Whether you’re starting over and want a clean slate or are preparing your home for the market, a fresh coat of paint can work wonders. Here are a few paint colors McEnearney agents suggested for freshening up your walls:
McCormick Lady Nicole
A light greige (gray-beige, depending on how the light hits it), this McCormick Paint color works great in a bathroom against dark woods and white trim. It gives a hint of color without washing out the walls and would coordinate well with dark grays or greens.
Sherwin Williams City Loft
The new “it” color, City Loft is a greige with a tan undertone. It’s a great choice for hallways, stairways and family rooms that you want to have a neutral feel.
Behr Manhattan Mist
A go-to gray with blue undertones, Behr’s Manhattan Mist would bode well with blues and white trim in bedrooms and dining rooms, without giving an overly-blueish feel.
Benjamin Moore Decorator White
This white with gray undertones color is the perfect selection of an off-white paint suitable for painting crown molding or chair-railing as an accent to grays.
Behr Burnished Clay
Grab this one if you’re seeking a complementary option to darker tans with yellow undertones. While the name may suggest a harsh red, you’ll find Burnished Clay far from it and a rather calming tan instead.
Sherwin Williams Mindful Gray
Sherwin Williams’ Mindful Gray is a light, airy and warm mid-tone gray that will make your molding pop. It’s a very neutral color without any other color undertones. This selection would look great against white cabinets and countertops, beadboard and trim.
Benjamin Moore Swiss Coffee
Part of Benjamin Moore’s Off-White Collection, this very pale-cream color with gray undertones is a solid choice for someone who seeks white walls that aren’t blindingly bright.
Sherwin Williams Nebulous White
For homes that don’t have a lot of natural white, consider Sherwin Williams’ Nebulous White. A warm gray paint, it complements any color around it and gives a very calming effect.
