Best Paint Colours For Introverts

6 Paint Colours That Are Perfect For Introverts, Straight From an Expert

Choosing a colour palette for your living space can be super stressful. Since colours can definitely affect your mood, different personalities are likely to embrace different colour palettes, and with so many options, it's easy to feel overwhelmed. But if you're an introvert, there are a few colours in particular that suit you best. "Introverts tend to gravitate toward softer colours and neutrals, as they create a relaxing meditative effect," Meghan Stewart, a Paintzen Certified Colour Consultant, explained to POPSUGAR. "When used within the home, these paint colours will provide a calming atmosphere perfect for introverts who enjoy the comfort of a laid-back and soothing space that does not overstimulate the mind."

So, what does that mean in practical terms? Stick with cool tones and softer colours. "Shades of blue are often favourites among introverts because of the visual similarity to lakes, oceans, and the serenity of nature, which inflicts a feeling of tranquility for people of this personality type," she said. "These shades allow them to express themselves calmly and comfortably. For introverted people, I would recommend a subtle, cooler colour palette. Introverts can become easily irritated and stressed in a space with highly saturated or bold colours."

If you're an introvert looking for the perfect colours to set the tone for your space, look no further! We've got six gorgeous ones that will suit your personality perfectly, as recommended by an expert.

1. Moonlit Snow

Stark white can be a little bit much on large swaths of wall space. That's why Stewart recommends a pale, greyish-blue tint, which is much more soothing: "While on the lighter side, the colour will invoke a relaxing and satisfying feeling for those who desire a spa-like space."

2. Colonial Aqua

Muted and light, this blue-green hue is both refreshing and calming, perfect for an introvert's space. "[It] will give a space a fresh, beachy vibe, making anybody comfortable and relaxed - the ideal state for an introvert," Stewart explained.

3. Night Watch

No, not the guys from Game of Thrones! This colour is a dark, cool green that's cosy and calming. "[It's] the perfect hue for an accent wall," Stewart said. "Adding just the right amount of calming darkness to a room, the colour will make introverts feel right at home, comforted by the healing nature of the colour green."
