Paint shades can vary significantly based on illumination sources (daylight vs. electric, warm vs. cool lighting), adjacent colors, wall texture, and existing base color. Always trial paint samples directly on your walls and review them throughout various times of day before finalizing your choice.

Eggshell and satin sheens rank as top choices for interior wall surfaces - they provide gentle luster, simple maintenance, and conceal small flaws. Choose flat/matte for overhead surfaces and minimal-use spaces. Semi-gloss suits trim, doorways, and humid environments including bathrooms and kitchens where resilience is essential.

Warm white options contain yellow, cream, or pink tones creating an inviting, comfortable atmosphere. Benjamin Moore's White Dove exemplifies this category. Cool whites feature blue or gray bases delivering a fresh, contemporary feel. Chantilly Lace represents cool whites well. Your selection should align with your space's natural lighting and current decor.

Top-selling interior shades include cozy neutrals such as Sherwin Williams' Agreeable Gray and Benjamin Moore's Revere Pewter. These adaptable greige (gray-beige blend) tones complement various furniture designs, floor materials, and lighting scenarios while delivering elegance and comfort.

Professional designers typically suggest 3-5 shades to create a unified interior scheme: a primary neutral covering the majority of walls, one to two statement colors for accent walls or designated areas, plus a uniform trim shade used consistently. This approach establishes continuity throughout your home while giving individual rooms distinct personality.

Begin by examining your room's permanent features (floors, counters, or primary furnishings) to determine their underlying tones. Select paint shades that harmonize with these undertones. Apply the 60-30-10 design principle: 60% primary shade (wall surfaces), 30% supporting colors (upholstery/fabrics), 10% highlights.

Pale, cool-toned shades including whites, gentle grays, and soft blues expand a room's perceived size by bouncing light and creating visual depth. Benjamin Moore's Chantilly Lace and Sherwin Williams' Pure White work exceptionally well. Applying identical colors to walls and trim removes visual interruptions, maximizing the feeling of openness.

Classic design favors bright white or cream trim that's lighter than walls, establishing crisp definition and enhancing wall color richness. Contemporary styles, however, also welcome matching trim and wall colors for a smooth, modern aesthetic, or darker trim for striking visual impact.
