Color Store • Sep 13, 2023

From pumpkin spice to wool sweaters, there are plenty of things to look forward to when the leaves begin to drop. Why not keep the spirit of the season alive all year long? With fall Benjamin Moore paint colors, you can bring nature's beauty indoors with a thoughtfully designed palette. Here, the Color Store professionals discuss how to create an autumn color scheme for your home, as well as some key insights to consider throughout your painting project.

Mix and Match Your Favorite Fall Colors

Start by taking a fresh look at the colors you love throughout the season. Rich earth tones balance out the warm, vibrant hues in the falling leaves—these will likely be the base of your color scheme. Benjamin Moore seasonal color palettes make it easy to coordinate the tones you're most drawn to in autumn, but you can also pick and choose your own. Here are some ideas for your painting project:

  • Red: Think red wine, burgundy, or deep, moody red paint.
  • Yellow: Yellows brighten, creating a cheerful atmosphere reminiscent of the season.
  • Orange: Mixed with brown undertones, orange paint can set your space apart. 
  • Rust: Green and yellow accents look great against rusty paint colors.
  • Brown: Cinnamon, cognac, or coffee helps ground your palette and works with most other colors.

You can even add gray or a muted pink-orange shade to keep it light or saturate your walls in a deep mulberry that turns your study into a statement room. And it's perfectly fine to mix warm and cool colors together—choosing a dominant color on the warmer side of the spectrum will bring your autumnal theme to the forefront.

Select a Fall Paint Sheen

Fall-inspired Benjamin Moore interior paint comes in a wide range of sheens. And just like choosing your paint palette, selecting a sheen is equally essential. First, consider which rooms you'll be painting. For instance, glossy paints are perfect for kitchens and playrooms because they're easy to wipe clean. Flat paint is pigment-heavy, so you get the most coverage per stroke and can hide imperfections well.

Start with a primer if you're covering up a deep blue wall with a bright goldenrod color. Benjamin Moore Fresh Start® Premium interior primers are crafted for outstanding adhesion and coverage, helping to ensure your new color rings true and isn't tainted by the old one underneath.

Why Choose Benjamin Moore Paint and Primer?

Benjamin Moore paint across the color spectrum is expertly engineered with Gennex® Color technology. This means that even if you choose the richest red on the palette, you won't have to worry about it fading over time. Other reasons to choose Benjamin Moore paint include:

  • Spatter resistance ensures the paint goes on your walls and nowhere else.
  • Low-odor formulas mean your fresh look won't be ruined by strong chemical odors.
  • Colors lay down smoothly and flow easily for an even coat every time.

It's no small task to repaint your home in bold, new hues. Schedule a professional color consultation to get started.
