There is no denying that some colors are easier to decorate with than others. With failsafe hues like navy, rose pink, and forest green that we see adorning our social feeds on a daily basis, there are certain colors that we just know will definitely work well with them.

These hues have reigned in the most popular shades for decades, but we are starting to see a shift to more... unique shades. More complex colors that have more depth and interest. One of those shades is Benjamin Moore's Antique Pewter, which is quickly becoming one of Benjamin Moore's most popular paints.

Combine Antique Pewter with Neutrals

Trish Knight, interior designer and co-founder of Knight Varga Interiors, suggests combining Antique Pewter with other neutral hues.

'I particularly love seeing this color paired with whites, creams, and shades of off-black,' says Trish. 'In a neutral room, adding a cognac leather accent chair or ottoman would emphasize the earthiness of Antique Pewter beautifully.'

The neutral shades of the furniture and accessories in this dining area work to make Antique Pewter look warm and enhance its green undertones.

Combining both soft gray and earthy green, this warm gray or cool green inherently has a lot of depth and interest. But with two visible colors in one, how do we know what shades will pair nicely with it?
