Walls and Ceiling: Simply White Benjamin Moore // Dutch Door: Blue Note Benjamin Moore // (Cabinets were stock color called Snowcap from my cabinet company). Find my galley kitchen reveal post here.
Since many of you have asked about the paint colors used throughout our home, I created this consolidated paint color resource page to make it easier to find the exact shades we’ve used. Over the years I’ve mixed brands and tones—whites, grays, and blues—and it can get confusing even for me, especially when remembering which color was used in which room.
This guide lists the specific paint colors for rooms, doors, and exterior elements in our house so far. I hope it helps you identify the right shades when planning your own projects and ensures I share the correct color names and brands.
Below you’ll find the paint choices shown in the photos. Each caption identifies the color and brand, so you can reference them when shopping or ordering samples. Lighting, finish, and surrounding decor will affect how a paint reads in your space; I recommend testing samples in the room before committing to a full paint job.

This collection reflects the paints we’ve chosen for various elements in the home—walls, ceilings, doors, cabinetry, and exterior brick. When selecting paint, think about the undertone (warm, cool, or neutral), the finish (matte, eggshell, satin, or semi-gloss), and how natural and artificial light will change the color throughout the day.
If you’re unsure about a color, grab a small sample and paint a 2-foot square on the wall or use large sample boards placed in different parts of the room. Observe them in morning, midday, and evening light to see how the shade behaves. This simple step prevents costly mistakes and helps you choose the best match for your space.
For trim, ceilings, and doors, I typically choose either a crisp white or a slightly warm white to coordinate with the wall color. Cabinetry can be a different but complementary shade—sometimes a factory stock color like Snowcap works well and gives a clean, consistent finish.
Thank you for taking the time to look through these paint selections. I hope this page serves as a helpful reference for your own paint projects and makes it easy to identify the exact colors used in our home.
