Whole House Paint Colors

I am always painting our rooms, but I wanted to share our most recent whole house colors.

These are the colors I have used throughout our first floor.

Dutch Boy Rustic Blue 430-4DB (Sherwin Williams Meditative SW 6227)

I painted our bookshelves and trim in Dutch Boy Rustic Blue 430-4DB. It’s a beautiful dusty blue.

If you don’t have Dutch Boy paint available near you, look at Sherwin Williams Meditative SW6227.

Magnolia Home Wedding Band MAG019

Our kitchen cabinets came prefinished in a greenish-blue gray.

I wanted to extend that color onto our walls and found that Magnolia Home’s Wedding Band MAG019 was a close match. It’s hard to photograph, and in person, it’s lighter.

Dutch Boy Silver Plated 445-2DB (Sherwin Williams Flexible Gray SW6010)

I wanted to try something new in our primary bedroom, so I found this beautiful dusty lavender. It is Dutch Boy in Silver Plated 445-2DB.

I love it because although it is a color, it acts as a neutral. If you can’t find Dutch Boy paint near you, check out Sherwin Williams Flexible Gray SW6010.

Valspar Paint Night View 4007-4C

I have had this deep navy in our family room for years, and I LOVE it. It’s moody and elegant and the perfect shade of navy. It is Valspar in Night View 4007-4C.

Dutch Boy Mortar and Pestle 406-3DB (Sherwin Williams Perfect Greige SW 6073)

I wanted a beige with a slight pink undertone for our dining room, and I found it in Dutch Boy Mortar and Pestle 406-3DB.

If you don’t have Dutch Boy paint available near you, check out Sherwin Williams Perfect Greige SW 6073.

It is really difficult to photograph paint colors and they appear in real life. Make sure to always test a color before committing to painting an entire room.

I’ve made the mistake of seeing another influencer’s online images and running out to buy the paint color they used. Since lighting is different in every space, the color can appear very different.

Happy Painting!

Exterior Home Paint Palette

I am often asked about our house colors, and I matched our colors to create a Dutch Boy Exterior Home Paint Palette.

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Dutch Boy. All opinions are 100% mine.

Exterior Home Paint Palette

  • Painted Brick: Our brick paint color is very similar to Dutch Boy 016W – Worn Pages.
  • Trim: Our trim color matches Dutch Boy 440-2DB Rhino-ed Gray.
  • Front Door: Painted in Dutch Boy 427-6DB Cattails

If you want more details on our front door, you can see more in this post.

I painted all the other exterior doors in a color that is very similar to the trim on our home – Dutch Boy Rhino-ed Gray.

Dutch Boy Rhino-ed Gray Paint

This is the side front door of our home and the Rhino-ed Gray is the perfect complement to our painted brick.

I painted our side garage door in the same color.

And also painted our patio doors in the back of our home.

I used Dutch Boy Platinum Plus Cabinet, Door & Trim Paint which is a water-based alkly enamel that goes on silky smooth.

I love the look of the semi-gloss, but I opted for satin since the rest of my home exterior is similar.

I love this paint because it is thick and coats well. It works well for exteriors as well as interiors, and I also used it to paint our home library bookshelves.

When looking for exterior door colors, I knew I wanted a warm gray to compliment our off-white painted brick.

Exterior Paint Colors for Trim and doors

I narrowed it down to two paint colors.

Best Warm Grays:

  • Dutch Boy 439-2DB Scalloped Gray
  • Dutch Boy 440-2DB Rhino-Ed Gray
Warm Gray Exterior Paint Colors

They are both beautiful warm gray paint colors, but I obviously ultimately decided on Rhino-Ed Gray because it best matched my home’s trim color.

What are some of your favorite exterior home paint palettes?
