Deciding on a color for an indoor painting project can be agonizing as you try to check off items on your wish list: A color that will pop, a hue that goes with everything but doesn’t feel tired, and a shade that doesn’t mirror those in all of your friends’ homes. JD Painting & Decorating has 22 years of experience as Hawaii’s leading contractor for both indoor and exterior painting, and has offices on Oahu, Maui, and Kauai. Since they specialize in hotel and commercial properties, they know a few things about choosing colors that will make a statement and last for ages. If you are looking to redecorate your home, they have a few on-trend suggestions that will take your renovation to the next level:

• Think Greek: Mediterranean blues are having another moment, but don’t be scared away by the richness of the color. Pair it with a dove gray or soft pink for a neutral counterweight, and prepare for the rush of compliments.
• Yellow is the new neutral: Rather than tired cream, beige, or white, look to a yellow in a pastel hue to liven up baseboards and trims. The shade is surprisingly versatile, and will give your room a distinct look.
• Go all-natural: For a look that will stand up through the years, look for a delicate, almost imperceptible green. This hue has re-energizing properties, so a hint of it on your walls can help you relax after a stressful day.
• Don’t fear the darkness: Deep, rich opaque shades make stark white accents pop and add a crispness and polish to a room that is hard to surpass. Many people worry that going dark on all four walls will make for an oppressive space, but when painted with precision, the effect is that of pure luxury.
