Looking for the right paint color for your home? We have hand-picked selections for the best paint colors for interiors and exteriors, low light, natural light, artificial light -- plus tips for choosing the right paint color for any space.

Paint colors are one of the trickiest parts of putting together a perfect room, so we are so glad to have the amazing Cyndy from The Creativity Exchange as part of our team, ready to teach us about paint colors, palettes, and things like undertones and color balances — Cyndy does a great job recommending beautiful paint colors and teaching the principles of what makes certain colors work for certain spaces (and not for others). Be sure to check out all of the great colors and info she shared in 2015 here, and here is what she shared here on Remodelaholic in 2016: the best paint colors of the year!
