As an Interior Designer paint colors seem to be the thing most new clients need help with. After 20+ years I have my go to favorites that work in a large variety of homes. I thought I would share these colors that have done me good over the years!

As you will notice all these colors are Benjamin Moore. You might ask why them, well I will tell you of all the paint brands I have used over the years they are the only ones I can count on to be true to their samples. The added benefit is they have small sample bottles that cost around $6, great for brushing out a sample on the wall and touching up.

Words of Wisdom

I won't take the chance of just buying a large can of paint off a paper sample and you shouldn't either. I always brush out a sample of a paint color at every new client, even if I have used it before…you never know.

Note that some of these samples are not true to their actual color, but they will give you an idea.

My go to White Benajmin Moore Mayonnaise #OC-85. Let’s face it white is boring, but I love this white crips but with a touch of cream. It works anywhere.

My Favorite Grey Benajmin Moore Pebble Beach #1597. This grey is just the right shade, not too blue, not too red. Grey’s can be challanging, but this grey does me right everytime I use it.
