Selecting Paint Colors for Your Home with Benjamin Moore

Bringing new life to your home with updated colors is a great way to renew your love for your space. However, choosing the right paint colors for the project can be challenging. Here are some helpful tips to minimize stress and lead you to the perfect color(s) for your project.

Benjamin Moore offers more than 3,500 paint colors. That’s a lot of choices, so how do you narrow them down to the right ones? Let’s start with the essential tip of identifying the colors you love and don’t love (sort of a no-brainer, right).

Armed with your primary color(s), explore magazines, catalogs, and the internet to find more specific inspiration. We often overlook the color schemes and treatments in a catalog or magazine. Remember that talented designers constantly create these staged shots, so don’t be afraid to borrow from their inspiration.

Begin to collect examples that speak to your style, and share them with friends and family that appreciate your taste to get their input. We may miss additional opportunities and alternatives if we are too close to a project.

Selecting paint colors for a room type is not just choosing a wall color. Remember that you might have window and baseboard trim to paint, ceilings, fixture trim, and accent walls that would benefit by being a complementary or contrasting color.

Once you feel your direction, it’s time to visit one of the three Cardinal Home Center locations. Bring your inspiration folder and spend time with one of Cardinal’s Benjamin Moore experts. They will make the process fun and friendly.
