After completing many projects over the years, I have used a lot of different paint colors! I thought it would be fun and useful to list my favorites all in one place.
And I will continue to add to the list whenever I have a new favorite paint color!

Make sure to check out all of my painting tutorials and tips to transform your home and decor on a budget! Any of these paint colors would look beautiful on a DIY painted accent wall too!
I've used Mindful Gray multiple times from our DIY board and batten wall to our vertical shiplap in our bathroom makeover. It's the perfect warm greige gray paint color.
I love Oyster Bay for a touch of fresh color! It looks stunning with white and black and is the perfect accent color on furniture, cabinets, and doors. I used it on our DIY double barn doors and our back porch door makeover.
Blue note is a rich, darker navy blue. I used it on our IKEA Billy Bookcase Hack with shiplap for an office makeover. You can't go wrong with this navy paint color. It's classic and beautiful!
Simply white is a top favorite white paint color that is fresh and bright. It's not a stark white nor a yellow white. It's just right. I used in our living room makeover for the trim, DIY board and batten accent wall, DIY fireplace, and shiplap in our entryway makeover.
White dove is another favorite white paint color! It is a warmer white that just works with just about any other paint color. I've used this white paint color the most over time, including our DIY shiplap accent walls for our first home living room makeover, our IKEA dresser hack, and so many more furniture and wall projects! It may just be my favorite white paint color of all time!
Black panther is another beautiful black paint color. It’s the perfect, soft, charcoal black! It's lovely for a black accent wall like we did for our bedroom makeover.
October mist is a gorgeous soft green with a bit of sage. It's a more neutral green that adds color in a subtle way. I believe it was Benjamin Moore's 2022 color of the year and I totally understand why. I loved using it on our DIY wall cabinets for our laundry room makeover.
Boothbay gray is a gorgeous blue grey paint color. I especially love it on cabinets, accent features, and doors. We used it in our small bathroom makeover.
Retreat is a statement green that I think it very welcoming. It's a color that looks great with black or brass accents. I love it on our DIY built ins in our entryway makeover as well as my DIY large wood sign.
I’d love to know, what is your favorite paint color?!

This is a great list! Thank you. What is your favorite white for walls? You mentioned trim, baseboard, but curious what white would work best against those options on the walls?
