Frequently Asked Questions

What are the best paint colors for wellness spaces?

Whether you want to paint a meditation space, spruce up your favorite reading nook, or simply breathe some Zen into your home, the best paint colors for wellness spaces are the hues that make you feel calm and relaxed. Blues and greens are popular choices for their connection to nature, while neutrals are incredibly versatile and offer a host of choices to go with any décor or design style.

How do I create a spa-like atmosphere in my home?

Make your self-care spaces feel spa-like by sticking to a minimalist design style and leaning into natural décor—think teak, marble, and anything that offers both indulgence and function. For extra luxury, use Aura® Bath & Spa Interior paint—Benjamin Moore’s ultra-premium, matte-finish bathroom paint—for unparalleled color beauty in high humidity.

What colors are associated with wellness?

Many paint colors are associated with wellness. Blues and greens help to bring the energy of the outdoors into your home (think fresh air, blue sky, and other earthy elements), while yellow and red bring a welcoming warmth to many shared spaces.

For a slightly different take, try a pale pink, which offers the versatility of a neutral with a soft touch of color.

Can I use bold colors in a wellness space or meditation room?

There are no rules when it comes to using bold colors in self-care spaces—the hue you choose should be the color that makes you feel most at ease. If you’re thinking about bringing a deeper color into your wellness or meditation space, you may want to start with an accent wall or use a jewel-toned hue like Hale Navy HC-154 or Hunter Green 2041-10.

What are Benjamin Moore’s most calming paint colors?

Calming paint colors can be found in nearly every color family, but some of our favorite relaxing hues include Pale Oak OC-20, Palest Pistachio 2122-60, and Porcelain 2113-60.

To help ease the process of choosing a paint color—especially when creating a wellness space—we encourage you to test-drive with color samples so you can have peace of mind before you paint.
