The Paint

Orange Parrot, Benjamin Moore

From: HGTV Magazine

How You Can Use It

“We went midcentury in this entry with a three-panel glass door painted ‘look-at-me!’ orange. It’s bold, without any of that muddiness orange can have. The same color is on the other side too. If you’re going to make a statement, we say go all in!” — Lucy Penfield and Stephanie Lalley, Lucy Interior Design, Minneapolis, MN

The Paint

Pink Cinnamon, HGTV Home by Sherwin-Williams

From: HGTV Magazine

How You Can Use It

“These stairs lead to my crafts room — they deserved special treatment! Terra-cotta pink has punch, with earthiness to keep it in check. Taping off each step and riser took effort, but painting was a breeze, and walking up them brings me joy every time.” — Megan Baker, @baker.blooms, Cumming, GA

The Paint

Rojo Dust, Sherwin-Williams

From: HGTV Magazine

How You Can Use It

“Painting a giant terra-cotta-color circle on a pale pink wall was an easy way to give my 21-year-old sister’s bedroom a grown-up feel — and it cost about $12. I hung macramé art as a cool faux headboard.” — Amilia James, Rose Door Home, Knoxville, TN

The Paint

India Yellow, Farrow & Ball

From: HGTV Magazine

How You Can Use It

“A goldenrod shade that exudes 1970s nostalgia, applied just partway up a wall, made this bedroom in a New Orleans apartment unexpectedly cool and contemporary.” — Christina Higham, designer for Sonder, San Francisco, CA

The Paint

India Yellow, Farrow & Ball

From: HGTV Magazine

How You Can Use It

“I wanted to make a large laundry room homier and warmer, and golden yellow on the cabinets was just the thing. The buffalo check ceramic tile floor has an equally cozy feel.” — Kristen Forgione, @thelifestyledco, Phoenix, AZ

The Paint

OMGreen, Clare

From: HGTV Magazine

How You Can Use It

“I loved this seafoam green so much that I decorated my entire TV room around it. The effect changes depending on the light — it feels airy during the day and cozy at night. Painting my ceiling the same shade helped those odd angles blend in.” — Ashley Whiteside, @ashleyswhiteside, Wake Forest, NC

The Paint

Peale Green, Benjamin Moore

From: HGTV Magazine

How You Can Use It

“For a lounge vibe in a space used for entertaining, I painted the cabinets, shelves and wall the same mossy green — it instantly made them chicer. I chose a mirror as a backsplash to make the area even more like a bar.” — Lauren Ramirez, @laurenramirezinteriors, Austin, TX

The Paint

Deep Pine, Dunn-Edwards

From: HGTV Magazine

How You Can Use It

“Here in sunny Miami, deep green is not the most obvious choice for an entryway. But I love how dramatic it is while still feeling natural. When you step inside, it’s like you’re taking a walk through the woods.” — Federica Molini, Arte Bohème blog, Miami, FL

From: HGTV Magazine

The Paint

Navy Teal, Dunn-Edwards

From: HGTV Magazine

How You Can Use It

“Combine the richness of classic navy with the electric feel of teal and you get this blue. It’s the best of both worlds — not too out there, yet exciting enough for a young couple who requested something bold on their built-ins.” — Corine Maggio, CM Natural Designs, Mill Valley, CA

From: HGTV Magazine

The Paint

Winter Way, Behr

From: HGTV Magazine

How You Can Use It

“After installing molding on my living room wall, I painted it a deep, deep blue to make it even more of a focal point. It reminds me of the ocean under moonlight. It would look good in an office or a dining room, too.” — Warda Tahir, @anappetitefordesign, Glen Allen, VA
