Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What is the best paint color for small spaces?
A. Dynamic and bold colors add architectural interest to modestly sized spaces. Consider vivid, rich colors, which can complement artificial lighting sources to make a powerful style statement in a small space. Dark hallway? Consider using a creamy off-white hue from our Off White Collection to lighten it up.
Q. What is the most common paint color palette for apartments?
A. If you live in a small rental apartment with several smaller-sized rooms, we love our maximalist paint color palette to bring diminutive rooms to life. On the other hand, apartment dwellers eager to make their small spaces look bigger often opt for pale and pastel paint colors. Paint color is personal. There is no one-size-fits-all color palette for apartments—or any dwelling for that matter!
Q. What is color blocking?
A. Color blocking is the use of two or more solid colors to create interesting, dynamic color combinations. The art of Piet Mondrian is one of the most famous examples of color blocking.
Q. What is color zoning?
A. Color zoning acts as a visual cue to differentiate parts of a room, with no room dividers or walls necessary. By creating specific “zones” of color, you can make a small space feel larger, while utilizing one room for multiple purposes. One of the easiest ways to color zone a room is with paint.
In a smaller apartment, high-quality Benjamin Moore interior paints like Ben® Interior or Regal® Select Interior can be used to delineate space for creative color zoning.
Q. What is an accent wall?
A. An accent wall, also called a feature wall, is painted a different color from the rest of a room—with eye-catching results. Accent walls are often selected to showcase a room’s focal point, like a built-in bookcase, fireplace, or a key piece of art. Highly saturated rich colors are often favorites picks for accent walls.
