Popular Black Paint Colors
Today I wanted to highlight some of the most popular black paint colors out there and show you why black is making such a huge comeback on walls, cabinetry and interior/exterior doors.
Black Paint Colors for Walls
One of the hottest trends in paint colors in the last six months has been the surge of black interior walls. All of the sudden, we are seeing black walls everywhere and while it may sound a little out there, it actually can be so amazing when the other elements layered in a space compliment and balance the dark walls.
These black shiplap walls mixed with the patterned flooring and white accents is such a gorgeous combination. As you can see, the balance is perfect and the black does not overwhelm the space.

If you’re not quite ready to paint your walls completely black, a great compromise is using wainscoting and painting the bottom half white.

Sherwin-Williams Tricorn Black is one of the most popular black paint colors right now because it is a neutral black with no strong undertones that consistently works well in a variety of lighting situations.

Sherwin-Williams Caviar has a little brown in the base of the black, which is why it’s also a very popular black right now.

Black Paint Colors for Cabinetry
Black cabinetry is also making a huge comeback. Whether on kitchen cabinets, media centers or interior trims, we have been seeing a surge of black being used in these areas by designers and home builders in the last six months.
A popular cabinetry black right now is Benjamin Moore Cheating Heart that has a stunning and rich gray undertone in the base.

Black Paint Colors for Interior/Exterior Doors
One of strongest trends in paint that we have seen in the last few years that is still going strong into 2017 are black interior/exterior doors. I love this trend because it makes such a big and dramatic impact.

When it comes to choosing just the right blacks either for walls, cabinetry or interior/exterior doors, look at the undertones in your space. For example, if you have warm oak floors, choose a black that has a little brown/gray in the base like Benjamin Moore Wrought Iron. If you have a lot of shades of blue in your space, choose a black with a blue or gray undertone like Sherwin-Williams Inkwell.
