White is boring - any color but gray may conflict with a change in decor.

No can do . . . I like variety

Restoration Hardware Silver Sage. Goes from blue to gray to green, depending on the light. Each room would look a different color.

Silver Mist from Benjamin Moore

15 years ago I painted most of my house a custom green. I still love it! It goes well with so many things and I get positive comments to this day.

I voted Gray but I meant in between gray and beige. My fave color is called "Smokey Taupe" and it is by Benjamin Moore.

Teal love it happy color

SW 6120 believable buff. Goes with any color and is not too yellow.

kathy,
are you looking for a rug? I found a rug with the colors you mentioned.

Nomadic Desert. SW6107. There are many photos in Houzz with this color.

Macadamia by Sherwin Williams

Pale bluish gray

off white or winter white/creamy beige -dulux hogbristle full or half strength

Sherwin Williams "Patience" is my new fav!

SW Rainwashed. That and plenty of sunshine take me to my peaceful, happy place!

I've read that home staging companies prefer white.

Funny that simple white is winning the race!

I love the warm gray of DE Muslin. No blue undertones, truly neutral. It tied our little California home together.

Log.... natural wood :)

A beautiful soft white (kind of creamy without being yellow) is Silver Satin by Benjamin Moore. It actually glows. Really. I was sold when I walked into a new house being painted and immediately fell in love with the white on the walls. I asked the painters and they let me take a photo of the lid of the paint tin so I could remember the color!

My husband painted our guestroom and he was quite pleased. Then I told a friend about it and she painted her entire rental house this same white and was in love. I have never seen a white like it. Subtle, calming, just a wonderful soft white. Then in my home office, I paired it with a soft gray trim (Silverplate by Sherwin Williams) and wow, elegant and soothing.

If I can't have wood , stone , brick , etc. , then my favorite color is "Arizona" by Behr .It's the hottest , densest , Tuscan ochre-yellow-orange with a hint of apricot and everything looks like art against it .You can't be depressed when you wake up to this color !

Chocolate Mousse by BM

I chose "yellow" from the list above, but really my favorite for all walls is an "almost white" butter yellow that Duron made 20 years ago called "soft gold" (CW022W). I've used it for many years and still love it. The formula is in both the Benjamim Moore and Sherwin Williams systems. It's a feel-good, happy, neutral color that's neither too bright nor too blah. It looks great with white trim and white ceilings.

I chose "white" from the list but it must be a warm while. I particularly like Benjamin Moore's Mannequin Cream.

DE muslin is the perfect gray! (Not DE "crisp muslin," too light.)

The color I painted my previous (almost) entire house, a discontinued SW color called Ancient Marble, cut by 25%. It was a pale gray green. That was 11 years ago. I'm building a new house and will be painting in a month or so, and most of the house will probably painted a similar color. It was such a neutral, unobtrusive, relaxing color.

Classic Silver from Behr paints! I painted my entryway and living room with this color and I love it!

Impossible. I could never live with just one color, and I would never want every room to have the same mood.

@Bespoke Décor - I lived in a rented apartment for many years that had all the walls the same color. I was fortunate in that it was a sunny neutral rather than a drab one but NONE of my rooms had the "same mood". Changing the wall color isn't the only way to change a mood. Just wanting to make sure that point was clear.

So true whynottryit! I used Powell Buff throughout most of my bungalow and it looks different in each room and throughout the day.

@whynottryit and @bobbijobin - If you browse my page - Bespoke Decor - here on Houzz, or check out my website, www/bespokedecor.com, I think you'll get a better understanding of where I'm coming from and my approach to color as it affects interior design.

There is room in this world, and in this discussion, for those of us with different desires regarding color and how it impacts the space we live in. There is nothing wrong with committing to one color and enjoying it throughout. Not everyone likes that, though, and there's nothing wrong with that either.

I agree with you about nothing being wrong with different color rooms. I was just wanting to point out that one could have different moods in a room even when confined to the same color on the walls. I have moved into my own home now and have painted my LR walls black. I plan to have the connecting DR a soft teal. My bedroom will be a soft coral and one bedroom will be purple. I am still debating on some of the other rooms so I truly understand how exciting it can be to have different colors in different rooms. For those who are confined or committed to a single color, options are available to change the mood in those rooms. I just wanted to clarify that point.

Blue green.

Behr Creme Brulee

Seeing as it's "for life" I would have to do white or a very light grey. Those would be unlikely to go completely out of style, and while they may start feeling dull over the years, it won't be something you're going to despise. I would have to think a bit harder before I commit to an exact shade. Great question!

Have just completely remodeled my master bedroom and bath - and I could definitely live with my color choice for life! The walls are Behr Aqua Chintz, with ceiling done in Behr Maui Mist (a very clean white just ever-so slightly blue), & the trim in Behr Ultra Pure White. My general contractor thought the green too "girly" until it was completed - now he can't say enough about how relaxing the color feels! The Aqua Chintz paint blends beautifully with the new concrete shower stained in a light aqua. I don't think one can ever go wrong with aqua or teal!

My bedroom/ bathroom is painted Oyster Bay by Sherwin Williams
And everyone that comes in there wants to know what color of paint it is. It is beautiful and very soothing. The vanity is SW sea salt and the ceilings are SW retreat. It is quite lovely!!!

Pinkish purple. New color combination. Since I love both colors & purple is my birth stone, I figure why not!! You can do so much with this color & I'm redoing my rooms in all types of accents to this color.

It'd have to be blue's, different ones in every room.

I need to make my decision with builder and decided on SW compatible cream for the east side of the house and SW Biltmore Buff for the west side of the house. I like the pale yellow look and didn't want any gray tones at all. These two seem to go well with everything and blend well together.

Grey- light and barely there

White :)

I love butter yellow walls. It goes with everything. We painted our entire condo Dunn Edwards Ivory Charm DEW323. The ceiling and crown moulding are painted DEW380 warm white in photo below.

We are going to build a small modern house. I plan on painting most of the walls and ceilings Dunn Edwards DEW380 warm white. It is one of the cleanest and brightest whites out there.

Shellyjr your Dunn Edwards Ivory Charm walls look just like my Duron Soft Gold walls (see my comment from 4 years ago) ! I'm with you I love this happy neutral color too ;) It's still my favorite.
