Dark Paint Guide

The MGD Dark Paint Guide

Design
November 3, 2020

We’re so excited to share our Dark Paint Guide with you today all of Mindy’s favorite dark paint colors in the realms of blue, green, gray, and black. A few of these colors can be found in various MGD projects, and we can’t wait to see them in your own homes. When searching for the perfect paint color, make sure you bring samples home first and try them in your space before making a choice. Many colors and hues change based on the natural light in a room, other finishes such as flooring and furniture, etc, so we always recommend getting samples in large scale before pulling the trigger and painting anything. With that being said, scroll on down and see our picks!

      Hi! That reading nook is actually Black Panther by Benjamin Moore. There’s so much natural light in the space, it reads more blue in the photo!
