Man Cave Colors


As I was surfing the web this morning I came across the Top 10 Color Palettes for Glidden paint. Now this is a paint brand, I must say, I haven't used in my color consultations so I'm not familiar with what they have.


… and be sure to see my updated post on Choosing Colors For Man Caves!




Man Caves

Basements and garages become havens where men can unwind and have fun


Since I recently wrote a list post, I wanted to check out their list. They had their top 10 color palettes grouped as such: 

Just Baked Kitchen Colors
Growing Up Colors
Share The Harvest Colors
Feels Like Home Colors
and the one that caught my eye was Man Cave Colors.

This got me thinking about the colors that I've chosen for past Man Caves. So I looked through all my files of color consultations and came up with my list of Man Cave colors. Here they are.


This Sherwin Williams color is deep and rich and perfect for  a ceiling color.

Benjamin Moore had some beautiful 
coppery colors that  will  coordinate any media room 
that has brass accent features.

Man Cave have a lot of black accents? 
This rich gold will make it pop!
Another Sherwin Williams color with a cool blue hue.
This Benjamin Moore will be stunning with mahogany furniture!


Now keep in mind that some of these caves had lighter colors as well and these were used as just accent colors. But for the most part, the caves were dark, rich and yes, very manly. They boasted dark furniture and dim lighting and all the electronics and sports paraphernalia you could imagine. There were manly yes, but I liked them too!

  1. We used something similar to the Mayan Gold in our basement/man cave. It came out so rich and warm!
