Your home reflects your personality and what you value in life, and your paint colors should align with those things. Why not try unique colors instead of using safe shades throughout your home? Our team shares uncommon colors without being too outrageous.
Benjamin Moore Stormy Sky 1616
This mid-tone hue features deep blue undertones that mimic the gathering of storm clouds on the horizon. Shades of blue-gray are dramatic and elegant and bring a calming quality to any room. Many people shy away from dark colors because they are wary of giving their homes a gloomy, claustrophobic aesthetic. Still, these shades can make a magnificent addition to your walls when you use them with complementary colors.
Ways to Highlight Benjamin Moore Stormy Sky 1616
Stormy Sky 1616 is not an ideal shade for color-drenching a space. It looks best when it’s balanced with lighter tones. Use the smoky violet-blue Yukon Sky 1439 on the trim or an accent wall to give Stormy Sky 1616 a playful look. The gray undertones found in the medium buff hue of Bleeker Beige HC-80 are a fantastic way to maintain the stately ambiance of Stormy Sky 1616 without overwhelming a space.
Benjamin Moore First Light 2102-70
First Light 2102-70 is a subtle, airy pink versatile enough to be a refreshing alternative to traditional shades of white or beige. The soft pink adds visual interest to a room without having the vibrance that would preclude it from being a primary color. It’s perfect for brightening small spaces but needs a deeper hue to ground it in larger areas.
Colors to Pair with Benjamin Moore First Light 2102-70
You can break up First Light 2102-70 without drastically changing the aesthetic by pairing it with the classic white Chantilly Lace OC-65 or White Heron OC-57, a bright white with a slightly cool cast. We recommend shades of deep gray to bring out the more mature, dignified side of First Light 2102-70. The dark gray of Normandy 2129-40 is sharpened with a touch of cool blue and would look fabulous on the trim or below the chair rail line in a room with First Light 2102-70 on the walls. Amherst Gray HC-167 is sleek, modern, and an excellent choice for ceilings. We love unexpected colors on ceilings; this shade perfectly anchors First Light 2102-70.
