There are also suggestions for beige neutrals with a touch of yellow from Benjamin and Sherwin-Williams.

Best Benjamin Moore and Sherwin-Williams Paint Colors for the Man Room

Solid Reds for the Red Sox Man Room

Use a solid red to add energy to the man room. These bright and bold hues also add excitement. They are the perfect audience to your sports watching afternoons and weekends.

Consider painting one focal wall in one of these reds, or paint trim, a bar, and doors with any of these reds.

One bold choice that will have you on your feet is Stop #6869 by Sherwin-Williams. Stop red is a slightly less bold red than Real Red by by Sherwin-Williams. This bold hue for the man room is a red with a touch of chalk.

A similar more subdued red from Benjamin Moore Paints is their Neon Red. Despite the name, this paint color is not bright, it is dusty.

Another bright hue that fits in with the team's colors and the man room is Exotic Red by Benjamin Moore Paints. This is one color that will add excitement to the man-only space.

Blues for the Red Sox Man Room

The blue in the Red Sox team colors is a solid, steady and constant blue. Its the blue of the Boston Harbor on a cool spring day. Use Commodore blue #6524 by Sherwin-Williams

Or consider a brighter blue from Sherwin-Williams, their Frank Blue #6967.

Sometimes an Old Navy blue can be seen in the team's outfits and imagery. Old Navy by Benjamin Moore is that color of brand new jeans that you can't wait to get into the wash. This is a solid and grounding color that should only be used in large spaces, or as an accent color.

The color would suit a man room that is also used as the media room.

Another blue option is a brighter hue form Benjamin More, their Patriot Blue paint.

Grays for the Man Room

If you like the replica Red Sox jersey, incorporate some Julbilee Gray #6248 from Sherwin-Williams into the Red Sox Theme Man Room.

Or go with a lighter complementary gray form Benjamin Moore Paints, their Bunny Gray. Don't worry about the fluffy name of this neutral paint color, it's quite a masculine color.

Neutrals for the Man Room

For neutrals, pick light colors with a touch of yellow, to complement the blue. Wool Skein #6148 by Sherwin-Williams is a beige that will pair well with the Sherwin-Williams blues for the Red Sox Theme Man Room.

For small or dark spaces, brighten up the man room with the neutral and creamy Vanilla Ice Cream by Benjamin Moore.

Crisp Whites

No Red Sox theme man room would be complete without some crisp whites from Benjamin Moore Paints. and Sherwin-Williams. Crisp and clean Ice Mist by Benjamin Moore will add a cool neutral to the man room.

Another clean white from Benjamin Moore Paints is Snow White.

From Sherwin-Williams consider the Extra White. Pure White or Snowbound.
