Most Romantic Bedroom Colors
From the soft blush of pink to the rich depth of burgundy, color has the power to set the mood, as well as create an atmosphere of love and connection. Colors in the red family are most known for evoking that romantic feeling of passion. While I personally love this hue, it might not be your favorite! Just know that romantic bedroom paint colors can go beyond the conventional ideas of red.
Warm colors like olive green radiate coziness and warmth. At the same time, cool colors such as lavender or blue infuse the space with tranquility and serenity. Neutral hues like champagne and taupe offer a timeless elegance. Meanwhile, moody tones like deep blues and charcoal grey add drama and allure.
No matter what color family brings you joy, selecting romantic bedroom paint colors enables you to design a space crafted for romance and relaxation.

Benjamin Moore Barberry is undeniably a romantic color choice for the bedroom, bringing a sense of warmth, intimacy, and sophistication. Used beautifully by Peonyandhoney in her guest bedroom, you can see how this hue envelops the space—creating a calming effect and inviting you to unwind.
This color creates the perfect romantic ambiance. If you need styling ideas for this paint color, try a plush rug, velvet drapes, and soft lighting. This is guaranteed to transform your beautiful bedroom into a romantic getaway.
Benjamin Moore Van Courtland Blue
Something old, something new, something borrowed, something… you know the rest 😉 Blue might not be the first color to come to mind when thinking of romantic bedroom paint colors, but blue actually represents fidelity and loyalty… what’s more sexy than that?!
Benjamin Moore’s Van Courtland Blue is both calming and sophisticated. This shade will add a touch of timeless elegance to any modern space.

Behr Pencil Sketch
Behr’s Pencil Sketch is an excellent choice if you’re looking for a romantic bedroom paint color that’s more on the neutral side. It’s a sophisticated and versatile shade that creates a cozy and inviting atmosphere. Inspired by the timeless appeal of graphite, this warm gray shade brings a sense of refinement and depth to interiors.
This subtle, yet striking shade will add character and style to your home, especially if you pair it with bold decorative elements like Little Joy Market did in her bedroom! This color is the perfect backdrop for the red velvet bench, which becomes the focal point in this bedroom. If you’re going for a romantic aesthetic, but you’re not ready to commit to bold colors yet, this is a great alternative.
Benjamin Moore Mountain Moss
Green isn’t usually a color that comes to mind when you’re thinking of romance, however, it’s all about how you use it. The way by_anitarussell used this color on her walls and ceilings, in combination with all the textures, the feminine scallop details, and the pop of red in the bedding… it’s giving moody romantic cottage vibes and I’m so here for it!
Benjamin Moore Mountain Moss is a bold, earthy hue that brings the beauty of nature indoors. This deep green color will bring a sense of serenity and joy into your bedroom space.

Okay, okay I know this isn’t a bedroom, but I just adore how Anna at plushperch used this color within her home, especially paired with the moody ceiling wallpaper, velvet textures, and the abundance of natural light. I could totally see this color in a romantic bedroom setting!
