What color should you paint your basement? Baseme

What color should you paint your basement?

Basement rooms typically have much lower levels of natural light than other home floors. As such, they’re some of the most challenging spaces to choose paint colors for.

Over the years as a paint color consultant, I’ve been able to work on many clients’ basement projects.

And I’ve learned what to look for in a good basement paint color.

Now, I've picked the 14 best basement paint colors, and some tips to help you pick the right one for your home.

Wrought Iron by #BenjaminMoore is a gorgeous soft

Wrought Iron by #BenjaminMoore is a gorgeous soft black paint color that is perfect for both interiors and exteriors.

It can be used for accent walls, accent rooms, window frames, interior doors and even cabinets.

If you're not sure if #WroughtIron is the right choice for your project, explore these alternatives to find your perfect hue.

🖤 BM Wrought Iron and BM Cheating Heart both have cool, blue undertones but Cheating Heart’s undertones are more overt and it is slightly lighter.

🖤 BM Iron Mountain is a bit lighter than Wrought Iron, has warm, green undertones and is much earthier and more brown than Wrought Iron.

🖤 For the blackest black paint color, try BM Black. It's the darkest black that Benjamin Moore makes and it has neutral undertones. Black looks very much like a true black.

🖤 BM Onyx is a bit darker than Wrought Iron and looks warmer in place.

🖤 BM Soot is a very close alternative to Wrought Iron. It has similar blue undertones but looks a bit cooler on the wall. It’s also slightly darker than Wrought Iron.

🖤 If you want the darkest of blacks instead of Wrought Iron, then try SW Tricorn Black. This is the truest black featured in this post. It has neutral undertones and looks warmer than Wrought Iron.

🖤 SW Iron Ore behaves similarly to Wrought Iron. However they have different undertones (SW Iron Ore has green undertones and BM Wrought Iron has blue undertones), but they still work in similar applications. Iron Ore is also slightly darker.

Farrow & Ball Teresa’s Green is a versatile pain

Farrow & Ball Teresa’s Green is a versatile paint color that looks just as beautiful with earthy finishes like wood and brick as it does with clean white colors and modern subway tiles.

If you're looking for a color similar to Teresa's Green, swipe to explore some alternatives.

Benjamin Moore’s Sage Tint is very similar to Teresa’s Green, but it's a little bit lighter. It’s also brighter than Farrow & Ball’s muted version of a pale aqua paint.

Benjamin Moore's Palladian Blue is very similar to Teresa's Green. However, Palladian Blue is a little bit lighter and brighter.

Slow Green by Sherwin-Williams is a pretty good Farrow & Ball Teresa’s Green dupe. It has similar aqua undertones but it is a bit lighter and a brighter aqua than Teresa Green’s muted hue.

Sherwin-Williams Copen Blue is darker than Teresa’s Green and is more of a blue with green undertones than a true aqua like Teresa’s Green.

Finally, Behr's Antiquated Aqua is a bit more muted than Teresa’s Green. Its LRV is also a little bit lower than Teresa’s Green, so it is a bit darker.

Sherwin-Williams Alabaster is the foundation color

Sherwin-Williams Alabaster is the foundation color of this gorgeous color palette.

This color scheme was created for a client, and it was inspired by a beautiful painting hanging in their home (pictured above). It features lovely warm and welcoming colors that really reflect the joy in their home.

We chose Alabaster as the foundation because it's a warm, off-white paint color. We wanted to surround it with other beautiful, warm and muted colors. With some pops of unexpected color choices.

What do you think of this whole-house color palette?
