Slate blue
Trust me, slate blue isn’t as fleetingly whimsical as a blue sky or cobalt. Slate is a much calmer shade, and it’s worth testing out. The gray in its base sends the color in a more foundational direction that won’t feel just as dated down the road.
For anyone who wants to try navy or black but doesn’t have the guts, slate is a much better medium between these moody darker shades and all the other lighter grays.
Beige
Beige can be easily teased as the definition of a “dull” painting color, but here’s the thing: it will never run out of style. Beige managed to break the barrier of time as a staple color. It’s one of the safest options ever, and it’s a hue that will forever remain a constant as furniture, accents, rugs, and curtains get swapped in and out.
Beige isn’t as boring as it sounds, either, because the variations are incredibly diverse, even if you’re craving a warmer tone for walls in a sunroom or just a cozy light hue for the bathroom.
