Color defines space. The right paint colors can beautify rooms, alter moods, make small spaces look bigger and big spaces look cozy. The paint you use in a room sets the tone for that space, so color is something we take very seriously. We want all our customers to find the color that will make their paint projects perfect.
To support our customers in their ongoing mission to find the right paint color, we’ve compiled this list of 10 best Benjamin Moore colors. These awe-inspiring paint colors are the best of the best.
- Navajo White. Not quite cream, not quite white. This between here-and-there shade has a country kitchen romance to it. Pair it with shades of gray-blue or gray-green to enhance the natural, down-to-earthness that we love about this paint color.
- Edgecomb Gray. This shade of gray is so soft that it combines well with all furnishings and floor types. This unobtrusive paint color is perfect for large public parts of the house with lots of natural light.
- Shaker Beige. Warm and gentle, shaker beige is the ultimate neutral. Think: coffee with oodles of cream. Shaker beige is an incredibly flexible paint color that works in big rooms and small spaces, in public areas and in bedrooms.
- Beach Glass. A misty and complex combination of blue and gray and green, we love beach glass because it’s so zen. This is a beautiful color for a meditation room, bedroom, bathroom or study.
- Mannequin Cream. This color is reminiscent of drippy, refreshing gobs of vanilla ice cream. Not too yellow, not too white, mannequin cream has just enough color to be rich and noticeable.
- Waterbury Cream. The word “cream” in this context seems like kind of a misnomer. This color is somewhat darker than cream. It’s warm and fragile, a mixture of browns and ivories. This paint shade brings to mind antique paper.
- November Rain. This is one of those paint colors where you’ll find yourself asking, is it gray? Blue? Is there some brown in there? It seems to change with the quality of light and the furnishings around it. All we know for sure is that it’s lovely and mysterious.
- Mesquite. How can a paint color be bold but gentle simultaneously? This subtle shade of gray-green lends a natural calm to each room where it’s been painted. We recommend combining this paint with shades of cream and accents of dark brown.
- Palladian Blue. This light blue-green color is simply perfect for bathrooms. It makes small rooms pop and has just enough personality to dress up any space.
- Saybrook Sage. Another strong but subtle green, this color is fresh and cool, like a wet day in early spring. We like this color for kitchens, dining rooms and living rooms.
