2019 Color of the Year Benjamin Moore Metropolitan Color Schemes


Metropolitan
is a stylish, mid-tone grey paint colour with blue-green undertones. It's subtle and sophisticated without pretension. It's calming, versatile and neutral making it suitable for almost any design style......hence the reason why I chose it for the base of the following colour schemes. :)

PRO TIP:  The paint colour palettes presented here can be used for painting the walls throughout your home, or you can use them as guidelines for selecting furniture and décor.  I suggest picking up the paint sample cards from your local paint store and carrying them with you as you shop for furniture and décor. Use the sample cards to compare the colour with furniture and decor you select to help you stay within the guidelines of your chosen colour scheme.

Perfect Paint Color Checklist & Guide

Before we dive in, let’s talk about the grey component in Benjamin Moore’s Metropolitan. Grey is calming, soothing and versatile. Grey is actually not a colour, but rather a mix of pure white and dramatic black. Because of its understated quality, it's considered a true neutral and pairs well with almost any colour. Therefore it can be used freely throughout your space. It offers the perfect backdrop for other colours to dominate and is especially popular in contemporary interiors. That being said, grey can feel depressing if too much of it is present. It’s important to balance it with other colours or use warm tones of grey to make it more comforting.  These paint colour schemes will do just that.

 BENJAMIN MOORE METROPOLITAN #5 | WARM GREY COLOUR SCHEME

Warm greys are some of my favourite colours.  They’re modern, but not stark.  They’re approachable and work well in both traditional and contemporary interiors.  This is the lightest colour palette of all the ones presented, but Steel Wool offers wonderful contrast if you'd like to add a bold neutral colour to your space.
