Powder Blue

When you're in search of a color that can lift your mood while also keeping things feeling tranquil, a light blue is a no-fail option.

"I love Breath of Fresh Air (806) by Benjamin Moore," says interior designer Cecilia Casagrande. "The name says it all for what you want in your laundry room, clean, bright, and fresh feeling."

Royal Blue

Royal blue is a bold and confident color that will give your laundry room presence. Pair it with cool whites for a crisp coastal feel. Warm it up with brass or rose gold accents. Or mix in some black for a slightly tougher edge.

Navy

Navy paint has become a modern classic for kitchen cabinetry and works just as well in the laundry room. Pair it with gold-toned or black accents for a modern look, and shades of white or gray for a coastal feel.

Paint suggestion: Behr Very Navy

Beige

Soften laundry room walls or cabinetry with beige paint for a cozy neutral feel that makes a change from white and will pair well with shades of white, other neutrals like pale gray, and soft blues, pinks, or greens. Add gold-toned brass accents for extra warmth.

Taupe

A mix of brown and gray, taupe is a neutral that works well in a modern farmhouse laundry room. Pair it with black countertops and cabinet hardware for an industrial farmhouse feel.

Pale Lavender Gray

"We really like to pick fun colors for laundry rooms," says Austin-based interior designer Erin Williamson. "Household chores aren't exactly most people's idea of a good time, but choosing cheerful colors at least encourages you to whistle while you work."

Williamson chose Benjamin Moore's Angelica (AF-665) on the laundry room cabinets at a historic house in California. It's a "sophisticated yet unexpected" take on her client's favorite color purple because Angelica is a pale gray with lavender undertones. After all, the best color to paint your laundry room is a color that you love.

Medium Gray

Medium gray is a natural choice for a modern industrial-style or industrial farmhouse-style laundry room that will stand the test of time. Pair with black accents and white walls for a neutral modern feel.

Dark Gray

For a slightly moody shade that can lend a grounded, cozy feeling to a small space, try dark gray paint. The dramatic color pairs well with white cabinets or stainless steel appliances.

Sage Green

Soft blues and greens are a natural choice for a room devoted to water. Try a muted light sage green for a soothing neutral feel. Pair it with stainless steel appliances and white walls for an earthy but luminous effect. Or add floating shelves in natural wood for a warm accent.

Mint Green

Mint green is a cheerful color that will energize your laundry room while remaining subtle. Complement pastel green cabinetry or walls with charcoal gray tile accents and appliances and antique bronze plumbing fixtures for warmth.

Evergreen

A soothing shade of pale evergreen is a timeless choice for a laundry room that pairs beautifully with dark gray countertops and cool silver-toned appliances and plumbing fixtures.

Forest Green

A rich forest green is a dark neutral you won't get tired of easily. Pair it with white trim or appliances for a high-contrast look.

Paint suggestion: Sherwin-Williams Evergreens

Golden Yellow

In a small laundry room without natural light, paint the walls in an energizing golden yellow color. Try painting an accent wall in a slanted striped pattern that will pack a punch without overwhelming, and pair with contrasting navy cabinets and white countertops for a peppy modern look.

Paint suggestion: Sherwin-Williams Golden Plumeria

Bright Yellow

Brighten your space with sunny yellow paint that will mimic the sun, like this Danish laundry room at The Monica Hotel in Ærøskøbing. Paint the ceiling in the same vivid shade for a fresh modern feel that will envelop the whole room in a warm glow.

Rose Pink

A laundry room can be an ideal canvas for a bolder color choice that would be overwhelming in a larger space. Add definition to cabinetry with rose pink as a contrast against white walls and appliances. To create a sophisticated boudoir feel, pair a dark, warm, and powdery muted rose with a stainless steel washer-dryer combo or create a neo-vintage look with modern glossy black appliances. Add silvery gray accessories and a small crystal chandelier for a dose of unexpected glamour.
