Best Retro Paint Color or Suburban Modern Paint Color for the Den #1: Bunny Gray

This gray is one of the hippest retro paint colors perfect for a home office. If you have outfitted your home office with vintage office furniture or reproduction retro office furniture, then this should be a good match.

The cool gray of this from Benjamin Moore makes it the perfect wall color for a sophisticated home office that will not distract you. Be sure to add color with the accents, furniture, and art work you choose. If not, this gray could become a little plain and institutional.

Try using fun retro blue picture frames and funky retro fabrics to liven it up.

Ok, this pink from Benjamin Moore is for the ladies. Pink is fun retro paint color perfect for a home studio, scrap booking room, or all around retro girl room. It is a nice retro pink with a touch of earth tone in it.

If you have pink tiles, vintage details, or retro appliances left in your home, then this is also perfect for a retro pink bathroom or kitchen as well. Look for reproduction retro inspired fabric to keep this look updated.

Great accent colors in Th accessories and furniture would include rich chocolate brown and fresh mint green. Use these in the fabrics, rug, and curtains for warmth in your retro home office.

Finally, retro green. Retro green is my personal favorite color for a hip or mod home office. There is something cool and refreshing about this yummy mint green from Benjamin Moore. It goes on smooth on yoru walls and pairs well with modern furniture as well.

Tip: Try painting the trim in your home office a light retro gray. Maybe a lighter shade of the first color. This will match much better than stark white trim against this cool green.
