Soothing Blues
Benjamin Moore’s pick for 2021 is Aegean Teal, which is a mix of blue, gray, and green. It gives off relaxing vibes and would look especially wonderful in a space with a farmhouse-chic aesthetic.
Green
Add some drama and high style with Cape Verde. It’s on-trend and pairs beautifully with blush and coral. A sample of this color is available here → Sherwin Williams Cape Verde Sample
Exterior Home Painting – Earth Tones
Sherwin-Williams’s Color of the Year, Urbane Bronze, is a warm bronze that was inspired by nature. It would be right at home with natural textiles, stone accents, and greenery in a room that doubles as an indoor sanctuary. We feel more relaxed already.

Quick Tips for Choosing the Right Paint Color for Your Home
Choosing the right paint color can be frustrating and tricky. Here are a few tips for getting it right:
1. Look for ideas in magazines, on Pinterest, or on home decorating websites
2. Start with an inspiration piece like an area rug, sofa, or bedding
3. Look at your favorite swatches in the actual room that you’ll be painting
4. Narrow down your choices to less than 5
5. Test the color(s) in the room that will be getting painted. You can use tester samples or peel-and-stick color samples
6. Look at the painted samples at various times of the day and on sunny and cloudy days. Lighting can make a color look quite different
7. There is no perfect paint color. If you end up hating the one that you choose, repainting isn’t that difficult so don’t stress out over it
