August – October 2017 Paint Colors

August - October 2017 paint colors in Ballard Designs catalog

 

Because we shoot in real homes, we are not always at liberty to paint the walls. In those cases, we have chosen paint colors that best match the wall color in the photo. Please be aware that color may vary due to various light conditions, finish and other factors.  Therefore, it’s always a great idea to test a paint sample on your wall first.

Benjamin Moore's Pine Brook paint color in Ballard Designs catalog

Pine Brook #490, Benjamin Moore

This rich, mossy green looks fantastic with nearly any neutral. We chose it for it’s earthiness and because it works with both chartreuse and emerald.

Benjamin Moore's Simply White in Ballard Designs catalog

Simply White #OC-117, Benjamin Moore

A true cream adds a little warmth to your room, while still giving you a fresh and airy backdrop for art and accessories.

Benjamin Moore's Deep Creek paint color in Ballard Designs catalog

Deep Creek #1477, Benjamin Moore

Dark walls have a certain drama about them. We love using them with ladylike pieces (think florals and blush) for an unexpected twist.

A light grey goes with nearly any decor. It balances both warm and cool colors and adds a subtle backdrop to your space.

Balance Warm tones with a gray paint color. We chose this one because it’s a true gray, no warm undertones.

    We’ve used Deep Creek a number of times with clients brave enough to go with a dark colour.

    It’s dark without being “too dark” for nervous homeowners

    Love your site by the way…first time commenting

      Would you mind telling us what pieces are in the room? That way we can find the right space and let you know the color.

      Hi Rose,
      So glad you love the catalog!
      The wall color on page 6 is wallpaper from Miles Redd’s Schumacher collection. On page 8, we actually used our Mira Blue fabric to upholster the walls. On page 69, the paint color is Cobblestone Path #1606 from Benjamin Moore.
      Hope this helps!
