I love Grounded in spaces where you want the room to feel warm, comfortable and a little cocooning. I could see it being beautiful in a bedroom, dining room, office or even a kitchen. In a bedroom, I&#8217;d use it on all four walls and pair it with warm woods, creamy bedding and natural textures. In a kitchen, it would be gorgeous on cabinetry or an island with warm stone and brass accents. It has enough depth to make a room interesting without feeling too heavy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A.

Definitely both. As an accent, Grounded is a great way to bring color into a neutral room without it feeling like a huge commitment. I&#8217;d use it on cabinetry, built-ins, a kitchen island or even a ceiling. But I also love it as a full room color because it has those earthy brown undertones that make it feel really livable. It gives you color while still acting almost like a neutral.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q.<\/strong> <strong>Why do you think Grounded will resonate with consumers? Are you seeing homeowners gravitate toward these earthy, nature-inspired tones?

We&#8217;ve spent years looking at these highly styled, picture-perfect spaces and there&#8217;s been a real shift toward rooms that actually feel good to live in. Earthy colors like Grounded help create that feeling because they&#8217;re familiar and connected to nature. They work beautifully with wood, stone, linen and all the materials people are already bringing into their homes. I&#8217;m definitely seeing homeowners become more comfortable with richer, muddier colors instead of feeling like everything has to be white, beige or gray.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q.

Grounded is really versatile because you can take it in so many directions. I love it with Coastal Beige or Environmental for something soft and tonal. Denim Light is such a pretty pairing because the blue gives you a little contrast while still feeling calm and natural. For something warmer, I&#8217;d pair it with Sedona Pink or Cocoa Nutmeg. And if you want more drama, Ancient Root would be beautiful. Grounded can handle a deeper color next to it because it has enough richness of its own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q.

Grounded doesn&#8217;t feel precious, which is one of the things I really like about it. It has this earthy quality that works beautifully with the things we actually live with, like worn wood, vintage pieces, natural fabrics, family photos and objects collected over time. People are tired of feeling like every corner of their home needs to be camera-ready. Your home should be the place where you can come in, put your stuff down and exhale. Grounded already has some age and warmth built into it, so it sits right alongside worn wood and vintage pieces instead of competing with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q.

I would put it on the ceiling. People forget about the ceiling all the time and Grounded would be gorgeous overhead in a bedroom, dining room or powder room. You could keep the walls lighter and let that olive tone wrap the top of the room. It would add so much personality without taking over the entire space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q.

To me, Hidden Gem feels moodier and a little more dramatic because of that smoky jade quality. I&#8217;d use it when I want a space to feel sophisticated and make more of a statement. Grounded feels warmer and earthier. The brown undertones make it really easy to live with, so I&#8217;d be more likely to use it across a larger space or in rooms where I want that relaxed, natural feeling. They&#8217;re both greens, but they create completely different moods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether used across an entire room, on cabinetry or in an unexpected place like the ceiling, Grounded shows how an earthy green paint color can bring warmth, personality and a connection to nature into the home. Its mossy olive tone and brown undertones make it easy to layer with natural materials, collected pieces and a range of complementary paint colors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more paint color inspiration, decorating ideas and the latest from BEHR, visit<strong> <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.behr.com\/colorfullybehr\/\">Colorfully BEHR.<\/a><strong> <\/strong>To learn more about Sabrina\u2019s design style, projects and inspiration, visit<a href=\"https:\/\/protect.checkpoint.com\/v2\/r01\/___https:\/sabrinasoto.com\/___.YzJ1Om1ib290aDE6YzpvZmZpY2UzNjVfZW1haWxzX2F0dGFjaG1lbnQ6ZmMwMGZkODg2MTNhYWI4ZTk0OTQ5NmU3YWUxMTNkYzU6NzpjZTY5OjlmYjNjMzgxMGMzM2E4YzM3ZGMzZGVhMzE5MTcyNThiYWQ0NzEyNTQyMzFiOTkzNTYyMWQ0ZGM4ZDM4YWVhNWU6cDpUOkY\"> <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/sabrinasoto.com\/\">SabrinaSoto.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Colorfully yours,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Larayne<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BEHR\u2019s 2027 Color of the Year, Grounded T27-01, is a mossy olive green paint color with earthy brown undertones that feels both fresh and familiar.
