What Color Is Benjamin Moore November Rain 2142-60?
Benjamin Moore November Rain is part of the Color Preview collection, known for its rich and expressive tones. It’s considered a light neutral paint with a refined mix of gray, green, and beige—often described as a soft greige with subtle green undertones. It’s warm without being too yellow, cool without being too blue, and just colorful enough to give walls character while maintaining a peaceful backdrop. Think of it as a gentle whisper of color that feels clean and balanced.
November Rain Undertones and How They Shift with Light
One of the most interesting aspects of November Rain is its ability to shift slightly depending on lighting. In north-facing rooms, it leans more gray, offering a cooler, sophisticated feel. In south-facing spaces, natural light brings out the hint of green and warm beige undertones, making it feel cozier and sunnier. This subtle shift gives the paint personality while still keeping it grounded in neutrality. It’s an excellent example of how paint undertones play a role in your overall interior look.
Best Rooms and Design Styles for November Rain Walls
This calming and soft interior paint color works beautifully in almost any room. It’s especially popular in living rooms, bedrooms, and kitchens, where homeowners want a light, relaxing atmosphere. November Rain complements modern, farmhouse, coastal, and transitional styles effortlessly, whether paired with shiplap, sleek cabinetry, or rustic accents. It’s a color that adapts to its environment while setting the tone for comfort and ease.
Coordinating Colors and Paint Pairings That Work with November Rain
To complete your November Rain color palette, consider pairing it with creamy or crisp whites like Benjamin Moore White Dove or Chantilly Lace for trim and ceilings. For accent colors, deeper neutrals like Revere Pewter, Chelsea Gray, or even a rich navy like Hale Navy create striking contrast. These coordinating paint colors help create depth and harmony in your space, especially when layering with textiles or wood tones.
Designer Tips for Using November Rain in Your Home
Interior designers often recommend eggshell or matte finishes for November Rain on walls, which add a soft, velvety texture without glare. Use Aura® Interior Paint or Eco Spec® for high performance and low VOC. To make the most of the shade’s natural shift, always test a paint swatch in your specific room and lighting before committing. For trim or cabinetry, go with a semi-gloss finish for easy cleaning and subtle contrast. Pair with natural elements—like wood, linen, and stone—for a designer-approved, serene interior.
