Ultra-Light Mint
Designer Jae Joo brightened up this old Boston Rowhouse with a fresh coat of ultra-light mint green paint. The warmth of the exposed brick accent wall, railing, artwork, and dresser fill the space with character and history for a smooth balance.

Neon Pink
Intense, eye-catching, and adventurous, the neon pink walls in this townhouse designed by Jonathan Berger make quite the first impression. Use it in a foyer for a warm, welcoming, impossible-to-forget entrance, or to embolden a lackluster hallway.

Gray-Brown
Kim Alexandruik's motto is to "go for impact." Use it as an opportunity to play with unusual seating and colorful artwork that may be harder to integrate into other rooms. Her color of choice is a "putty-colored gray, with a hint of pink and lavender. Not too light, so it doesn't go vapid," says Aleandruik. Use this hallway designed by Mally Skok as inspiration.

Plum
The plum cabinetry in this mudroom designed by Whittney Parkinson gives the area a calming presence. When paired with wicker baskets and brown tiled flooring, it's even more earthy and homey.

Red and Lavender
If you're feeling adventurous, color-block with two bold shades. Follow this living room by Katie Brown as an example, using the fresh color combination of fire engine red and violet in this space. And see how the pillows tie everything together so nicely? That's another great way to approach the living room design process: Start with a fun pair of throw pillows and then pull out your two favorite colors to highlight on the walls and ceiling.

Dutch Blue
Game rooms should be fun, so don't shy away from color! Designer and homeowner Fitz Pullins opted for a bold blue that's perfect for both daytime fun and dressier evenings. That neon light in the corner is a nice touch, too.

Pale Green
When you want a light neutral but find white too stark and beige too boring, opt for a super pale shade of green. Green-infused grays will feel like a breath of fresh air and adds just the right touch of intrigue as a backdrop for the gallery wall in this living room designed by Tamsin Johnson.

Sky Blue
The artwork in this living room designed by Kingston Lafferty truly comes to life when paired with the color-blocked ceiling, walls, and fireplace, the sputnik light, and patterned chairs. In fact, the space itself is like a work of art. To replicate this look, opt for a lighter shade of blue on the largest section of the wall and then a more saturated shade of blue on a small piece, like a fireplace.

Sage Green
No color creates a soothing atmosphere quite like sage green. Use it in your living room or in a library, as designer Melanie Turner did here in a historic Atlanta home's scrapbook-filled study. Paired with cozy seating of a similar color and a fireplace, the space makes for an ideal nook to sit down and get lost in a book.

Violet
Hand-painted murals can mimic the effect of wallpaper by introducing a story and pattern. But it's also safer inn splash zones like the kitchen, where wallpaper may feel a little more risky for some. Here, the lavender swirls of paint on a buttercream backdrop complement the elaborate blue chandelier, too. Then the classic, neutral cabinets and island ground the space.

Flat Black
In this midcentury Hudson Valley home, GRT Architects painted all the walls and windows a low gloss black to foreground the view and accentuate the large windows. The inky tone also helps contemporize and dress up the family kitchen.

Kelly Green
Verdant and fresh, there's a reason green works in every room. Pick between lime, pea, and clover for a nature-inspired space. If you aren't sure about covering the whole room in something so wild, just paint the trims and/or doors. In this energizing kitchen designed by Anna Spiro, the pops of high-gloss Kelly green do the trick.

Classic Gray
Avoid ho-hum neutrals. These go-to basics feature a few surprises, like a smoky lavender, moss green, and chocolate brown. In this galley kitchen designed by Heidi Caillier, the smoky paint brings some polish and formality.

Marigold
Even kitchens can have a little fun—every color of the rainbow is fair game. We love this goldenrod yellow that picks up on some of the colors in the wallpaper of this Rita Konig-designed kitchen.

Rich Green
A vivid green scheme instantly commands attention, making it the perfect choice for a kitchen conceived for entertaining. Take note of this one designed by SuzAnn Kletzien. The cabinets, crown and base moldings, and window trim are all painted in Benjamin Moore's Hunter Green in a satin finish. "It's a very appetizing color," Kletzien says.

Bright Orange
Don't neglect your pantry—it could use a fresh coat of paint, too. Consider covering exposed shelving in a bright orange hue for an unexpected and playful pop in a room that's often fairly dull. In this pantry, Pulp Design Studio used Sherwin-Williams Daredevil in a satin finish.

Royal Blue
In a formal dining room, choose something regal, like a deep royal blue. In this space by Cameron Ruppert Interiors, the glossy, luxe paint dresses up the bohemian upholstery and light area rug for approachable fine dining.

Burnt Orange
In a casual apartment dining nook designed by Emil Dervish, a pop of burnt orange spices up the entire area. The deep red and brown undertones keep things edgy and streamlined but make it just a touch more cheerful. The steel blue sconce adds a quirky touch while the concrete planter stays in line with the industrial vibe.

Dusty Purple
Though purple and black don't seem like the most obvious pair for a grownup, calming bedroom, they actually work together brilliantly here. Kingston Lafferty Design accentuated the purple details in the shelf and bedding with a dusty, gray purple tone and then played up the cooler undertones with sharper black metal accents.

Dusty Pink
If you love the romantic, sweet qualities of light pink but don't want it to be too saturated, opt for a nice dusty rose. This one has a mysterious smokiness to it that's softened by the whimsical accents. "Exuberantly feminine, yet resolutely chic" was designer Jonathan Berger's motto for decorating this Brooklyn townhouse. Berger found the Suzani on eBay, while and the curvy Venetian-inspired headboard is covered in Nouvelle Orleans, a cut velvet from Clarence House.

Coral
Nothing quite radiates like joy like coral (as far as paint colors are concerned, at least). In this bedroom by Nicky Kehoe, it picks up the bright tones featured in the gallery wall while the trimming, which is a darker gray color, reflects the cooler neutrals in the bedding and accents. Under direct light, it appears brighter, while it mimics the more muted shade of terra cotta in dimmer or less direct light.

Steel Blue
Make sure your room looks its best ever by choosing flattering shades. Yes, that's really a thing. Spoiler: It's usually an adventurous or unexpected neutral. In this bathroom, design studio Arent & Pyke opted for a steel gray.

Mellow Yellow
Pale yellow plaster on the upper half of the wall complements the geometric mustard and white tiles framing the bathtub. The terra cotta herringbone floor tiles are a nice transition. They feel subtle and "accidental," yet match nicely—perfect for a lived-in, country-chic vibe.

Crisp White
And of course, there's always a time and place for crisp white paint. Here's proof that sometimes it really is the best choice of all, even if it's also the most obvious. Alexander M. Reid opted for a crispy, bright white for this traditional bathroom and then added splashes of blue for a classic combo. The graphic floor tiles liven it up and the white walls serve as a perfect backdrop for the gallery of artwork.

Smart Bulbs
If you thought this bathroom designed by Breegan Jane was painted in an orchid hue, think again. Breegan Jane equipped this room with circadian-rhythm color lights that turn the cream walls temporarily pink (among other shades). If you want your bathroom to be bright and unique without the hassle and commitment of paint, take note.

Deep Teal
Can't choose between a wallcovering or paint in your bathroom? Incorporate both like designer Robin Henry did in this powder room. The mirror and beadboard are painted in Benjamin Moore's Coat of Arms, which Henry says is a perennial favorite. "I suggest it when clients ask for peacock, which can be too dark," she says. The deep teal in the wallpaper by Trustworth Studios matches brilliantly.

Bright Red
Liven up a drab nook or small corner of your home with a vibrant red. M. Lavender Interiors gave this space a glow by using a satin finish. Warm it up even more with wood accents, colorful throw pillows, and patterned carpeting.
