11 Best Interior Paint Colors in 2021

Green

Even though no color or paint company declared it their color of 2021, it’s clear that the people want green, green, green.

JG Color Studios owner, interior designer and color expert Jennifer Guerin says Brazilian Rainforest by Benjamin Moore made her list. “It is highly chromatic without being over the top,” she says. “This deep green reflects the hue we find in plants, yet brings out an elegance, and says I’m not afraid of you, color.”

She envisions this as a touch of unexpected green on a credenza, dresser or even a kitchen island, and especially loves it on lower cabinets in a kitchen or a vanity.

Not sure you’re ready to dive into this jungle-jewel vibrance? CertaPro Painters of the South Shore owner Paige NeJame says to consider a shot of acidic green paint such as Farrow & Ball’s Churlish Green in a powder room or on the front door.

Smoky, desaturated or gray-greens such as Farrow and Ball’s Green Smoke and Sherwin-Williams’ Oyster Bay are also in vogue, so sample the spectrum.
