The Seville Home Color Guide · Free download

Colors that make your home look bigger, brighter, cozier and calmer.

Six designer palettes for rooms that look cozy, expensive, timeless, bigger, brighter and calm. Each one names the Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore colors to ask for, and the fabrics, woods and finishes from our floor that bring them to life.

Inside the guide

Six palettes, each with three wall colors, how to use them together, and the pieces we would pair with them. Plus a page on making a low ceiling look taller.

01

Cozy and warm

Warm undertones, earthy taupes and a deep, hazy neutral, paired with leather, shearling and brass.

  • Atrium White Benjamin Moore OC-145
  • Cotswold Benjamin Moore AF-150

  • White Dove Benjamin Moore OC-17
  • Revere Pewter Benjamin Moore HC-172

Bigger

Light walls, a light ceiling and low contrast, so the edges of the room blur. Or the dark route: one deep color everywhere.

06

Calm

A lavender-tinged white, a muted green-gray and a soft sage for a restful bedroom.
