When it comes to designing a space that feels both timeless and on-trend, choosing the right color palette is everything. Earthy neutrals are having a major moment—and for good reason. They bring a sense of calm, connection, and understated luxury to any room.



If you're searching for a paint color that exudes sophistication and warmth, look no further than Benjamin Moore's Ashwood Moss 1484.

Its rich tone pairs seamlessly with a variety of complementary colors, making it a stunning choice for anyone looking to create a timeless aesthetic.

Coordinating Colors for Ashwood Moss

To make the most of Ashwood Moss, pair it with colors that complement its earthy undertone. Here are a few Benjamin Moore suggestions to inspire your palette:


Soft Whites:

How to Use Ashwood Moss in Your Home

  • Kitchens: Paint Ashwood Moss on lower cabinets and pair with White Dove walls for a fresh, modern farmhouse vibe. Add brass cabinet pulls for an elegant touch.
