Keep reading to see some of our color experts' favorite neutral paint colors to use in any room of your house in 2024 and beyond.
1. Beige Paint
Shades of cream and beige aren't just for hallways or offices anymore. They're a warm alternative to stark white and can actually contrast a snowy white trim or lighter wood details. A shade like White Sand by Benjamin Moore is a soothing hue that instantly warms up a space and has yellow undertones as well as some peach and orange. Pair it with white accents, cool blue-gray, blush pink, charcoal, or navy.
2. Light Green Paint
If you can't bear to be without color but want a more timeless, neutral
space, consider a light neutral green. It's colorful enough to satisfy your color lust and neutral enough to go with anything. This subtle shade has become one of the most popular picks in interior design and is even Benjamin Moore's Color of 2022. October Mist is silvery green with gray undertones so it's more muted than the more vibrant greens we see.
3. Navy Blue Paint
Hale Navy by Benjamin Moore reigns supreme as one of our favorite navy paint colors for all the best reasons. Aside from its beauty and saturation, it's the perfect maritime-inspired navy paint color that works with any existing decor and interior design style. No matter which navy paint color you go with, it's a guarantee that it'll look great with any white paint color or beige and greige.
4. Light Gray Paint
Gray is one of the most dependable shades and a new favorite among
color experts and designers. A light gray is best on walls and kitchen cabinets when it comes to interiors. There are so many grays we love, and a shade like Gray Owl by Benjamin Moore is foolproof and goes with whites. This particular shade is described as neutral-to-cool gray and works well in a space with some natural light.
5. Light Blue
Anything we can do to add serenity and peace to our lives and our homes is the way to go! Light blue is an instantly calming shade and works great on walls. A shade like Iceberg by Benjamin Moore looks perfect with light floors and white trim for a spa-like space full of tranquility. While light blue is technically a color, a muted blue-green shade is neutral enough to go anywhere.
6. Blush
Blush pink has become a top trending neutral color in fashion as well as
interior design. More homeowners are opting to go for blush walls or an accent wall because of the subtle statement it makes. A shade like Benjamin Moore's Gobi Desert has just a touch of mauve as well as gray undertones and beige, so it plays well with other neutral colors.
7. Dark Gray
Think a charcoal shade that's softer than black. Something like Gray by Benjamin Moore is easy to live with and still adds the drama of a dark paint shade. Dark gray looks great in any room, no matter what your interior design style is. We love dark gray with farmhouse style as well as super modern styles.
8. Neutral White
All white paint shades were not created equal. In fact, when you put
different white paints on walls during different times of the day, they couldn't be more different. A neutral white will be between warm and cool, extremely versatile, and work well in any setting. White Dove by Benjamin Moore is a go-to for paint pros and designers for exactly those reasons.
9. Gray-Blue
Moody yet understated, a gray-blue paint shade is relaxing for bathrooms and also has the perfect warm and cozy vibes for bedrooms and living rooms. Try the popular cyan shade Montpelier by Benjamin Moore to get this look. It even looks great on kitchen cabinets!
10. Pewter
Also known as "greige," pewter is a shade that marries gray and beige.
It's both warm and cool and remains one of the most comforting shades that's a workhorse for home interiors and kitchen cabinets. Pair a shade like Benjamin Moore's Revere Pewter with jewel tones, complementary neutrals, gold or brass hardware, or bright decor pieces.
