Tips for Removing Latex Paint
- Benjamin Moore, Deep in Thought: If you could combine gray and cream, you’d get Benjamin Moore’s Deep in Thought. Great for bathrooms, living rooms and nurseries, this color goes best with soft blues and gentle greens.
- Benjamin Moore, Blond Wood: Studious and papery, this paint color reminds us a little bit of the cookies we’ll be baking this holiday season. We recommend this warm neutral for a study or home office.
- Valspar, Spun Honey: This color is warm and bright, and a bit eggnog-esque. We recommend this for a baby’s bedroom or an attic room where a cheery paint color can really make a difference.
- Benjamin Moore, Boothbay Gray: When we see Boothbay Gray, we think of a cold, coastal New England winter and foamy, turbulent seas. A little bit of blue, a little bit of gray, and a dash of wintery chill is what makes this color so striking.
- Benjamin Moore, Winter White: This complex shade of white contains just enough gray that it reminds us of the clouds that hang overhead on gentle winter afternoons.
- Valspar, Summer Sigh: Sure, it’s called Summer Sigh, but this this minty cool green has a wintery edge. Perfect for a bathroom or for use as an accent color, we recommend pairing this refreshing paint color with soft white or a mellow cream.
- Benjamin Moore, Street Chic: Gray is very in right now, so we’ve included this smoky, romantic shade of gray. This color is reminiscent of heavy clouds before a blizzard.
- Valspar, Cincinnatian Hotel: A soft and subtle shade of gray that goes well with shades of red or blue, Cincinnatian Hotel is flexible and rich, perfect for a bathroom, study or living room.
- Benjamin Moore, Palladian Blue: This gentle shade is more gray than blue, with a tiny bit of sea foam mixed in. We look at this color and think of ice skating on a crisp cold afternoon. Pair this color with white, another shade of gray, or a deep navy. We recommend this color for a bedroom or nursery.
- Benjamin Moore, Iced Marble: Not so different from Palladian Blue, this color is a little bit darker and moodier, which makes it great for a study or home office. This color dresses up nicely with white or light, light gray paint.
