IN THE MOOD FOR: A Peaceful Nook
Create an intimate and cozy room by wrapping a small space in Behr’s Black Sapphire ( PPU15-19), a moody deep blue that is rich and bold. For a more neutral look, try Wild Truffle (HDC-NT-27B), a beautifully soft brown-gray.
IN THE MOOD FOR: Powerful Office Vibes
Meet Rumors, Behr’s 2025 Color Of The Year! It is a deep ruby hue with brown undertones. According to Erika Woelfel, vice president of Color and Creative Services at Behr, Rumors is a riff on the reds of the ’90s (cherry reds with blue undertones), but with a hit of brown to make it mellower and more livable. It’s a shade that feels dramatic and powerful, the perfect color to get you going in the morning and keep you focused throughout the day. Read more about Rumors here .
IN THE MOOD FOR: A Sophisticated Kids Room
While we love pretty pinks, baby blues or soft yellows for kids’ rooms, why not opt for a paint shade like Boreal (N420-5), a rich green-gray. Try incorporating wall moldings for a sophisticated look that will age with your child.
IN THE MOOD FOR: A Calming Breakfast Nook
Provide depth to a breakfast corner with Oxford Street (N270-4), a sophisticated camel that is never out of style. To keep a traditional and tailored look, use white on mouldings and baseboards and keep with earthy tones on cabinets and custom mill work like the light green on the built-in banquette.
IN THE MOOD FOR: A Dramatic Powder Room
A sooty black with undertones of charcoal gray, Cracked Pepper (PPU18-01) has the ability to work in different areas of the house. Color drenching—one of our 2024 design trends—involves wrapping a space in one solid hue, including the baseboards, walls and ceiling to create a monochromatic look like this dramatic and elegant powder room. Test it out! It is a misconception that dark colors make a room smaller.
