Benjamin Moore Sea Salt (CSP-95) is a popular paint color that is taking the interior design world by storm! With many homeowners and designers moving away from gray interiors, to warmer toned environments, this paint color works beautifully with this change in trend. If you have been searching for a paint color to help warm up your spaces – this one could be exactly what you need!

I understand why homeowners struggle to choose a paint color for their homes – there is an overwhelming amount of choice! Plus – many of the colors are only ever-so-slightly different. If you have had your eyes on making some changes to your home, and moving into warmer tones, this could be exactly what you’re looking for!

Benjamin Moore Sea Salt is a warm gray paint color with undertones of brown and beige. The brown undertones make this color warm and welcoming, however can be used with cooler colors to balance this out within a space if needed. Often referred to as a “soft-gray-brown” shade, they have taken inspiration from the seaside and created this color similar to a warm tropical beach.

Use brighter colors to create a feature wall and use Sea Salt as a neutral color for the other walls. Alternatively, use this paint color for a warm all-over wall color.

What To Watch Out For

As with any paint color you choose, there are some considerations to take into account when using Benjamin Moore Sea Salt in your home.

The main thing to avoid is falling into the “muddy” trap. With warm interiors that feature brown and beige tones, it can be very easy to make a space look “muddy”. So it is important to think carefully about where you will be using this paint color, and what it will be paired with (what color furniture, accessories, wall art, etc). Make sure to add plenty of neutrals and other colors that aren’t within the “muddy” color range.
