Dusty Miller


Dusty Mille by Benjamin Moore is growing with the gray trend. This is a very universal color that goes with so much! You can dress it up with black and burgundy to be contemporary or slow it down with warm browns and soft yellow.

The Freshness of Mint


Love, love, love Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream! This was actually my snack one day and decided to snap a picture of it because it was so beautiful! Anyway, greens are popular but not these particular hues. Be careful working with these - lighting is crucial with these undertones.

Some of the Best Benjamin Moore Browns


What can I say about these browns other than YUM!!! Don't you wish paint was available in scratch and sniff? Anyway, browns are just a good neutral to have. You can buddy up so many other colors with brown, just keep your undertones together.

Color For Your Nursery


So innocent. So light. So delicate. If you don't know the sex of your baby yet, consider anything in the green family. Once you find out what you're having, you can always 'girl' or 'boy' is up. I really like the Pale Celery.

Fishing Around for Color


How fun is this? This color palette is perfect to the kids bathroom. Blue with red towels would be great for both the boys and girls. Just use a really high quality paint such as Benjamin Moore Bath and Spa for those high humidity rooms such as bathrooms and spas.

Man Cave Colors


Don't forget to use a tinted primer when using any dark colors. It'll save you a coat or two.
