Though neutral, I’m often asked what paint colors I have used in my home. I preface this with the note that each home has different lighting conditions that impact the way a color falls. However, sharing a photo and name of the color below. I highly recommend reading my post, How to Pick the Perfect Paint Color, here, to follow a guided process to determining the best hues for your home.
All Interior Walls + Trim
Cloud Cover by Benjamin Moore
Cloud Cover by Benjamin Moore is the perfect neutral, off white to bring a sense of calm to any space vs. a stark white. I tested many hues and it was truly the one that met in the middle – not too cool, not too warm and works in all of my rooms no matter the light exposure. Perfectly contrasts with a true white trim, too! I utilized the eggshell finish.
Pure White by Sherwin Williams
Pure White by Sherwin Williams is a reliable white for good reason! It pulls right in the middle with no undertones and allows for the trim to really contrast against the walls in a semi-gloss finish. Our ceilings are in a flat finish.
Powder Room
Undersea by Behr
Undersea by Behr is an excellent moody blue that doesn’t pull purple or green! We painted over the tile, so important to note these details if doing so:
- Tile Paint Color: Behr Undersea
- Tile Paint Type: Behr Scuff Defense (2 coats)
- Tile Paint Primer: Behr White Bonding Interior/Exterior Primer (2 coats)

Sitting Room Shelves
Blue Spruce by Benjamin Moore
Blue Spruce by Benjamin Moore is such a crisp, timeless true muted slate blue that falls into a blue/green/gray family of muted vs. purple. I tried many, many hues and this fell right in the middle!
Nursery
Cape Blue by Benjamin Moore
Cape Blue by Benjamin Moore turned out to be the best muted, soft blue that falls into the blue-gray family while still maintaining its hue. Greg DIY’d these shelves (full details here) and utilized the Advance line of their paint to hold up on the shelving.
