Balancing Brights
Ask children what color they want for their room, and big, bright hues top the list. Knowing that this is the space where they sleep, study and play – balance is the key.
Here, Yellow Highlighter 2021-40 brings on the bright, softened by Cotton Balls 2145-70 on trim and complemented by Downpour Blue 2063-20 on the back wall. Blending neutrals, like greys and beiges, helps empower the use of vivid color for bedding, pillows and other room décor–like the cheery, aqua-colored chair.

Beyond the Pale
If you’re the practical type, you may be interested in color choices that will transition seamlessly from infant to toddler to big kid.
To align a kid’s room alongside their growth spurts, consider reserving bold colors for room décor or furniture, allowing a practical neutral or pale hue on walls to stay tried and true, year after year.
Writing on the Wall
Designate an area of the room for expressing creativity with markers. Benjamin Moore Notable® Dry Erase Paint empowers you to create a dynamic and unique accent wall that your little one will love.
Use Clear over any wall paint color, or opt for the classic "Whiteboard White"!

Keep it Complementary
The chemistry that exists between colors on opposite sides of the color wheel–known as ‘complementary colors’ in color and design parlance–is palpable. Complementary color schemes that include primary or bold colors are said to create excitement or high energy (think sports team jerseys).
Explore how these types of happy color unions – purple & yellow, blue & orange – can infuse any size room with a sense of whimsy, especially if you opt for deep, primary colors. Complementary color schemes can be a bit too bold for some, so using a primary with a lighter or darker complement offers a more subtle option.
Accent on Fun
Make a secondhand find more kid-centric by reviving it with a fresh coat of paint.
ADVANCE®, used here on these pint-sized bathroom chairs, is low VOC and provides a durable and beautiful furniture-like finish. Colorful accent furniture can provide a smile-worthy pop of color in an otherwise color-neutral space.
