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.

Benjamin Moore Whitestone Gray

Benjamin Moore Whitestone Gray is a classic gray paint color with blue undertones.

Gray creates the perfect neutral background so that you can get creative with other accent colors, through your furniture and décor choices.

It’s a great choice for a baby boy’s nursery where you could incorporate a lot of fun, different shades of blue, like this designer from Apartment 34.

Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace

Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace is one of those paint colors you could literally use anywhere, and it’s perfect in this white nursery.

It’s the optimal shade of crisp white, with no undertones, and Jillian Harris nailed using it here on her board and batten wall.

White walls are not for everyone, but you have to admit this color palette is calming!

Benjamin Moore Big Bend Beige

Benjamin Moore Big Bend Beige is the best beige to match with anything and everything.

It really shines in nurseries with a lot of natural light!

I personally used this color in both my son and daughter’s nurseries, which makes it a true gender-neutral nursery color.

I still love it as much as the day we put it up! I know it will stand the test of time, even as my children grow older.

Benjamin Moore Ashwood

Benjamin Moore Ashwood is a mix of white and beige, for those who can’t decide on either!

A lot of times I hear that white is too boring, but not this off-white neutral color option The Ivory Lane used in her nursery design.

This soft color may just give you the warmth you’re looking for.

Frequently Asked Questions about Nursery Paint Colors

What paint is best for a nursery?

One of the most common questions is whether you need a special paint for a baby’s room. This article interviews 7 top experts on why choosing a baby safe paint for the nursery is so important.

What were some of their top paint line recommendations for a new baby?

  • Harmony from Sherwin-Williams
  • Lullaby Paints
  • Benjamin Moore Eco Spec
  • Natura Waterborne by Benjamin Moore

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.
