“Great gray for anything from a library to a bathroom, where it looks extra-crisp against white tiles or towels of almost any color.”

Raccoon Fur
2126-20 Benjamin Moore

“Deep, rich gray-brown makes dining room walls look delicious. Don’t be afraid to go dark—it’s so cozy.”

Glass Green
1214 Laura Ashley

“Perfect turquoise—bold and fun in a bathroom or bedroom. For drama, bring in red accessories. Or use in a high-gloss finish to repaint old furniture.”

Open Sky
MS283 Martha Stewart

“Pretty hue traditionally used on porch ceilings. For a great effect, bring it inside—indoor ceilings want to look like the sky, too.”
 

Shaker Beige
HC-45 Benjamin Moore

“Go-to neutral, like your favorite pair of khakis. Excellent in an entry hall, living room, or den.”

Queen Anne Pink
HC-60 Benjamin Moore
Nate Berkus’s go-to pink

“Soft pink that’s sophisticated without being too sugary. Perfect for bedrooms.”

Wainscot
MS189 Martha Stewart

“Just-right white for trim, molding, and beadboard puts across a vintage look—it will look like it’s been there forever.”
