Good news! A gloss or semi-gloss paint finish isn’t your only option when it comes to avoiding the unsightly effects of bathroom humidity. The matte finish of Aura® Bath & Spa also provides exceptional durability, color retention and mildew resistance in high-humidity environments. A matte finish delivers a sense of softness to bathrooms where hard surfaces like tile, mirrors, and metal fixtures abound.
Committed to higher sheens in the bathroom? Keep in mind that a paint with a higher finish or sheen may create an overabundance of shine, especially when combined with typical bathroom surfaces.
Neutral colors are natural color choices for a living area. Often living rooms and family rooms are open to other areas of the house so a great neutral can enable the use of color in adjoining spaces. Picking the best neutral paint color is a matter of style: warm shades tend to be inviting and cozy while hues with cool undertones have a chic, modern vibe. And don’t consider white a color cop-out—selecting from the vast variety of white hues creates a blank canvas for favorite art and furnishings.
When you want to add design drama with bold color but don’t want the hue to overpower your space, paint an accent wall. Choose a wall in the room that makes sense as a focal point, such a fireplace wall. Select a color that can be tied to the overall space with fabrics, area rugs, and accessories. The remaining walls can be painted in a lighter version of the accent color, or select a neutral with an undertone that complements the accent wall.
Color has the power to change not only the look of a room, but also the ambiance. Do you need a boost to wake up or a cocoon to encourage relaxation? Before you decide on the best paint color for your bedroom, consider these basic facts: Warm colors add energy; cool hues create a more calming atmosphere. Saturated color will wrap you in a cozy environment, while pale shades conjure an airier feel.
When selecting paint colors for the bedroom take your cues from the fabrics used on bedding and window treatments. If you’re overwhelmed by color choices, try pulling a hue from a favorite fabric for a wall color that helps you achieve your design goals.

Ask children what color they want for their room, and big, bright hues top the list. Knowing that this is the space where they sleep, study and play–balance is the key.
You can also designate an area of a kid’s room for expressing creativity with chalk. Benjamin Moore’s ben® Chalkboard Paint empowers you to create a dynamic and unique accent wall that your little one will love.

A DIY favorite, our ben® paint line offers a special formulation that makes painting easier with quick-fix drips and smooth touch-ups.
The chemistry that exists between colors on opposite sides of the color wheel–known as ‘complementary colors’ in color and design parlance–is palpable. Complementary color schemes that include primary or bold colors are said to create excitement or high energy (think sports team jerseys).
Explore how these types of happy color unions–purple & yellow, blue & orange–can infuse any size room with a sense of whimsy, especially if you opt for deep, primary colors. Complementary color schemes can be a bit too bold for some, so using a primary with a lighter or darker complement offers a more subtle option.
Cabinets take up the most visual space, so let them guide you to the best colors for your kitchen. If your cabinets are finished in dark or medium wood, look to colors that will create balance by using lighter hues. White and pale wood cabinets pair well with many colors, particularly cool blues, grays and greens for a look that is updated and works for both modern and traditional schemes.
In an open floorplan, the best kitchen palette complements colors in adjoining living areas for eye-pleasing color continuity. Since wall space is more limited, choose a color option that will complement not only the kitchen, but also adjoining rooms. Need more inspiration? Pull a color you like from your countertop, backsplash or even a favorite upholstery fabric for a paint color that will visually link the two spaces.
Use this designer tip to add some visual spice to a kitchen filled with neutral countertops and cabinets: Paint one element with a strong, contrasting color. Because of its central location, a dramatic kitchen island can bring a room into focus. Or define one of the activity areas, like a breakfast nook or work area, with paint color. Choose paints with a subtle sheen to enhance the effect such as an eggshell finish.
The entryway is a transitional space that family and guests spend only a brief amount of time in, so opting for soft, welcoming neutrals is always a popular choice. Lighter color paint on walls keeps the entryway area open and airy. Neutrals also offer seamless color flow into surrounding rooms.
You can add liveliness to neutral colors by mixing and matching several choices on wainscoting, trim and walls. If space allows, consider an accent piece like a small table or colorful chairs to layer in details that are both practical and pretty.
Using bold colors makes for a strong and memorable first impression that often reflects the personality of those who live there. Darker hues can help add definition to smaller spaces. Make sure you view the entryway from multiple angles to ensure the chosen color will complement connected rooms.
Darker colors can also provide a dose of practicality as they hide dirt better than lighter shades, making them great for grand entrances and small mud rooms alike. Along with a stroke of drama, darker hues meet the challenge of messy dogs and running kids head on.
The back of your front door is yet another option for deeper color in your entryway. Watch our how-to video for tips on painting an interior door.
During the day, light pours into your entryway. Take a cue from the landscape beyond your door, whether it be fresh greenery, desert climes or urban steel when selecting color.
Testing paint colors on the wall is essential in your entryway because of dramatically changing lighting conditions that occur here, from natural sun to artificial light. Buy a small pint Benjamin Moore Color Sample, brush it on, and test lighting interaction with the door open, partially open, and fully closed during both day and night.
One way to bring extra light into your entryway is to consider higher gloss sheens for an extra brightening effect.
