Here are my TOP, FAVORITE DARK/BLACK-ISH PAINT COLORS. I’m a HUGE fan of dramatic paint colors in the right spaces, especially a good powder room! Here are a few favorite, tried & true super dark paint colors that bring the drama of black but offer a little warmth and/or softness.
There are a ton of great colors out there, these are the ones I turn to. Hopefully, even if you choose a different hue, my tips for choosing the right dark shade are helpful.
ALSO, I just uploaded a video for my Favorite White Paint Colors.

I've been loving all of those dark teal greens- paired with some cool geometric floor tile and gold hardware in a bathroom seems like a total dream!
I love how you show a lot.of visual examples. I've always wanted to do dark colors. I love the drama they create. I agree that dark colors don't always make a space look smaller.
Ceil Constante It’s crazy to me that’s a thing! I can wear white after Labor Day. Let me live, people! Hahha
I recently painted my bedroom a dark forest green walls & ceiling, it made my room look bigger & I sleep during the day sometimes so it's great with blockout curtains. I went light for carpet & curtains in natural tones. So in love with my space & so glad I was bold enough to try it XD. Also painted my living room all white but behind the tv & black tv unit I painted black chalkboard paint & it makes it blend in to the wall & you don't see the dvd player, antenna & cords as clutter as they disappear in the black.
Do you remember what green you finally went with ??? Im wanting to do the exact same thing in my bed room ( ceiling and walls) but I’m struggling with the green colors. I definitely want dark green but I just never k ew there where so many I would love
Omgosh I am so happy to found your video, you have no idea how much I love your panels and how you showed lighting..I could cry, it's been a dream to make my home my own .. you just just made it a reality. Thank you
These 2 videos came right on time!! Did the white 2 years ago, and now adding in black in a few rooms. Thaaaannnkk YOU! You’re killin the fashion game by the way. 😉
This is really useful! I've always been super curious about dark painted walls!
Great vid! So many ppl are afraid of going dark but as u mentioned dark colors recede, and look very dramatic, especially against white baseboards and light art. Having windows or good light in the room helps as well. I did my kitchen in black chalkboard paint against white cabinets years ago, it was fabu!
debra steinbaugh chalkboard is so fun!!! ❤️
@@heymaryelizabeth I agree! I could write messages on it and wipe it down with a damp sponge and it's perfect again 😊
Delicious recommendations...and also you look fabulous!
Ashleigh Davidson Thank you!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Yes! You are so great! I painted my bathroom a really dark swampy blue inspired by your black bathroom a few houses ago. I used the same paint on an accent “nook” in my bedroom. Sometimes I wish my who bedroom was dark and cozy.
I painted an accent wall in my livingroom summer nights! I LOVE IT!!!! no one really thought it would look nice! but I knew it would be perfect and it is!
Great video! Awesome examples... I had no idea there was so much shading to black. "Off black" seems to be my choice. This was very helpful!
You are amazing! I was in Ventura thrifting today and thought of you. So many fun finds, so many things I had to leave behind.
Omg thank you so much for this info. I've been on 2 minds about painting my room a really dark colour. I had choosen between nearly black by f&b and sapphire salute by dulux. But at least I know how to decide. Just the advice I've been looking for xxx
Awesome video!! Thank u. Im saving it to refer to when i choose my dark paint
This is an example of a video I didn’t know I wanted but completely love🙌🏽
You're God sent. I love black walls and I've always wanted to try it. I have creme bedroom furniture. I did a creme wall and accented it with black but for some reason I seems to can't get the right shade colors. After watching your video, the lightbulb went on. Thank you so much. Black didn't make my room small. I ordered several plants. The room gives off a very sophisticated feel. If I can even say a sexy vibe. Once again, THANK YOU SO MUCH.
Love this! I painted my small guest bedroom a dark peacock blue, and my powder room is an eggplant purple. I love how cozy it makes both, and I get tons of compliments!
LolaGeek oooooouuu that sounds so Bomb
Thank you... especially for the examples you showed with all the colors... loved it
We just painted our master bedroom Tricorn Black (Sherwin-Williams full-on Black). Gold metallic ceiling. Black window and door trim, too. It looks so deluxe and glamorous. So glad we did it. And I started typing this before you said this color in your list!
thanks for settling the dark color making a room smaller tip because i have a 450 sq ft studio and i really want to go dark so this is helpful!
I’ve never heard of Farrow & Ball. Just ordered my sample color card. You just created a monster. Oh and even better they also have wallpaper. Exquisitely vintage and now I’m obsessed.
Great layout. So helpful. My go to dark is SW Peppercorn. It’s a dark charcoal black that hints at deep blue in sunlight
My favorite colors I have been looking at charcoal but that blue is a great color idea . Thank you
Mary Elizabeth …… you are simply STUNNING...!!! ❤️❤️❤️
I painted my staircase Sherwin-Williams inkwell, absolutely love it! And it is true that it's very closer to the Farrow & ball railings!
Thanks for the tips!! I would love a home library in a blue black and maybe try a galaxy effect :)
Thank you! I am tip toeing into the world of dark colors, and your video was just what I needed!
I painted a sitting room wall a chartreuse green that was a wrong match in the discount bin of Lowes. I then made a design in white over it. I added a beige couch with a Kate Spade blue and gold accent lamp and a vintage round mirror. I added rich blue pillows and a fur throw. I followed it up with a fiddle fig and vintage finds. Most everything was thrifted and the paint ended up costing me around $4. The accent white paint I already had. Would love for you to see it finished!! You afe amazing and I love your videos!!
I love a dark paint, and love this video!
I am so in love with all of these colors
I just painted a wall Bohemian Black by Sherwin William's. I was a bit scared. But it was on my bucket list, so I went for it. It turned out beautiful and classy.
All those colors are stunning! One of my biggest pet peeves is to here someone disregard dark colors because they think it will make their space seem smaller…. In most cases, as long as the room has some natural light, dark colors can really trick the eye and mind into the sense of space. Yet they also produce a cozy feel instead of the cold feel that some lighter colors bring. One of my all time favorite colors is Calligraphy by Behr, I’ve painted it in most of the different sheens with great results and I’ve painted it interior, exterior, and on furniture pieces. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and amazing style with all!
The Hague Blue ( top last right) looks like what I did my living & dining room, but I use Dark Storm Cloud by Behr with black wrought Iron accents and white Moulding, really love the colors here
Hague blue by f&b is beautiful. That's what I have in my bedroom and absolutely love it!
These are out of this world beautiful colors. Woweeeee. Thanks for the education.
You and your channel are simply FUN!
Tricorn black is the accent color I chose for my boys room! Love it! Tempted to make all the walls dark! ❤️
Erica Beyer So cool! I bet it looks great. It’s such a good one!!! ❤️❤️❤️
I’m truly head over heels school girl giddy over dark interiors. I absolutely love the black greens and the muted, muddy blacks. I am definitely ready to start painting my formal dining room and front room a dark color.
Buahhhhhh, me encantan tus vídeos!!!!
Gracias, gracias, mil gracias
Thank you so much. Trying to paint a corner fireplace.
This was awesome! I'm looking to move next year and I really want a dark dramatic apartment... so chic!
Dillon Wilson Yes! Amazing!!!! 💖
Finally. The video I needed!
I live for your personal styling!!! Can you please do a video on fashion/accessory styling? ❤️
Wow! It’s amazing! It’s beautiful.
Just the video I have been needing!
I need a blue black and Hague Blue might be it. Thank you! Off to get a sample!
💜💜💜💜💜💜mary Elizabeth
im
loving these dark colors thanks💜
very nice rooms and examples......one of the most stunning rooms i've ever seen, was a very ornate old bathroom, painted in high-gloss black. this was back in the 90's. the owner was a terrific all around artist.
I was watching another one of your videos when I realized one of your rooms was Hague Blue just like my bedroom!
I’m going super dark for my office, either Essex Green, Vintage Vogue or Black Forest green. Ceiling and trim too.
Yasssss! Tricorn Black is my go to!!!
Beautiful Mary Elizabeth😘❤️
Please please make a video about your experience with your life coach etc etc and how it helped you with your growth mindset.
Merciiii
I am probably a few months from doing the paint I want. Moving into our new house this week and I have thought of doing a deep moody charcoal in my office space or a deep matte blue/navy in there. Contrast with sharp whites and warm woods. I feel like it'd be the typical "guy" room but majority of my friends and family are way too scared to paint their rooms dark (including the ceiling). I want to see how that works. Add a mirror across from the window to help bring more light in and accentuate the space.
Love the dark moody colors
My very two favorites are:
Back Forrest Green by Benjamin Moore
Hague Blue by Farrow & Ball
Looking forward to try them on my CZcams studio (my home). I wonder if Back Forrest Green is what Pete Mckinnon uses on his studio.
Super awesome video!!! Thank you so much!!! 😊
Great video love the recommendations
I’m doing my bedroom in pine forest, it’s a beautiful Rick dark green.
I would love a huge built in bookcase I could paint a rich deep teal!
Hey Mary! So, I want to diy some thrifted ceramics and get that ultra brass shiny effect like a Jonathan Adler brass piece, but I am unsire of how to achieve it. I figure it would be a shiny metalic spray but then would you add a clear shiny finish spray or lacquer spray? Both? Any help?
Id like to try that chalkboard paint for a wall where a flatscreen mounted. And then draw a porch silluette like the tv is the window.
Into the dark paint. Love Farrow and Ball. I have an artist oil painter
Matte, flat or semi gloss or high gloss for kitchen cabinets. Base cabinets basically.
Is Inkwell grey? I love dark colors. I painted my dining room ceiling with matte black. It’s stunning with white walls, crown molding, and a ceiling medallion.
What would you suggest with low cealing, lige so low you thing its basement (thank God we are small people :D ), but we live in a little house and the loft is also not that high and very sloopy walls. It is not extreamly light nor dark. But I love your suggestion on a black paint on the wall with the TV, I might be convinced. It is since 2012 we moved to the house and I have still not find the perfect paint or wallpaper.
Always love your videos :)
I painted my bedroom Van Deusen Blue and I. freakin'. love. it.
Mickie Halpern Oooh! I gotta check it out!!!! 💙💙💙
@@heymaryelizabeth It's like a less blackened Hale Navy, but it worked perfectly for my windowless bedroom as it comes off as the darker colour feel I was going for. 👍🏻
Mickie Halpern Totally! That’s the thing about paint which feels obvy as I write this but it’s really about the space that it’s in. Depending on light, decor etc, the color can take on a totally different feeling. Plus, I think most paint looks waaaay darker on the wall than a tiny chip. 😘😘😘
Loved it Thanks. Did not talk about the blue one on the right top.
Nikki Soto that’s Hague blue! It’s amazing!!!!!
OMG I LOVE!
Great colors!
Love it!
COOLEST VIDEO ! LOVE IT
Love the black forest green what color goes with it if I just do a feature wal
Question... think of painting my bedroom off black, I have oak wood trims all around my room and Victorian style windows, beige carpet, the only thing I’m torn on is my ceiling is partially slanted on the sides and flat on the very center (it’s a loft room) what color do I paint my ceiling?
I want to use Hale Navy as an accent wall in my bedroom. I just have a strange angled room and not sure where to stop and start
I needed this.
I have an black accent wall in my sort of farmhouse style laundry room. It seems to be a very confused space. I am not sure how to round it out. Maybe more black? 😂
Not sure. We shall see 👀
Hi ,
I love these paint colors. Which color is in the room where you are sitting on the brown couch?
Super helpful! :)
Excellent. Thank you.
Great vid! Thanks!
Thank you!!!
Would you paint shiplap in a bathroom black, I have tons of white tile!?
Thanks for the tips
Hope it was helpful! 🤪😘
I was wondering what color the ceiling is. Did you bring the dark color up or did the ceiling remain a neutral color? Also, do you have tips for styling a dark room? Can we have some?
I would like to paint my powder room a dark forest green with tropical wallpaper on one accent wall. Would you paint the ceiling or leave it white?
Fun fact: some red tones are not a 2 coat job. Some tones of red, even with primer can take up to 7 coats to get the actual color
Benjamin Pauley Yes! Pink too. Ugh. I actually want to do another coat in my bedroom after doing SO MANY coats. You can’t really tell but I can tell staring at it forever!
@@heymaryelizabeth right? And I love that top. Part of me is waiting for you to yell out something like "Hermes!" Or "Balenciaga!"
Great, really informative video.
Do u think u can do a diy vanity using a plank of wood?
If you used Railings for your exterior and your windows are black what trim color would you do? Door is natural, light wood
I’ve never seen a video on paint. You made it so interesting.
Some more recommendations, for people looking for similar colors
Benjamin Moore Dark Harbor
Benjamin Moore Gentleman’s Gray
Benjamin Moore Shadow
Farrow & Ball Inchyra Blue
I enjoyed this video immensely. It was so professional and helpful! What do you think of Sherwin William's Black Swan?
I don’t know it exactly but I LOVE dark colors! They bring such drama and glamour! I say, if you love it, go for it!!
Amazing video im going for dark blue navy ish kitchen cabinets so this was great 👍 now on a totally unrelated topic, I don’t know why but the way you talk reminds me of selena gomez lol
A substitute for Hague Blue is Sherwin Williams Sea Serpent.
What colour of dark paint would go with terracotta and red?
Painted my son room Benjamin Moore Hale Navy. Loooovet
Can you give us some good examples of dark ceilings as well as dark walls please
