Tips for finding the right Benjamin Moore paint color

Choosing the right paint color can be frustrating and tricky. Here are a few tips for getting it right:

1. Look for ideas in magazines, on pinterest, or home decorating websites.
2. Start with an inspiration piece like an area rug, sofa, or bedding.
3. Look at your favorite swatches in the actual room that you’ll be painting.
4. Narrow down your choices to less than 5.
5. Test the color(s) in the room that will be getting painted. You can use tester sample paint pots or peel and stick color samples.
6. Look at the painted samples at various times of the day and on sunny and cloudy days. Lighting can make a color look quite different.
7. There is no perfect paint color. If you end up hating one that you choose, repainting isn’t that difficult so don’t stress out over it.
