Benjamin Moore’s HC-170 Stonington Grey

If you’re familiar with Brian Gluckstein’s design aesthetic, you’re sure to know he’s a big fan of neutrals. Not only do neutral hues tend to stand the test of time longer than their bold, vibrant counterparts (especially when it comes to laying the base for your home), they can often be seriously underrated for their impact on the feel of a space. Most of us yearn for a warm, inviting home, especially in the cold winter months. One easy way to achieve that look is through paint colour. Think warm neutral hues with a hint of heat from reds, yellows, pinks, or oranges. These subtle undertones help evoke a sense of calm coziness and make for a relaxing space you won’t want to leave.

We’re listing a few of our favourite warm hues by Benjamin Moore below. Choose one depending on the look you’re going for in your space.
