The Best Nursery Paint Colors for a Baby Boy’s Nursery by Benjamin Moore

Benjamin Moore Boothbay Gray

Benjamin Moore Boothbay Gray is a gorgeous alternative to a traditional blue color scheme for a little boy.

I LOVE it on this nursery accent wall (or feature wall) from Design Loves Detail, and honestly, its green undertones could work for a gender-neutral or baby girl’s nursery as well.

Personally I wouldn’t have thought to use a black crib, but it’s darker tones are the perfect contrast to an otherwise light room.

When should I paint my nursery?

According to ConsumerReports.org, you should paint the baby’s nursery at least two months before your baby arrives. That allows time for fumes to subside before your baby comes home. Use a paint that’s labeled low-VOC or zero VOCs (volatile organic compounds), which are solvents that are released into the air as the paint dries and may be irritating to a baby–and some adults.
