It’s always fun repainting the home, and deciding which colors of the season to choose for the bedroom’s or living area’s accent walls is a welcome problem. Yet, if frequently switching up paints isn’t for you, there are timeless colors that transcend trends you may decide to opt for. These hues don’t grow old. They can be used differently, either on walls or as accents or trims, always maintaining an elegant aesthetic. Let’s look at a few of them.
White
Is there a color as timeless as white? It’s classic and fresh at the same time. When paired with black, they form a powerful juxtaposition that can weather the ages. However, you also need to know the kind of white you want. Some people prefer a stark and bright white, while others lean more toward warmer tones. The type you choose should complement your furnishings. For the walls, a few white paints worth looking at include Clare’s stark white Fresh Kicks, the warmer Glacier White by Benjamin Moore, or Farrow & Ball’s Dimpse.
Gray-Green
Green reminds us of our place in nature; it’s a color that’s been around us and soothed us through millennia. A tone comprising medium-green and gray conjures soothing, subdued vibrations making this color ideal for bedrooms, bathrooms, and foyers. Look at Benjamin Moore’s Saybrook Sage, Farrow & Ball’s Mizzle, or Dirty Martini by Clare; they’ll help you create a mental image of where gray-green fits in your space.
Navy Blue
is a very popular color, and for good reason, it’s soothing and more than that, the navy variety has a classic vibe about it that goes well with soft and hard furnishings. It also works with cool whites and warm browns. It resonates with your metallic accessories and doesn’t look out of place around the new wave of the matte black hardware trend. It’s a color you paint once and don’t think about for years This color is great for bedrooms, bathroom vanities, and kitchen islands. Check out the mild Hale Navy by Benjamin Moore, and compare it to Goodnight Moon by Clare, Cavalry by PPG, and other manufacturers to gain a perspective of the tonal variation available to you.
