But with the vast array of colors to choose from, finding the best paint colors for you can be a long, drawn-out process. For your inspiration, consider these 2021 paint color trends featuring a delightful mix of rich earthen colors, warm neutral hues and vibrant jewel tones. 

Canyon Dusk

Behr’s 2021 color of the year is inspired by the tranquility and grandeur of desert canyons and mesas. Like many 2021 paint color trends, Canyon Dust is meant to bring natural outdoor colors indoors. This warm hue is the perfect interior paint to give your senior apartment a calm, grounded ambience. Soft enough to make your apartment an inviting space with just the right amount of boldness to make a statement that says comfortable elegance.

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.

Passionate 

Adding to the best paint colors to add a pop of vibrancy to your senior apartment home, HGTV Home by Sherwin-Williams’ dusky deep red called Passionate is a bold new jewel tone.

Granite Dust

For Valspar’s 2021 paint colors of the year, the company selected 12 tonesintended to be backdrops that create stillness in the noise of daily life. Granite Dust is a gray  hue that resolutely accomplishes that task. This near-perfect neutral can be warm or cool depending on the space it occupies and the décor surrounding it. The not-quite-true-gray with subtle hints of green is perfect for senior apartment kitchens, cabinets, office spaces, and everything in between.
