Picking the perfect paint color for your home can be intimidating and overwhelming. Between the wide variety of options and the fact that paint can look extremely different on the wall versus in the can, it\u2019s certainly not the easiest job in the world.<\/p>\n

To help you narrow down your choices, here are the best interior wall paint colors, according to interior designers.<\/p>\n

Farrow & Ball Charleston Gray<\/a><\/h3>\n

If you\u2019re looking for a nice gray, this is a versatile choice. Douglas Graneto, the principal designer of Douglas Graneto Design<\/a>, says, \u201cIt can create a rich surrounding for a library if using a high gloss finish, but also acts as a soothing neutral in a beach house setting.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Benjamin Moore Dark Harbor<\/a><\/h3>\n

Looking for something dark and moody? Principal designer at The Design Collaborative<\/a> Hannah Davis suggests this shade because \u201cit\u2019s a rich blue jewel tone that is beautiful when accented with neutrals or complemented with warm tones of gold or burnt orange.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Behr Beloved Pink<\/a><\/h3>\n

Blush is always a good idea. \u201cIt is an unexpected choice, but still soft and subtle,\u201d says Stephanie Purcell, interior designer and owner of Redesigned Classics<\/a>. \u201cWhen paired with gold accessories and dark furniture, it transforms a room to be anything but boring.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Benjamin Moore Simply White<\/a><\/h3>\n

Want to keep it simple? \u201cThis is warm and elegant without hints of yellows or blues, making it versatile [and] perfect for velvety matte walls or glossy trim,\u201d says Kelly Scheer, an interior designer at Scheer & Co.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Benjamin Moore Sweet Honeydew Melon<\/a><\/h3>\n

For something different, opt for this gorgeous light green. Owner and principal designer of Eco Method Interiors<\/a>\u00a0Erica Reiner says, \u201cthis very light minty green is that perfect color for a refreshing feel that\u2019s light enough to be subtle but still evokes happiness.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Benjamin Moore Rocking Chair<\/a><\/h3>\n

Sometimes a neutral beige is your best bet. Leslie Eiler, design manager at CRD Design Build<\/a>, loves this shade. \u201cIt\u2019s a lovely color that doesn\u2019t go too orange or too gray. [It’s] very elegant and chic,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Farrow & Ball Pink Ground<\/a><\/h3>\n

Go for something bright with this shade. Interior designer Kathryn Nelson<\/a> says, \u201cFarrow & Ball has one of the most sophisticated hues out there and it\u2019s not just for baby nurseries.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Benjamin Moore White Dove<\/a><\/h3>\n

\u201cThis is a designer\u2019s favorite for a good reason. It\u2019s the perfect warm white that works with both grays and beiges,\u201d says Graneto.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Behr Wind Speed<\/a><\/h3>\n

For color that isn\u2019t too dramatic, try this one out. Purcell says, \u201cI love this blue because it is not overpowering, has a gray undertone, and acts as a neutral while still adding a splash of color in a light and bright way.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Benjamin Moore Navajo Red<\/a><\/h3>\n

Stand out big time with this unique color. Susan Williams of Siren Betty Design<\/a> says, \u201cthis bold accent wall really serves to define the room \u2013 it creates a ‘room’ where there wasn\u2019t one!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Farrow & Ball Skylight<\/a><\/h3>\n

You can\u2019t go wrong with a good gray. \u201cThis very pale blue-gray looks gorgeous with white linen curtains to create a soothing, zen bedroom oasis,\u201d says interior designer Anne Hepfer<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
