Regardless if you’re sprucing up your bedroom walls or painting the whole house, here are the top 10 most popular interior paint colors for any room.
Best Paint Color Criteria
First and foremost, our goal is to save you time and money with this list. You shouldn’t spend all weekend ordering test patch swatches and driving to paint stores.
To simplify the process, the paint colors listed are fairly neutral, easy to match, and can be used in most rooms. Remember, every home is different and the amount of light in a room affects how colors look.
With this list of the best paint colors for your home, we’ll make the process as simple as possible. Let’s start with a shade that climbed from number ten to the top spot in a year’s time.
-
Origami White By Sherwin Williams
Sherwin Williams’ Origami White (SW 7636) is a balanced, modern wall color and our top pick for interior paint color this year. Certainly, it’s white with a slight tan undertone that can be a neutral backdrop for most rooms in your house.
But what we love most is Origami White’s versatility.
Indeed, the color has enough depth to work for large rooms with lots of sunlight while still being bright enough to open up smaller spaces. Not to mention, it finishes velvety smooth and seems to adapt well to both warm and cool lighting conditions.
All in all, Origami White’s unique warm hue is why many interior decor experts swear by it as the perfect neutral paint color. Underrated no more, this color exemplifies the fresh and inviting theme of the trendiest interior paint colors of the year.
-
Behr Blank Canvas (DC-003)
Blank Canvas (DC-003) is a warm white neutral that has earned its distinction as Behr’s 2023 color of the year. Not only is it an inviting light neutral paint color, it perfectly encompasses a fresh new start. Certainly something we can all use after the past few years of uncertainty.
Moreover, Behr’s Blank Canvas has an earthy tinge of brown which characterizes it as an off-white color. At the same time, it’s light enough of a white to contrast other neutrals. This makes it a great color for kitchen cabinets as well.
Indeed, this is the perfect interior paint color for entryways, hallways, and mudrooms in addition to most any room in your home.
No question, the latest color trends do away with cold white tones like Delicate White by PPG. Instead, we are seeing warmer neutrals like Blank Canvas and Origami White taking over this year.
Finally, it’s easy to coordinate and with an LRV of 84, it has just enough depth to contrast white trim and ceilings.
-
Benjamin Moore Classic Gray
Benjamin Moore Classic Gray (BM 1548) is a natural light warm gray color that registers as a sophisticated off-white on the walls of most rooms. A top paint color among designers, this can be used to paint the whole house, bedroom, living room, or kitchen.

Flexibility is key with this popular modern neutral interior color as it can be used on walls, cabinets, trim, or ceilings.

Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace
One of Benjamin Moore’s truest whites, Chantilly Lace (OC-65) is a crisp, clean interior color with slightly gray undertones used on trim, cabinets, and walls. In most rooms and lighting, it reads like a warm white and can be used on ceilings as well.
Now as one of the whitest whites, it may take a third or fourth coat when painting over most wall colors. Therefore, it’s no surprise that this popular shade has the same wall coverage issues as Sherwin’s Highly Reflective White and Behr’s Ultra Pure White. Nonetheless, it acts as a great contrasting trim color to other popular Benjamin Moore wall colors, Revere Pewter and Gray Owl.
-
Behr Swiss Coffee
Swiss Coffee 12 by Behr is another warm white that has a neutral base that may appear more creamy, yellow depending on room lighting or time of day. In any case, it’s Behr’s most popular interior paint shades, and test swatches can be found in most Home Depot stores.
Behr’s Swiss Coffee has a bit of a beige undertone and is a popular neutral hue for bedrooms, living rooms, basements, and family rooms.
-
Farrow and Ball Hague Blue
Hague Blue (No. 30) by Farrow Ball is a deep, darker blue-green that is a popular choice as an accent color or whole room color. Similar to SW Sea Salt, the color changes slightly in different interior lighting situations. It’s a rich and luxurious paint color that works well in a home office, dining room, or as a contrasting kitchen island cabinet color.
This popular Farrow & Ball color pairs beautifully with white trim or bright furniture pieces as a moody backdrop. It also works well with brass fixtures or a white tile bathroom as a classic shade of blue.
-
Gray Owl By Benjamin-Moore
One of the best-selling paints for Benjamin Moore in recent years, Gray Owl (2137-60) is a highly versatile warm-ish gray paint color. While blue, colder undertones may come out in certain lights, it’s still a very popular living room or kitchen paint color.
It can also be used in hallways and contrasts well with crisp white trim and flat white ceilings as a wall color. Certainly, it reflects light well in a room. On the other hand, it won’t make a small room look bigger like some of the white colors above.

Interior Paint Colors By Brand
Oftentimes, you’ll be considering paint colors from specific brands as a homeowner.
In this case, your paint crew may have a preferred painting brand or a specific paint store may be located nearby. The most frequented stores include colors from specific paint brands. These include Sherwin Williams, Benjamin Moore, Home Depot, or Lowes stores.
To make things easy, we’re going to highlight our best picks for interior paint colors from brands carried by each store.
Best Interior Color At Sherwin Williams
The top-selling paint color by Sherwin Williams is Agreeable Gray (SW 7029). This popular pick from Sherwin is a softer warm gray paint color that coordinates with most other paint colors.
The color is a balanced softer shade that goes with any home style. It’s often used as a wall color in living rooms, hallways, or staircases. This greige tone is best used on walls. Similarly, it pairs well with a variety of shades including white trim, greens, blues, teals, and virtually any contrasting warm paint color.
Did you know that Sherwin also carries some of our favorite exterior paint products? If you are painting exterior stucco or wood siding, their SuperPaint and Duration lines are solid picks.
Top Benjamin Moore Paint Color
We mentioned Chantilly Lace earlier but another top Benjamin Moore paint color is White Dove (OC-17). This is a classic style short shade of white that has a hint of warmth to it.
White Dove is a neutral favorite for homeowners and contractors, often used on interior trim, moldings, baseboards, and doors.
Home Depot’s Best Painting Color
Home Depot carries a few different paint color brands including Behr, PPG, and Glidden. We recommend Behr in particular for budget DIY painting projects like painting a small bedroom. Please note, paint offerings from big box stores are cheaper but the paint is “entry-level” when it comes to quality. Specifically, the coverage and finish of the paint will leave a lot to be desired.
The best interior paint color at home Depot is Behr White 52. It’s a cooler-toned white color that has enough of a tint to be categorized as an “off-white”. Likewise, this is most apparent when you pair it as a wall color with trim painted in a true or base white.
For exteriors, you can check our new trending house paint color list which includes Behr’s popular Polar Bear 75.
Lowes Interior Paint Colors
Lowes, as a whole, is a slightly nicer version of Home Depot but that comes with slightly higher prices and a limited selection. Nonetheless, Lowes carries known interior paint brands like Valspar and HGTV Home by Sherwin.
If you are confused about the difference between paint found at a Sherwin Williams paint store and the HGTV brand carried by Lowes, we are too. Likewise, it may worth a future blog post.
For now, we will highlight one nice aspect of this confusing corporate partnership. Most if not all Sherwin Williams paint color swatches can be picked up at Lowes. If you live closer to a Lowes versus a Sherwin Store like me, this is super useful.
As a general rule of thumb, you can always ask any paint store to mix colors for you from other brands. They all share the color mix codes with one another.

Valspar Paint Colors
A few recommended favorite paint colors from Valspar are as follows. Gilded Linen is a great warmer neutral, Summer Gray is a cooler off-white, and Oyster Pearl is another popular choice. We also like Granite Dust for kitchen cabinets or island accent pairings. Not to mention, Blissful Blue by Valspar is a homey bedroom color that contrasts well with white trim.

Quick and effective: 10 ideas for color accents in the interior
Tips
House in London. Office S&M project.
It is believed that the first use of color blocking was by the Dutch artist Piet Mondriaan, whose abstract paintings inspired, among others, Yves Saint Laurent. It is not surprising that, following the fashion industry, this technique has also penetrated into interior design. Decorators often combine 2-3 shades, painting in them not only the walls, but also the ceiling and furniture. However, often delicate local color accents are enough to achieve the wow effect. Here are some ideas that you can bring to life with a little paint and in just a couple of hours.
Apartment in Moscow. Project by Sveta Khabeeva.
Color Blocks
Brinjal #222, Yearbridhe Green #287, Pink Ground #202, Farrow & Ball will work here.
Color block wall décor is an excellent solution for both slightly refreshing and radically renovating the interior. To draw geometric shapes on the wall, you will need a brush, masking tape, paint residue or samples, and a few hours of free time.
Use this technique to highlight a specific area in the interior (for example, a relaxation or home office area in the living room or a dining area in the open space of the kitchen-living room).

Or try painting to highlight a particular piece of furniture, decor or architectural detail. For example, you can highlight a niche or an unsuccessful ledge with color.

Asymmetric Colors
Try to make some colors that are asymmetrical with respect to the architectural elements of the space, such as windows or doors. This technique will give a laconic space artistry and theatricality.
Light Bronze Green #123, Little Greene.
Colored headboard wall
This solution has several advantages. Firstly, paint helps to zone the bedroom space without unnecessary objects or structures. Secondly, the painted wall can visually serve as a headboard.
These are Tuscan Red #140, Nether Red #315, Stone Mid Cool #66, all Little Greene.
Luxurious snag
The interior designer in the photo decided to save on stucco molding and painted it with paint! The volume of the picture adds a light green outline drawn with a thin brush. By the way, the outstanding shade was not chosen by chance: green is the opposite color to pink and makes up a complementary combination with it - one of the most noticeable and spectacular on Itten's color wheel.
Design by decorator Aldous Bertram. Shades of Chemise No. 139, Garden No. 86, Loft White No. 222, all of them are Little Greene.
Work of art
Did you know that you can paint pictures with designer interior paints? Pick up a few paint swatches and create a large-scale modern-style interior work.
Wall painted in Cook's Blue #237, Farrow & Ball. Fireplace - Mazarine No. 256, Little Greene. To create a similar picture, shades Eating Room Red No. 43, Blazer No. 212, Down Pipe No. 26 are suitable, all Farrow & Ball.
Background for art objects
If there are no problems with the selection of graphics or painting, paint can serve as an ideal background for a work of art. So, for example, graphics look expressive on an ocher and complex green background, and painting on a deep dark blue.
Railings #31, Farrow & Ball.
Creative Ceiling
Matte White Ceiling is a win-win for most rooms. But not just for children. A fabulous ceiling can be decorated, limiting itself not even to a whole can, but to a sample of paint. Note: masking tape will help to apply even stripes.
Incarnadine #248, Farrow & Ball.
Refresh your kitchen set
A white kitchen is a classic, but if you're looking for an update, try painting a few sections in a contrasting color. And since white goes well with any tones, it will be simply impossible to make a mistake with the choice of shade.
St Giles Blue #280, Arsenic #214, all Farrow & Ball.
Dark bottom
Dark shades always give the interior a modern look, emphasize the architecture of the space. By painting the lower part of the wall in a dark shade, you will not only create a stylish contrast in the interior, but also visually increase the height of the ceiling and hide traces of everyday stains, from which no entrance area is immune.
St Giles Blue #280, Arsenic #214, all Farrow & Ball.
Zoning element
Snow-white and gray interiors often radiate excessive coldness and severity. A bright accent can dramatically change the perception of space. For example, a doorway painted in a bright color will not only “cheer up” the interior, but also help to correct a long, narrow room.
Heat No. 24, Little Greene is suitable here.

Painted walls in the interior: 27 magical ideas
The conditional disadvantages of using this material include the required even surface of the walls on which the paint is applied, otherwise all the bumps and cracks will be visible. Why conditional? Because many surface textures imitate such irregularities, for example, if you want to preserve and even emphasize the naturalness of concrete or brick walls in a loft space.
Photo: happy-horrors. org
Paint color combinations of different shades - countless, as well as geometric patterns, paint combinations with other materials. Having painted all the walls in the room in a dark shade, you will immediately emphasize the strict style in the design of the apartment, hide small irregularities. A large macrame-style panel above the bed warms the interior and softens the cold of the main background of the bedroom decoration.

Against the sand-colored walls, the slightly darker gypsum decorative trim details decorate the head of the bed, and do not stand out too brightly against the empty wall. True, such a wall no longer looks empty. Very pretty, very pastel.

Bright colors in the bedroom are good in a reasonable amount. You can make part of one wall red and support this color with the same bright blanket on the bed. The black elements in the room no longer look gloomy, and the pale shade of the rest of the walls no longer seems featureless, blurry and inexpressive.

A solution for choleric and creative people: one wall is painted yellow, the other red, on the third we make multi-colored splashes of colors from a bright palette. Simple, artistic, fun!

Vertical multi-colored stripes will have to be done very carefully, according to a stencil. The main thing in this option is to choose a combination of shades that will look like an artistic canvas. No need to get carried away and make the entire wall striped - a small area is enough. In a room with low ceilings, this technique will visually stretch the space up.

The door is also a surface, and it can participate in the creation of a geometric colorful composition. It is enough to evenly stick strips of masking tape and carefully paint over the middle part with yellow or any other color.

Gradient wall painting is only possible for experienced craftsmen. Just in case, make sure that the performer makes the part of the wall at the head of the headboard lighter. Even a large bed will then seem less cumbersome. Or you can order technical supervision of the repair and enjoy the finished result.

Here the gradient, or ombre effect, rises from a more saturated bottom to a lighter top. So you can visually raise the ceiling and draw the main attention to the decor at the bottom of the wall.

Here is the same technique, but the strokes are more like paint streaks. In pastel colors it looks much more interesting than in catchy colors - it's checked. Lavender shades of decor and textiles support the idea.

You can also make large strokes of paint on part of the wall surface so that there is no visual enumeration.

You can bring the idea of uneven coloring to seeming absurdity and imitate crumbling plaster. Yes, it's fashionable. The main advantages are that imaginary plaster will not fall on your head and the walls can always be repainted.

The paint goes well on walls and with other materials such as wallpaper. If their pattern is light, dim - wallpaper the upper part of the wall. At the bottom, white paint is appropriate, to match the main background of the wallpaper.
