Aegean Teal
Benjamin Moore introduced their 2021 paint color trends with the stunning Aegean Teal headlining. As the color of the year, this jewel tone is meant to create a sense of natural harmony as a primary wall color. Aegean Teal lends a cool openness best suited for naturally lit rooms, and also makes for a dramatic accent color on cabinets, doors and two-tone walls.

Chestertown Buff
Another of Benjamin Moore’s 2021 color palette, Chestertown Buff is a gentle tan that seamlessly fits within both contemporary and classic home styles. This earthy hue is reminiscent of a countryside wheat field, with all the sophistication of an upscale manor. It also pairs perfectly with Aegean Teal for a fun, vibrant combination that can transport any room in your senior apartment to a quaint inn.
