Top Interior Paint Colors Right Now: Gray, Green & Rockland Gold

One of the easiest ways to completely change how a room feels? A fresh coat of paint. At MGP Painting, we’ve been seeing a clear trend: homeowners are loving shades of gray, calming greens, and the rich warmth of Rockland Gold.

Each one brings a different vibe—so whether you’re going for something bold or peaceful, there's a color that fits.

Rockland Gold: Rich, Warm, and Classy

If you're after something a little different but still timeless, Rockland Gold might be the one. It’s a warm golden color that looks amazing in formal spaces or anywhere you want a bit of elegance.

Why people love it:

  • It reflects natural light in a really flattering way
  • Makes a space feel warm and welcoming
  • Looks great with both modern and traditional styles
  • Works well with deep navy, espresso brown, crisp white, and soft grays

Want to go a step further? We often recommend pairing it with crown molding or other trim details to really bring out the architecture of a room. If you're considering a complete transformation, our interior painting services cover everything from color selection to detailed finishing touches, ensuring your vision comes to life beautifully.

Gray: Clean, Modern, and Always in Style

Gray’s not going anywhere. It’s clean, it’s neutral, and it works with just about any design style.

Some gray shades people are loving right now:

  • Light gray – makes small rooms feel open
  • Gray-blue – calming, great for bedrooms
  • Warm gray – cozy but still modern
  • Cool gray – sleek and great for kitchens or offices

Quick tip: Painting interior doors gray (especially in a satin or semi-gloss finish) is a simple way to add style without committing to darker walls.

Other spots where gray shines:

  • Kitchens with gray cabinets or walls
  • Bathrooms with gray tile or paint and gold or black fixtures
  • Hallways for a neutral base that ties everything together

Green: Calm, Natural, and On-Trend

Green is having a major moment. From soft sage tones to bold emerald, green feels fresh and grounded—and works in almost every room.

Green paint shades we’re seeing everywhere:

  • Sage – light, earthy, and calming
  • Emerald – bold and luxurious
  • Olive – adds warmth and depth
  • Pale mint – bright and breezy

Green pairs especially well with:

  • Natural wood, beige, or linen tones
  • White or light gray accents for a clean, Scandinavian look
  • Black or brass hardware for a modern touch

If you’re eco-conscious, a good pick is Emerald Interior Acrylic Latex Paint—it’s durable, beautiful, and better for the environment.

Want to Mix and Match? These Colors Actually Go Great Together

If you’re not into just one color, good news—you don’t have to choose. Gray, green, and Rockland Gold all play well together.

Ideas we love:

  • Gray walls with emerald green accents (pillows, chairs, curtains, etc.)
  • Rockland Gold on an accent wall with soft gray trim
  • Olive green wall + gray doors = modern but grounded
