When you want to revitalize your living room, change the wall color. Because interior painting covers such a large surface area, a new coat conveys an immediate sense of change. If you want to go further and create a modern and innovative aesthetic, try the following colors.

5 Modern Interior Painting Colors

1. Greige

A portmanteau of grey and beige, “greige” is a neutral with numerous variations, all of which balance the cool tones of the former with the warmth of the latter. If you want to surprise your guests without shocking them, go greige. It’s a bit more casual than grey yet not as commonplace as beige, so it’s perfect for subverting expectations without feeling too defiant.

2. Black

For something much bolder and more stylish, choose black. To soften the severity, ask your interior painting contractor for a matte or flat finish. It won’t attract as much attention as the shinier ones like semi-gloss.

3. Dark Blue

If the depth of black intrigues you, but you don’t feel ready to commit to such a dramatic shade, choose a variation of dark blue. A classic navy looks fantastic with glass or stainless steel accents while a teal-toned version complements woody mid-century pieces.

4. Yellow

On the other end of the color spectrum, yellow offers a much cheerier perspective. Whether you choose goldenrod or canary yellow, any variation is an energetic hue suitable for families with young children or pets. If your home doesn’t get much natural sunlight, it’s also a smart way to brighten up the room.

5. Off-White

You can’t go wrong with white. If you have colorful decor, it gives you the most versatility. However, to keep it fresh, choose something that leans in a particular color direction. For example, a slight peach undertone is charming if you have floral motifs throughout the space, while a sage tint creates a more calming atmosphere.
