Ten Interior Paint Colors Selected for Immediate Home Transformations

The report asked designers for their preferred shades for instant updates.

A recent report in the report outlines a selection of paint colors recommended by interior designers for rapid home renovations. The publication identified a fresh coat of paint as a significant tool in the arsenal of renovation methods. It sought recommendations from members of the AD100 and the AD PRO Directory regarding interior and exterior hues that facilitate immediate changes to living spaces.

The report highlights the use of mint green as a base hue in a historic San Francisco residence that was redesigned by the firm Another Human. Los Angeles-based designer Leah Ring, who is known for her use of bold colors, expressed a preference for Benjamin Moore’s Lido Green. According to the report, this shade provides a strong statement while remaining light enough to accommodate the layering of other colors. In the specific San Francisco living room referenced, this green served as a neutral foundation for furnishings in royal purple, deep red, and olive green.

Another designer featured in the report, Alisa Bloom, selected a green-gray shade to complement a collection of vintage Italian furniture in a Washington, DC, home. Bloom, who practices in New York and Chicago, chose Gray Cashmere by Benjamin Moore for its ability to act as a sophisticated neutral host. The report notes that this color is a soft, muddy green with blue undertones, allowing it to shift in appearance throughout the day, sometimes reading more blue and at other times revealing more green.

In Austin, the Ashby Collective studio applied a warm neutral to the millwork in a primary bedroom. Designer Cori Pfaff of the Austin studio prefers Benjamin Moore’s Litchfield Gray for its ability to allow a home’s character and architectural details to stand out. The report states that this shade brightens the space without appearing stark, creating an atmosphere of warmth and calm. Pfaff used this color on the millwork and vanity in the referenced bedroom.

San Francisco-based Regan Baker Design identified Benjamin Moore’s White Dove as its signature color for a historic family home in Southern California. Founder Regan Baker described this creamy white hue as warm without tipping into yellow, and crisp without feeling cold or clinical. The report indicates that Baker returns to this color project after project because it serves as a backdrop for custom millwork, art, and other color moments within a room.

The piece compiles these specific recommendations to illustrate how particular shades can alter the perception of a space. Each designer cited a specific product from the Benjamin Moore palette, linking the choice to the desired effect on the surrounding architecture and furnishings. The report presents these selections as examples of how paint can function as a primary design element in residential projects.

Takeaway: Benjamin Moore offers specific shades including Lido Green, Gray Cashmere, Litchfield Gray, and White Dove that designers cite for their ability to shift in tone or provide neutral backdrops for other decor elements.
