Warm up With Off-Whites

Off-whites create a welcoming atmosphere and work beautifully with many design styles and color schemes where the warm undertones of off-white illuminate the bright feel of summer's sunshine seeping in. If warm whites are for you, check out Benjamin Moore Swiss Coffee. It is a soft color with subtle undertones of yellow and beige. Its Light Reflectance Value (LRV) is 81.91, reflecting more light into the room rather than absorbing it. This color is especially perfect for rooms that aim to create an open and airy feel. Further, consider bringing the paint to the ceiling, as painting ceilings with high-LRV colors, such as Swiss Coffee, can make them seem higher.

Cool Down With Breezy Blues

Cool down in a room this summer painted with a breezy blue! Alongside their natural cooling effect, blue hues add tranquility and a peaceful ambiance to your summer refresh. Further, since blue is the color of the sky and the ocean, it brings the summer vibe straight inside. Consider Benjamin Moore November Skies if you're looking for a blue hue that transitions well into other seasons. Its muted gray undertones balance the blues and give it an elegant look that looks beautiful every season. It pairs well with various colors, including whites, grays, and natural wood tones. Additionally, November Skies has a moderate LRV, reflecting a good amount of light without overpowering.

Evoke Nature With Soft Greens

Soft green paint brings the feeling of your favorite summer walk inside the walls of your home. Green hues are a soothing reminder of lush summer foliage that brings your space a fresh, natural vibe. Its calming tones create a serene atmosphere perfect for kicking back and unwinding during lazy summer days. Undoubtedly, a fresh coat of soft green makes interiors feel cool, inviting, and connected to the vibrant beauty in bloom right outside your door. Consider Benjamin Moore Sherwood Green to fulfill this role in your home.
