5 GRAY Paint Colour Palettes for a Kid's Bedroom (PART 1 of 3)

The Best Gray Paint Colours (Kids): Benjamin & Sherwin

THE SERIES: PART 1 of 3

Before Pinterest, people didn’t pay as much attention to the colour palettes in their kid’s bedrooms. Whatever colour the wall happened to BE was how it stayed until the kids moved out 18 years later.

Benjamin Moore Amherst Gray feature wall with warm off-white main walls

However, thanks to the online world, our eyes have been opened up as to how kids rooms can not only be fabulous spaces for kids to be in, they can ALSO be integrated into the style of the entire home!

(Follow me on Pinterest for some fab kids bedroom ideas and more!)

BTW, I know this blog post is old-fashioned in saying that these colours are for boys/him/he, as they’re well-suited for girls/she/her/them/they. This is an OLD blog post that I’ve tried to update and edit, but Google doesn’t like it if I change main titles/links so I have to be careful. I’m also slowly working on updating the graphics on all of my ‘kid-related’ blog posts. Please know that my heart’s in a good place :).

So for those of you looking to FAB up your wee one’s bedroom, here are THREE of my fave GRAY paint colour palettes…

1. Kid’s GRAY Bedroom Paint Colour Palette

A NATURAL, NAUTICAL VIBE

I love the high contrast, but balanced vibe of this palette. Blue is a great colour when paired with gray, keeping things calm and collected while the red adds a dose of fun!

WALL OPTIONS (a) Benjamin Moore Gray Owl, Big Chill, On the Rocks, Benjamin Moore Stonington Gray

ACCENTS Benjamin Moore Schooner (b), Benjamin Moore White Dove (c), Benjamin Moore Tropicana Cabana (d), Benjamin Moore Exotic Red (e)

2. Bedroom Paint Colour Palette

CABIN INDUSTRIAL

This room feels calming and restful with its organic earth-toned palette. While the red and orange jazz things up, the overall look is a little bit rustic and a little bit rock and roll!

3. Bedroom Paint Colour Palette

GRAY, GRAPHIC & GORGEOUS!

This palette is a bit more high contrast than the above two. This bedroom is fresh, fun and timeless with the light gray walls and navy blue and red accents – LOOOVE it.

4. Bedroom Paint Colour Palette

CALM & CLASSIC

This palette takes a more subtle approach. And while I’ve got a darker charcoal gray with lighter warm gray/greige main walls and coral and navy blue accents, you can jazz up this palette almost any way you like with a wide range of accent colours!
