One of the most common questions I get asked is "What is the paint color in that room?" I love sharing these colors because I think they're fabulous and would look good in anyone's home!
When you find a good paint color for your home, it can make all the difference in how you feel about your space. So, here we go!
This post was originally written back in 2014 and last updated in 2018 with the colors from my previous home.
Then in 2019, we moved into a new home, and if you're looking for those paint colors, you can find them here!
I wanted to put all the answers to "what color is that?" in one place to make things easier for you. Maybe you'll find a new color you love right here on this list!
Living Room & Entry Way Paint Color – Revere Pewter by Benjamin Moore
Our living room and entryway are both painted Revere Pewter by Benjamin Moore. (See more living room posts here and more entryway posts here.) My living room walls are definitely the most showcased walls in my home. It's actually two colors because of the board and batten, but most people want to know, "what is that gray color?" (The white is Simply White by Benjamin Moore.)
It's one of the most popular grays, and for good reason. Revere Pewter is a wonderful neutral, taupe-y gray that doesn't lean green or blue. It's just gray with a little hint of taupe, which I love, because it pairs perfectly with both warm and cool colors.

Dining Room Paint Color – Wythe Blue by Benjamin Moore
Our dining room is painted Wythe Blue by Benjamin Moore. {See more dining room posts here.} I chose this color first for the new house based on a photo of a gorgeous front door. I fell in love with that door and knew I had to have this sophisticated blue-green beauty in my home. I wanted guests to see it as soon as they walked in, so I painted the dining room Wythe Blue, just to the left of the entryway. It pairs so well with the Revere Pewter in the adjoining entryway and living room.
Kitchen Paint Color – Sea Salt by Sherwin Williams
Our kitchen started out in a darker blue-green called Stratton Blue. It's a little darker than the Wythe Blue in the dining room, and I picked it when we were moving into the home to break up all the beige. It had beige walls and beige cabinets, so I needed some color. {See more kitchen posts here.}
But fast forward a few years, and I painted the kitchen cabinets Simply White by Benjamin Moore (my go-to white!), and the color was just too dark.
I picked out the two colors I thought I wanted and posted about it here. And Sea Salt won out! I fell in love with it. It's such a soft, pretty green-blue that complements my Revere Pewter in the next room so well. The two colors meet in the kitchen doorway, so it was essential that they looked good right up next to each other.

Master Bedroom Paint Color – Palmetto Gray by Porter Paint
Our master bedroom is painted Palmetto Gray by Porter Paints. {See more master bedroom posts here.} My mom and I painted the master bedroom as one of the very first projects before my family moved into this house. The color was one of my best friend's favorites from high school, back when we were obsessed with finding the perfect "robin's egg blue" paint color. {My love of all things turquoise started early.}
But this was a more muted gray-blue-green than the robin's egg we were after, and we both still have rooms in our homes painted this pretty color. {This paint color is discontinued, but Restoration Hardware's Silver Sage is a close match.}
To be honest, my photos look a little bluer online than they do in real life. In person, they have a touch of green-gray and are a little more muted.
Nursery Paint Color – Lido Green by Benjamin Moore
Our sweet baby girl's nursery is painted Lido Green by Benjamin Moore, and it was such a fun room to decorate! {See more kids' room posts here.} I chose the color scheme from the adorable animal singing art above the crib and tried a few paint colors before I settled on Lido Green. It definitely pulls more green than any of the other mint or aqua colors in my home. And it's perfect for a fun, fresh little nursery!
Girl's Room Paint Color – Cream Puff by Benjamin Moore
My older daughter's room is painted Cream Puff by Benjamin Moore. {See more kids' room posts here.} It's the perfect sweet, pale pink without being too much. Today the room looks almost nothing like it does in the picture below, but the one thing that has stayed constant is the wall color. She and I both agree we love it, and it's staying for as long as we have a say-so in it!
Guest Bathroom Paint Color – Oyster Pearl from Clark+Kensington
This is a pretty gray, but honestly, I don't love it for this bathroom. {See more bathroom posts here.} The gray cabinets and the adjoining gray hallway kind of put a damper on this bathroom. I'm probably going to paint it Sea Salt like the kitchen. Then it will be light and bright!
Office & Guest Room Paint Color – Simply White by Benjamin Moore
My office is painted Simply White by Benjamin Moore. {See more office posts here.} I find it to be the perfect creamy white that doesn't read yellow. I wanted my colorful decorations to pop on the walls, and they do. I also thought it would make a good backdrop for pictures.
Laundry Room Paint Color – Wythe Blue by Benjamin Moore {tweaked}
The laundry room is a space I've never officially revealed, so you may not even know we have one. Just kidding, of course! But I'll share it even though it's not official.
Our laundry room is a walk-through laundry room and the entrance and exit to our garage, so it's our main entryway into the home. I wanted to keep the room bright and cheery since we don't have any natural light in there, and I walk through it a bajillion times a day.
So I took some leftover Wythe Blue paint and mixed it with white to get this color! Its closest match is Palladian Blue by Benjamin Moore.
Final Thoughts
Thank you so much for sticking with me until the end of this crazy long post about paint colors. Who knew there was so much to share?
If you noticed, the colors in my home are very similar to one another in the blues and grays, except for the one pink. I once heard a designer say that if you find a wall color you love, it's okay to paint every wall in your home a variation of that color. So I took the advice to heart.
I hope you found a new favorite color! Let me know if you end up using one, and send me a pic!
