Welcome long days and warm nights with our soft summer color palette. This collection of seasonally inspired hues has something for everyone—and lets easygoing summer vibes fill your home all year long.

The Benjamin Moore Summer Color Palette

Create paradise in your own home with sunbaked hues handpicked by our color experts.

Sunlit Coral 2170-60

Taking its cues from the southeastern sunset, this peachy hue adds a warm glow to our summer-inspired color palette.

A calming blend of pink and orange flatters any space.

Pair with White Opulence OC-69, Sugar Cookie OC-93, or Cotton Balls OC-122 on the trim and ceiling for a soft style.

Cotton Balls OC-122

A subtle yellow undertone lends a touch of brightness to this go-to white paint color.

Use it on its own for a crisp, clean look, or pair it with another summer-inspired hue for an easygoing coastal combination.

Use it on trim and ceiling for a uniform look, or try Chantilly Lace OC-65. Bring in a delicate touch with Moonlight White OC-125.

Linen-White OC-146

A timeless, creamy white paint color that breathes relaxation and good vibes, perfect for the summer.

The perfect complement to summer décor essentials—think nautical trinkets, woven textiles, and dipped planters.

For trim and ceiling, consider Mountain Peak White OC-121, Cloud White OC-130, or Mayonnaise OC-85.

Papaya 957

A sandy tan with a laidback, bohemian feel.

Not too light, not too dark: Papaya 957 offers depth and versatility thanks to its blush undertone.

Lean into Papaya 957’s warmth with Linen White OC-146, Simply White OC-117, or Mascarpone AF-20 on the ceiling and trim.

Farm Fresh AF-360

This honey-roasted neutral features gentle orange undertones reminiscent of fresh eggs straight from the farm.

Use as a bold neutral in your dining room on all four walls, or as an accent wall in your kitchen.

For trim and ceiling pairings, we love Gardenia AF-10, Frappe AF-85, and Mountain Peak White OC-121.

Jet Stream 814

A bright sky blue, Jet Stream 814 brings a friendly, gentle tone to the palette.

Accent your white-painted room with a ceiling in Jet Stream 814 to bring the expansive summer sky into your space, or embrace its breezy nature and use on all four walls in a bedroom or study.

Pair with Collector's Item AF-45, Cotton Balls OC-122, or White Diamond OC-61 on ceiling and trim.

Wild Flower 2090-40

From our Color Trends 2022 Palette, Wild Flower 2090-40 brings a touch of tart sweetness to the summer palette.

Use on accent walls, furnishings, and in rooms that desire an infusion of sophisticated energy.

For trim and ceiling, we love Parchment OC-78, Atrium White OC-145, and Battenberg AF-70.

"Warm, beachy hues extend an easygoing welcome in any space."
