Best 2027 paint colors for Houston homes

• Celery SW 6421 (Sherwin-Williams): light herbal green; strong sun brings out its yellow undertone, so sample it on a sunny wall.
• Nelson Blue CW-635 (Benjamin Moore, LRV 65.4): a watery pale blue that stays calm in bright light.
• Shakespeare Tan 228 (Benjamin Moore, LRV 47.4): a golden neutral; warm and bright in afternoon sun.

• White Down OC-131 (Benjamin Moore, LRV 76.7): a cozy off-white with hints of cream that won't look gray in a dim room.
• White Duck SW 7010 (Sherwin-Williams): a soft, light warm white from the Rewild Continuity Colors.
• Lotus Petal SW 9697 (Sherwin-Williams): a very light, soft blush for bedrooms.
• Keep deep colors to one wall or to cabinets in dim rooms, and use a light ceiling.

• Webster Green HC-130 (Benjamin Moore): suggested by Benjamin Moore for cabinetry; a bold, classic deep green.
• Celery SW 6421: a soft, fresh alternative for a lighter kitchen.
• Townsend Harbor Brown HC-64 (Benjamin Moore, LRV 8.2) or Cordovan SW 6027 (Sherwin-Williams): deep burgundy-browns for an island.
• On cabinets we use a cabinet-grade enamel such as Benjamin Moore Command; see cabinet refinishing.

• Celery SW 6421 or Quietude SW 6212 (a soft mid-tone green-gray from the Rewild forecast).
• Wild Aster 1240 (Benjamin Moore, LRV 70.5): a pink with a whisper of gray that works like a neutral.
• Use a moisture-resistant, scrubbable product in satin, and keep the exhaust fan running.

• Webster Green HC-130: Benjamin Moore suggests it for a study; enveloping and focused.
• Durango 2137-30 (Benjamin Moore, LRV 12.3): a deep neutral with olive tones.
• Dutch Tile Blue SW 0031 (Sherwin-Williams): a mid-tone blue from the Rewild Continuity Colors, calmer than a deep color.

• Webster Green HC-130: Benjamin Moore lists front doors as a use.
• Roycroft Bronze Green SW 2846 or Secret Garden SW 6181 (Sherwin-Williams): deep greens from the Rewild forecast.
• Townsend Harbor Brown HC-64: a grounded burgundy door.
• Deep colors fade faster and get hotter in Houston sun: use a fade-resistant exterior product, and check HOA rules. See HOA exterior paint rules.

Classic deep greens and browns suit traditional and transitional homes: Webster Green on built-ins or a study, Antique Copper 1169 (Benjamin Moore, LRV 20.2, a warm spiced brown) in a dining room, and Renwick Golden Oak SW 2824 (Sherwin-Williams) as a warm accent, with a creamy white such as White Down or White Duck on trim.

Modern interiors suit restrained palettes with one strong move: soft whites and Nelson Blue or Quietude on walls, with a single deep color (Webster Green cabinets, a Clove SW 9605 accent wall or a Durango front door) for contrast. Keep sheens consistent and lines crisp.
