The Paint
Classic Burgundy, Benjamin Moore
How You Can Use It
“Color helps age this home office, in a good way. You’d never know it was new construction. We used it on the built-in, the molding and the walls for a warm and lived-in feel, like an Old English study.”
— Betsy Helm and Kiley Baun, Shophouse, Philadelphia, PA
The Paint
Brinjal, Farrow & Ball
How You Can Use It
“A moody tone, not too purple or too red, was what my client was after for her home office. Dark orchid had the right mix of both and I went, literally, all in — on the walls, trim, ceiling and built-ins. It’s definitely a statement, though the color keeps it cozy. Her orange velvet sofa and floral shade brighten the space.”
— Mary Patton, @marypattondesign, Houston, TX
The Paint
Red Ochre, Valspar
How You Can Use It
“The family heirloom dining chairs are a favorite feature in this home, so I chose a paint color to complement them. A crimson shade amplifies the warm wood tones throughout the room — it all feels very cozy.”
— Tobi Wright, InsideWright, New York, NY
The Paint
Ravishing Red, Benjamin Moore
How You Can Use It
“A feisty color can make even a laundry room a place you want to be. This classic red has a slight black undertone that complements the other blacks in the room. Plaid wallpaper boosts the whimsy while still allowing red to be the star.”
— Betsy Helm and Kiley Baun, @shophousedesign, Philadelphia, PA
The Paint
Stop, Sherwin-Williams
How You Can Use It
“To update this powder room, I put in a bold brushstroke wallpaper and pulled out an energetic orangey red for the vanity. Walking in always feels unexpected and thrilling, like spotting a cardinal.”
— Krysten Ledet, @krysten.ledet.interiors, Lafayette, LA
The Paint
How You Can Use It
"While I wanted a classic red front door, I was cautious — some reds have too much brown and wind up seeming dark and dull, more barn door than red wagon. This one is bright, happy, and just the right amount of preppy for my navy-and-white house."
— Holly Mathis, Holly Mathis Interiors, Brenham, TX
The Paint
Fort York Red, Fusion Mineral Paint
How You Can Use It
“A bright barn-ish red felt just right for the farmhouse-y chest in my family room. It’s the perfect country red, no purple or orange. The amaryllis I put on top seems like it was made to match!”
— Susan Handler, Saw Nail and Paint blog, Seattle, WA
The Paint
Cayenne, Sherwin-Williams
How You Can Use It
“My clients were divided when choosing a color for this living room. One liked the idea of a classic hue to match the style of the home, a center-hall Colonial, and the other wanted a fun, modern vibe. This dark orange is a nod to traditional red yet still unexpected — a perfect compromise.”
— Stephanie Rapp, Stephanie Rapp Interiors, Weston, CT
The Paint
Spiced Apple Cider, Benjamin Moore
How You Can Use It
“My guest room needed more warmth and personality, and it got both when I painted the walls deep coral. On chilly fall evenings, it’s just right.”
— Whitney Durham, @whitneydurhaminteriors, Atlanta, GA
The Paint
Habanero Pepper, Benjamin Moore
How You Can Use It
“Half bathrooms are perfect places to be bold. This orangey red with a spot-on name brings unexpected color to a traditional vanity.”
— Robin Gannon, Robin Gannon Interiors & Home, Lexington, MA
The Paint
How You Can Use It
“The homeowner was craving a pop of color but didn’t want too big of a commitment. Painting the dresser coral did the trick. It’s really pretty with the dresser’s gold hardware.”
— Emily Larkin, EJ Interiors, Dallas, TX
The Paint
Glamorous, Behr
How You Can Use It
“This glossy, bright berry is perfect for a powder room where we wanted to make a strong, chic color statement — like wearing a great pink lipstick.”
— Megan Jackson Meder, The Sitting Room, Excelsior, MN
The Paint
Peony, Benjamin Moore
How You Can Use It
“My daughter, who’s 25, deserves a color just as fun and vibrant as she is for her bedroom when she visits, and a deep pink is a great fit. I painted the other walls white and went with a monochromatic navy rug to let the color be the star of the show.”
— Courtney Hanig, Courtney Hanig Interiors, Nantucket, MA
The Paint
Exuberant Pink, Sherwin-Williams
How You Can Use It
"The original yellowy wood finish of this thrifted piece made it super dated. Then I put on a few coats of glossy fuchsia, and suddenly the brass pulls popped and the entire chest looked electric — instant glam!”
— Crystal Lorraine Sutton, @thedriftwoodhome, Alexandria, VA
The Paint
Beauty Queen, Behr
How You Can Use It
“Playful dog wallpaper kicked off the redo of this bathroom, designed for a young girl. The black-and-white pattern paved the way for a big pop of color on the vanity. Fuchsia is vibrant and hip, and it’s a shade she won’t outgrow.”
— Shannon Weller, Tracy Lynn Studio, San Diego, CA
The Paint
Dragon Fruit, Clark + Kensington
How You Can Use It
“I wanted to give my little girl a pink room in a shade feisty enough to match her personality. Magenta on one wall is all the color this space needs. I hung medallions before I painted, so it looks like a wall of flowers!”
— Carmel Greer, District Design, Washington, D.C.
The Paint
Be My Valentine, Dunn-Edwards
How You Can Use It
“If a paint color could channel a spunky girl, it would be this flamingo pink. Everyone in her family did a happy dance when they saw it. While it’s a daring choice, balanced with white and natural wood, it works.”
— Stephanie Lalley, Lucy Interior Design, Minneapolis, MN
The Paint
Sweet Taffy and Deep Carnation, Benjamin Moore
How You Can Use It
“If we’d done white trim and baseboards with these soft peony walls, it might have felt too sweet for our client’s home office. Hot pink packs a punch and makes it all pop.”
— Taylor Tanimoto and Melanie Coddington, Coddington Design, Los Angeles, CA
The Paint
Bella Pink, Sherwin-Williams
How You Can Use It
“When you see a house with a pink door, you know the person who lives there is fun. It took a lot of searching to find a shade that definitely reads pink but isn’t too in your face. This one’s actually pretty neutral.”
— Abbey Eilermann, @daily_disco, St. Louis, MO
The Paint
Sweet Taffy, Benjamin Moore
How You Can Use It
“I ran with my clients’ ‘more is more’ attitude and painted their laundry room walls and cabinets bubblegum pink. It makes washing and folding a little more fun. Now they say they really look forward to laundry day!”
— Max Humphrey, @maxwhumphrey, Portland, OR
The Paint
Juicy Peach, Valspar
How You Can Use It
“Instead of buying a headboard, I painted the arch on the wall behind our bed with some leftovers from a previous project. The color provides instant gratification: Once it’s on the wall, you feel alive and optimistic and peppy. That’s helpful since we’re now empty nesters!”
— Lilly Ortiz, @lillithortiz, Orlando, FL
The Paint
Innocence, Sherwin-Williams
How You Can Use It
“A teen who loves pink lives here, and I wanted her to keep loving it until she leaves for college. The shade we chose reminds me of a bouquet of peonies, because it’s timelessly gorgeous.”
— Nicole White, @nicolewhitedesignsinteriors, Sunrise, FL
The Paint
Middleton Pink, Farrow & Ball
How You Can Use It
“Some muted pinks come off as juvenile, but not this one. It looks super sophisticated on the cabinetry in this home office. You can spin the color any way you want — boho, glam — and it works every time.”
— Gabriela Laboy, @ohara_interiors, Minneapolis, MN
The Paint
Captured Heart, Clark + Kensington
How You Can Use It
“The builder I worked with on this house thought I was crazy when I picked such a vibrant color. But I knew white furnishings would calm it down. It’s a kid’s room, it should feel exciting and happy.”
— Anna Gaines Posner, Anna Gaines Interiors, Charlottesville, VA
The Paint
Roseland, Glidden
How You Can Use It
“Because this breakfast room is small, it needed a big personality. I like anything Old-Hollywood-inspired, and this glam salmon gets compliments from practically everyone.”
— Charity D’Amato, Studio Chartreuse, Cleveland, OH
The Paint
Sockeye, Sherwin-Williams
How You Can Use It
“My clients wanted something different from traditional pink for their daughter’s nursery, so I chose this vibrant, peachy coral. Using the color on just the accent wall made it extra special.”
— Amber Guyton, @blessedlittlebungalow, Atlanta, GA
The Paint
She Loves Pink, Behr
How You Can Use It
“Painting my dingy red brick fireplace perky pink took only about an hour and a half, and the payoff was instant. First I cleaned the brick with a damp cloth. Then I applied two layers of satin-finish paint in a dabbing motion — to get all the nooks and crannies — with a 2-inch nylon brush, waiting 15 minutes between coats. For the third, I just brushed on the paint.”
— Jenika Kurtz Cuadra, J. Kurtz Design, Los Angeles, CA
The Paint
Pale Jasper, Dunn-Edwards
How You Can Use It
“I wanted to highlight the character of my living room and find a color soft enough to get my boyfriend on board! This pink is warm and not too bright. Putting it on an accent wall brought all the elements in the space together.”
— Danielle Roxanne Nagel, Dazey Den Design, Los Angeles, CA
The Paint
Jovial, Sherwin-Williams
How You Can Use It
“This might be a toddler’s room, but the parents were into the coral shade as much as she was. Painting a triangular section was an affordable, nonpermanent way to add character. I loved hearing the little girl shout, ‘Wow, look at the shapes!’ when she first walked in.”
— Ryan Connolly, @_rcarchitects, Brooklyn, NY
The Paint
One to Remember, Behr
How You Can Use It
“Pink can be a tough sell, but one with a hint of orange keeps it from straying into bubblegum territory. This warm blush is a nice mix of modern and traditional.”
— Kevin Francis O’Gara, Kevin Francis Design, Atlanta, GA
The Paint
Cockleshell, Behr
How You Can Use It
“This shade of blush makes me happy because it reminds me of the dahlias in my wedding bouquet. It also really suits the room’s original black and white tile floor. I continued it up onto the sloped ceiling, which helps the space look larger.”
— Emily Cosnotti, The Sweet Beast blog, Pittsburgh, PA
The Paint
Ferrous, Behr
How You Can Use It
“The couple who lives in this house didn’t know if they were having a boy or a girl. The clay color, inspired by the burnt orange in the rug, works for either. And decals make it youthful. Because it’s not a traditional nursery choice, it won’t feel babyish as their child grows. They had a girl. I hear she’s pretty happy here!”
— Coby Starck, @cobystarckdesign, Victoria, British Columbia
The Paint
Myrtle Beach, Benjamin Moore
How You Can Use It
“Southwest-style floor tiles from Cement Tile Shop inspired me to use a terra-cotta hue on the wall. It’s intense, so I toned it down by painting the top part of the wall white.”
— Pamela Lin-Tam, @urbanismdesigns, Sunnyvale, CA
The Paint
Rose Ash, Pratt & Lambert
How You Can Use It
“When we finished decorating this guest room, meant for the homeowner’s grandchildren, she loved it so much, she wondered if we should turn it into the master bedroom. The aged pink makes the headboard’s fabric and the dresser really pop, yet it’s cozy, like being wrapped in a blanket.”
— Jenn Feldman, Jenn Feldman Designs, Los Angeles, CA
The Paint
Rennie’s Rose, Dunn-Edwards
How You Can Use It
“These homeowners are into purple, so I put a spin on it in their guest room — a dusty rose straight out of a Palm Springs sunset. They joke that they like it so much, they might move in.”
— Michelle Boudreau, Michelle Boudreau Design, Palm Springs, CA
The Paint
Cinder Rose, Farrow & Ball
How You Can Use It
“Pink kitchen cabinets may not be for everyone, but the color worked wonders in an unexciting butler’s pantry. Continuing the pink onto the wall above boosts the boldness even more.”
— Harmony Grogan, Pluck Architecture, Austin, TX
The Paint
In the Pink, Sherwin-Williams
How You Can Use It
“To make my client’s little vanity memorable, I had it painted strawberry-ice-cream pink — a shade I pulled from the wallpaper — and then added crystal knobs. It’s never failed to get oohs and aahs from visitors.”
— Jennifer Strickler, Jennifer Strickler Design, LLC, Tulsa, OK
The Paint
Cinder Rose, Farrow & Ball
How You Can Use It
“My house’s traditional taupe siding felt a bit blah, but I didn’t want to repaint the entire exterior. A dusty pink on the front door was transformative. Pastel shades are really having a moment. And giving people directions is super easy — I just say it’s the pink-door house!”
— Allison Crawford, Allison Crawford Design, Austin, TX
The Paint
Angelic, Sherwin-Williams
How You Can Use It
“This baby pink reminds me of the clouds you see at sunset. I paired it with light teals and white for a soft, pretty look in this little girl’s room, but it would be really striking next to navy or dark gray.”
— Kirsten Krason, House of Jade Interiors, South Jordan, UT
The Paint
Romance, Sherwin-Williams
How You Can Use It
“This is a warm pink, like the kind you see in sunsets, which is why it works in lots of different spaces. Here it adds a bit of fun in a mostly white bathroom. I could also see it pepping up an entryway or a small den.”
— Jennifer Barron, Jennifer Barron Interiors, Houston, TX
The Paint
Koral Kicks, Sherwin-Williams
How You Can Use It
“We live in a neighborhood that has a bunch of brightly colored front doors, but none are quite like our pink one. It stands out against the sage siding, calls attention to our cute front porch, and, during the holidays, makes decorations look even better.”
— Tauni Everett, homeowner, South Jordan, UT
The Paint
Fired Up, Behr
How You Can Use It
“My husband picked this burnt orange for our bedroom, and at first I wasn’t wild about it — with the dark furniture we had, it felt too earthy for me. Once we swapped in light-color furniture and yellow accents, though, it looked lively and fun. Now it’s one of my favorite colors.”
— Amanda Louise Campbell, Amanda Louise Interiors, Greenville, SC
The Paint
New Dawn and Deep Sea Green, Benjamin Moore
How You Can Use It
“This vibrant orange was inspired by flowers blooming in the yard. My clients’ neighbors have since dubbed it ‘The Tangerine Dream.’ For a striking contrast, I picked the opposite on the color wheel for the door and porch, dark blue green.”
— Amy Jameson, Jameson Interiors, Austin, TX
The Paint
Ghost Ranch, Backdrop
How You Can Use It
“After a trip to Mexico City, I was inspired to paint my bedroom terra-cotta. The effect is really warm and grounding. I just did the one wall to keep the small space from feeling too dark.”
— Maya Goldfine, @mayagoldfine, San Francisco, CA
The Paint
Nairobi Dusk, Behr
How You Can Use It
“When I was in the Moroccan desert on a trip a few years ago, I saw beautiful shimmering sunsets. I re-created them in my bathroom! In the evening light, the color turns a gorgeous luminescent orange that instantly transports you to the golden hour in the Sahara.”
— Tommy Lei, @mybelonging, Los Angeles, CA
The Paint
Honeycomb, Sherwin-Williams
How You Can Use It
“I had to paint these cabinets a golden color to cheer up what was a dark and drab kitchen. This pick isn’t too green or too yellow, and it bounces back any light it gets. It’s the color of sunshine!”
— Lauren Elder, @laurenashleyelder, Nashville, TN
The Paint
Sun Valley, Benjamin Moore
How You Can Use It
“The rest of this home is full of color — I couldn’t leave out the laundry room! This is a true, sunny yellow that doesn’t need a ton of natural light to look great. No windows, no problem.”
— Kelly Finley, @joystreetdesign, Atlanta, GA
The Paint
English Daisy, Behr
How You Can Use It
“This warm and inviting yellow reflects natural light really well, so it makes the room feel extra sunny. I painted an arch shape rather than the whole wall to add a little excitement.”
— Abbey Chiavario, @abbeymadethis, Nashville, TN
The Paint
Yellow Groove, Behr
How You Can Use It
“The wood built-ins in my home office were dark and uninventive — the total opposite of my bold, colorful style. To make them more me, I went with the most vibrant yellow I could find. You can’t help but smile when you see it.”
— Jenna Pilant, @jennapilant, San Diego, CA
The Paint
Eye Catching, HGTV Home by Sherwin-Williams
Small Modern Bathroom With Yellow Mural
“When I saw this yellow on an apron in IKEA, I knew it was the ideal sunny-but-not-blinding shade for the tiny bathroom in an RV we rent out that sits on our farm. I freehanded the mural with a level and a coffee cup lid. Guests have asked about the color so often that I might need to include it in our listing!”
— Else Kerkmann, @else.kerkmann, Bend, OR
The Paint
Buzz-In, Behr
How You Can Use It
“I had a Goldilocks moment when choosing a color for the front door of my 1950s bungalow. One yellow was too pineapple-y, and another, too golden. This sunny shade gets it just right!”
—Melissa Morgan, Melissa Morgan Design, Costa Mesa, CA
The Paint
Cheerful, Benjamin Moore
How You Can Use It
“Painting cabinets an exuberant color neverxafails to make them look special, so don’t be afraid. The yellow in this mudroom is bright — it’s great next to the gray wallpaper — but the warmth means it’s not shocking.”
— Emily Fuhrman, Sage & Ginger, New Canaan, CT
The Paint
Lady Ophelia, Valspar
How You Can Use It
“As much as I love incorporating family heirlooms into new spaces, the original dark wood of this china cabinet was too stuffy for my client’s crafting room. A couple of coats of citrus yellow paint cheered it right up!”
— Amanda Louise Campbell, Amanda Louise Interiors, Greenville, SC
The Paint
Yellowcake, Farrow & Ball
How You Can Use It
“Once I hung the art my kids and I painted, I had to bring my piano up to par. Vivid yellow is a great complement, like the sun with a rainbow. To preserve some original character, I left part of the front unpainted.”
— Kristin Gambaccini, Kristin Gambaccini Blog, Medina, OH
The Paint
Pineapple Mousse, Valspar
How You Can Use It
“Instead of blowing a bundle on new cabinets for this client’s kitchen, I brought the sunshine with paint. Prep is everything when you redo stained cabinets — if you don’t sand till they’re supersmooth and then prime them, the paint could chip. A satin finish is easy to wipe down and also hides imperfections that glossy ones tend to highlight.”
— Amanda Louise Campbell, Amanda Louise Interiors, Greenville, SC
The Paint
Sunburst Yellow, Rust-Oleum
How You Can Use It
“I found this mudroom bench at an antiques shop, painted black with stenciled fruit — like an ’80s crafts project gone wrong. Bold yellow spray paint gave it instant coolness and energy, especially next to the dark blue and red wallpaper.”
— Elizabeth Baumgartner, Little Black Door Designs, St. Louis, MO
The Paint
Acorn Squash, PPG Paints
How You Can Use It
“Daffodil yellow is special to my client because it was her grandmother’s favorite color. Once we painted the custom cabinets, we put in a hot pink pendant and leafy wallpaper to create an extra-happy place. Sometimes she sneaks in here with a glass of wine!”
— Katrina Porter, Katrina Porter Designs, Mountain Brook, AL
The Paint
Solarium, Behr
How You Can Use It
“This living room needed a wow factor, and painting the fireplace seemed like the obvious choice. But why stop there? I kept the brightness going with an orange chair and rug. Now this spot is filled with energy!”
— Amanda Louise Campbell, Amanda Louise Interiors, Greenville, SC
The Paint
English Yellow, Annie Sloan
How You Can Use It
“Since this is a vacation house we rent out, my husband and I decided to try something adventurous we wouldn’t usually do at home. Painting the honey-oak cabinets sunshine yellow gave the space that cheerful Florida feel. It’s the first thing guests comment on!”
— Kelly Heath, homeowner, Davenport, FL
How You Can Use It
Lemon Twist, Sherwin-Williams
How You Can Use It
“As soon as I saw the homeowner’s bright yellow dining room chairs, I knew I wanted to do an accent wall in a near-matching color. I love how it peeks through the open-back bookcase.”
— Hannah Masterson, Woodland House Design LLC, Nashville, TN
The Paint
Babouche, Farrow & Ball
How You Can Use It
“The dining room in my New Orleans home doesn’t have windows, so I brightened it up with yellow. The shade reminds me of Sunday brunches with friends — I call this our mimosa room!”
— Dabito, Old Brand New, Los Angeles, CA
The Paint
Golden Appeal, Dunn-Edwards
How You Can Use It
“Since this is a play area, we wanted a cheerful mood. We chose this shade of yellow because it is so vibrant. It’s like that victory dance a kid does when they win a game, as a color.”
— Golnaz Motamedi and Sarit Saruri, Reliance Design Build, Los Angeles, CA
The Paint
Glitzy Gold, by Sherwin-Williams
How You Can Use It
“We get a lot of gray skies in Oregon, and I wanted my dining room to have a sunny-summer-morning feeling all year long. Golden yellow did the trick — even friends who don’t like yellow like this one.”
— Hannah Hacker, Adapt Design, Portland, OR
