About dining room paint colors

Dining rooms are where deep, saturated colors come alive. Most dining happens in the evening under warm tungsten or LED bulbs, which makes saturated darks (navy, hunter green, burgundy, deep aubergine) bloom in a way they never do under daylight.

The picks below skew darker and bolder than most other room lists. Hale Navy on all four walls of a small formal dining room is the cult dining-room move of the decade. Hunter green and oxblood are the alternatives when navy feels expected. For more relaxed dining, soft sages and warm beiges keep the room casual.
