making it another popular choice to adorn eating areas. Golden Honey and Hawthorne Yellow both allow your walls to pop with color without being too overpowering. 

Kitchen

White, yellow, and gray are nice paint colors for kitchens of all sizes. If your kitchen has any exposed brick or stonework, you may appreciate a color scheme incorporating tan or muted red shades. Blue-gray kitchens are also quite popular in many modern homes, so check out Dusky Blue or Harbor Haze. For your kitchen cabinets, use paints with gloss or satin finishes. 

Living Room

The color of your living room walls, ceilings, and floors should match the furniture. Neutral shades are safe options in almost any situation. Homeowners with brown living room furniture might enjoy light brown paint for this space. Gray furniture looks great alongside a pleasing orange hue like Sunset Boulevard or Summer Peach Tree. 

Family Room 

Darker shades from the gray color family, such as Topsoil and Midnight Oil, make any family room a cozier space. Majestic Violet adds a touch of purple for extra elegance.  If you’re aiming to brighten up your family room, consider a muted yellow color like Golden Straw or Winter Sunshine. Yellow hues also perfectly complement neutral furniture colors.

Master Bedroom

Lighter neutral colors, as well as muted pink shades like Romance and First Light, are equal parts bright and comforting. For bedrooms with a lot of gold furniture or accents, you might want a black paint color or a deep red like Classic Burgundy. The dark blue of Midnight Navy has the same calming effect as its lighter counterparts. Bedroom doors should have either a gloss or low-luster paint finish.

Bathroom

Bathrooms should exude cleanliness, so you can never go wrong with white or off-white. Lighter paint colors reflect more sunlight, turning this typically small area into an ample oasis. Soft greens and blues, similar to what you might use in an entryway or kitchen, will also help this space become more inviting to all who visit. Both blue and green hues are subtly present in some of Benjamin Moore’s off-white paint options, including White Ice and Meadow Mist.
