“Discover the 12 Daring Paint Colors You’ll Wish You Never Tried—Is Your Home on the List?”
1. Eggplant Purple
Eggplant sounds like a bold, elegant choice, but when it’s up on your walls, it can make everything feel a little too dramatic. Instead of chic, your space can end up looking like the set of a moody detective show—where’s the light switch?
While purple can be a fun accent, an entire room bathed in eggplant can feel a tad overwhelming. It’s the paint equivalent of wearing a full velvet suit—fabulous in theory but hard to pull off in everyday life.
2. Neon Green
Neon green might have seemed like a great idea during that one flash of inspiration at 2 a.m., but in the daylight, it’s a bit… loud. Rather than feeling fun and energizing, it gives off an unsettling, fluorescent glow and fluorescent colors are hard to maintain.
Unless you want your home to feel like a rave (complete with glow sticks), this is one to handle with caution. And if you ever decide to sell your house, this is certainly not a color that will appeal to most buyers.
3. Beige
Beige, the safety net of paint colors, can sometimes be a little too safe. It’s like that one friend who’s always polite but never quite adds to the conversation. After a while, beige can start to feel a bit… beige.
It won’t offend anyone, but it won’t spark joy either. An all-beige room leaves you stuck in an endless cycle of neutral. Life’s too short for walls that feel this noncommittal– add a complimentary color to jazz the beige up.
