Some people are born to be risk-takers, whether it's going on rollercoasters, speaking in public, or wearing bright colors and making a statement. Maybe you're more subdued in person, but you want your home to be a true reflection of you! If your inner color lover is ready to shine, you'll love what we have for you to go for the bold. 

Our color experts at Brush & Roll Painting love to bring your home to its true potential, and sometimes that means bold statements in the form of color and design.

If you're ready for a high-risk, high-reward take on your walls and kitchen cabinets, read on to see some of our favorite bold paint colors for every room of the house. 

1. Red- Benjamin Moore

Nothing says drama and passion quite like the color red. It's a stunning color for any space and most interior design styles. Red goes with most colors, especially black, white, navy, gray, and beige. Like the perfect lipstick, Red by Benjamin Moore is elegant, rich, and regal. We love this in the dining room. Red is said to increase the appetite or to inspire creativity in a home office.

2. Cinnamon Slate- Benjamin Moore

Our next bold pick for 2025 is Benjamin Moore's 2025 Color of the Year: Cinnamon Slate. This shade is a deep purple that isn't too loud. This shade would be perfect for an accent wall or bathroom wall color.

 

3. Cavern Clay - Sherwin Williams

For a bold color that feels unexpected yet completely inviting, consider a warm burnt orange. This earthy shade adds energy and character to a room while maintaining a grounded, cozy vibe.

A stunning option is Cavern Clay (SW 7701) by Sherwin-Williams, a terracotta-inspired shade that pairs beautifully with natural materials like wood and stone. It’s perfect for accent walls in living rooms, bedrooms, or dining spaces where you want a bold yet welcoming focal point.

4. Hunter Green- Benjamin Moore

You could make the argument that dark green is a neutral, and you'd be right. But there's no denying the dramatic impact this deep shade makes in a room! We love a shade like Hunter Green by Benjamin Moore in a bedroom for ultra-cozy vibes or in a bathroom. This shade contrasts beautifully with lighter neutral shades as trim as well as gold or brass hardware. 

5. Twilight Blue- Benjamin Moore

There's a lot to love about every shade of blue, but we think this one is extra special. Described as a "late evening sky" blue, this deeply saturated shade is a real workhorse and very versatile. We've seen Twilight Blue by Benjamin Moore on kitchen cabinets as well as on home office walls. But it can also be an exciting bedroom color or accent wall in your living room. 

6. Hale Navy- Benjamin Moore

Navy blue is a timeless classic that goes with every style and just about every color. But some shy away from a dark shade, so we understand why it's considered a bold choice. Hale Navy by Benjamin Moore is a deep, elegant shade with dark gray undertones that looks amazing with cream or crisp white. It also has both warm and cool undertones so it's incredibly versatile. 

 

7. Onyx- Benjamin Moore

Black walls or woodwork can make such a beautiful, elevated difference to your home. A great go-to is Onyx by Benjamin Moore, which has neutral undertones. This shade looks best in a room with lots of light, and it contrasts beautifully with crisp white or an off-white. Many homeowners are hesitant to go with such a dramatic shade, but black is an excellent backdrop color and will complement any interior design style.
