Best colors for kids room
Inspirations
From dreamy pastels to energetic brights, paint color makes magic in kids' rooms.
Whether you are hoping to spark their imagination, or give them their very own hideout, choosing a kids' room paint color should be fun. With 3,500+ options, Benjamin Moore has the paint color for every kid, and every personality.
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. Using bold accent colors against off-white is the perfect way to create color equilibrium. And layering in color with decor, throws, and bedding is the icing on the cake!
Here, cheery Raspberry Blush 2008-30 cabinets pop against Paper White OC-55 walls, and an array of colorful pillows and patchwork-style rug come together to create a vibrant sanctuary that sparks imagination.
Achieving Color Balance
Benjamin Moore has ideal paints to achieve this balance in the colour palette, such as, for example, Yellow Highlighter 2021-40 that provides the shine softened by Cotton Balls 2145-70 at the edges, and complemented with Downpour Blue 2063-20 on the back wall.
And if you want your wall to maintain the desired colour for a long time, you will surely be interested in Benjamin Moore's high-quality paints that will allow you to accompany the transition of your son from a baby to the childhood, without having to repaint the room, and without them losing any of its properties.
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. For some, complementary color schemes may be a bit too bold. Using a primary hue with a lighter or darker complementary color, offers a more subtle option.

With Benjamin Moore's paintings you can experiment with a cheerful colour scheme: yellow, blue and orange, which will give the children's room a touch of fantasy, as if it were a true fairy tale.
