When designing a nature-inspired paint palette, first select a primary color that reflects the mood you'd like to create: earthy greens, soft blues, and inviting lavenders all epitomize the essence of the outdoors. Next, you'll complement the primary color with coordinating shades for trim and accents and determine the best finish. At the Color Store, we carry Benjamin Moore's premium quality paints in endless spring colors. Let's explore your potential spring paint palette further:

Choose Your Favorite Shades

The first step in creating the perfect springtime palette is selecting your favorite shades of premium Benjamin Moore paint. Earthy greens, soft blues, and inviting lavender hues capture the season's rejuvenating spirit and natural beauty. Which color best suits you? Start by browsing through design magazines and Pinterest boards, and consider these natural colors that are popular among our clients:

  • Benjamin Moore Creekside Green 2141-40 is a richly saturated shade reminiscent of a warm day spent strolling alongside a quiet creek bed.
  • Benjamin Moore Gentle Butterfly 2173-70 is a barely pink wash of color that reflects the sky during the spring sunrise. 
  • Benjamin Moore Clearlake 738 is an intense shade of sky blue punctuated with bright green undertones that uplift rooms.
  • Benjamin Moore Spring Flowers 1430 features a touch of gray in the versatile pastel purple that evokes florals, water tones, and emanates serenity.

Complement Your New Hues

After choosing your primary paint colors, complement them with coordinating shades for trim and accents to achieve a cohesive look. For example, if you go with an earthy green hue, creamy ivory trim provides a beautiful backdrop and soft coral accents help bring vibrant energy into the room. The thoughtful selection of complementary trim and accent shades help your primary color as it evokes the essence of the world outside.

 Select a Stylish Finish

Benjamin Moore paint has many finishes tailored to every taste and style preference—from ultra matter to super glossy. The right finish amplifies nature-inspired shades by affecting how light interacts with the painted surface, adding dimension and depth. For example, satin and semi-gloss finishes invite the sunlight of longer days to dance across walls. Conversely, matte finishes gently absorb light, creating a tranquil ambiance.
