10. F & B pigeon
Chris Love’s Julia used this color in their great room and color matched to SW, (which she explains in this post). I think this is a great no-fuss color that could work really well in almost any room.
9. SW Taupe Tone
If you’re looking for a warm color right now (it’s so current), I would recommend skipping beige and going for a taupe. I honestly think taupe tends to have a lot more depth. I recently used Taupe Tone in an office on the walls and trim and it is gorgeous!
8. SW black magic
This is a softer black paint that I think would be amazing in a dining room or even a basement! Don’t knock it till ya try it!
7. SW Romance
Such a beautiful choice if you’re looking for a pink color. It’s the perfect blend of pink and coral and so soft and feminine. I recently used this in a little girls room and she was so happy with it! There are definitely more exciting pinks on the fan deck if you let the kids look at it, but I think this is one parents will be happy with too!
6. SW Pewter Green
One of my go to colors in interior design or my closet is a great olive green, it reads like a neutral. This olive toned paint color definitely fits the bill! I’m hoping to paint my dining room green in the near future and this is a serious contender!
5. SW Debonair
The perfect neutral, pale blue. There are no purple undertones and this color could really be used anywhere. I recently used it as a pop of color for the walls in a mud-room that was visible in an all-neutral kitchen.
4. SW Basil
I used this color in a powder bath and really loved the look of a true, less muted green. I know sage greens have been all of the rage, but I love all greens- especially this one.
3. SW Shoji White
This is my favorite warm white. It gets rave reviews from designers and it’s easy to see why. It’s important to consider that your lighting in any room where you’re looking to use Shoji White. It may be too warm for a west facing room.
2. SW Tricorn black
The perfect counterpart to my number one color, I love tricorn black for some big contrast. Recently I’ve used it on an island and built-ins, and it truly never disappoints.
1. SW Snowbound
If I could have a holy grail paint color, this would totally be it. It’s the paint color I chose for the Lauer Haus project because it’s such a good, neutral, bright white. When you have an open space that spans throughout the front and back of a home, it’s important to consider a paint color with more neutral undertones. As much as I love warmer or cooler tones, either one can be overwhelming during certain times of the day. So, I love colors like Snowbound because they are truly so versatile. I have used this color in several other homes with open concepts and my clients are never disappointed.
If you’re not sure about a certain color I recommend getting a sample, although these have been harder to come by. Even if you can only get your hands on a larger-scale peel and stick, this is often a lot easier to use for decision making. I’m also a proponent for hiring a designer who can help guide you! The cost of hiring a designer is comparable to the cost of painting a room and they will guide you on undertones, lighting, and complementary colors.
