Benjamin Moore Sunroom Paint Colors: Why We Chose Wedgewood Gray
When choosing Benjamin Moore sunroom paint colors, we wanted a shade that added character without overwhelming a light-filled space. Wedgewood Gray became our top choice for the built-ins because it brings a soft blue-green depth that feels timeless, calming, and incredibly well-suited to a sunroom. This color shifts gently throughout the day, working beautifully with changing natural light and our mountain views.
What Color Is Benjamin Moore Wedgewood Gray (HC-146)?
Benjamin Moore Wedgewood Gray, HC-146, is best described as a blue-green gray with subtle depth. It’s not a true gray, and it doesn’t read overly blue, which makes it a reliable choice for sunrooms where light can dramatically affect color. In brighter daylight, it feels fresh and airy, while in softer light it takes on a more grounded, muted tone.
Why Wedgewood Gray Works So Well in a Sunroom
Sunrooms need paint colors that can handle constant light without feeling washed out or heavy. Wedgewood Gray strikes that balance beautifully. Used on the built-ins, it adds structure and contrast while still allowing the room to feel open and bright. The color naturally frames the windows through the surrounding cabinetry, helping draw the eye toward the outdoor scenery rather than competing with it.
A Classic Pairing, Wedgewood Gray and Chantilly Lace
For our sunroom refresh, we paired Wedgewood Gray with Chantilly Lace on the walls and trim. Chantilly Lace is a true white that allows blue-green tones to stand out without overpowering them. Together, these Benjamin Moore sunroom paint colors create a balanced, layered look that feels both fresh and timeless, especially in an open floor plan where continuity matters.
Paint Finish Choice: Why We Used Eggshell with Benjamin Moore Sunroom Paint Colors
We chose an eggshell finish for both colors, which offers a slight sheen that reflects light gently without highlighting imperfections. Eggshell is also easier to clean than a flat finish, making it a practical and popular choice for sunrooms, living rooms, and high-use spaces.

Benjamin Moore Sunroom Paint Colors, Our Sunroom Makeover Process
Once we chose our Benjamin Moore sunroom paint colors, the transformation of this Vermont sunroom truly began. Because the room is filled with divided-pane windows and detailed trim, this was not a simple brush-and-roll project. To achieve a smooth, professional finish, the entire space was spray-painted, which allowed the color to lie evenly and consistently across the built-ins, walls, and trim.
Preparation played a major role in how polished the finished sunroom feels. The ceiling, which had years of visible cracks and imperfections, required extensive patching, sanding, and smoothing before any paint was applied. In a sunroom, where natural light highlights every surface, this prep work made a noticeable difference in the final result.

One of the most interesting parts of the process was how the windows were protected. With so many individual panes, traditional taping would have been time-consuming and imprecise. Instead, a liquid masking product, Masking Liquid H20 was applied directly to the glass, allowing the painter to spray the room efficiently. Once the paint dried, the masking peeled away cleanly, revealing crisp, clean lines around each window.
And a big thanks to Jay, our painter, who took this process video:
This level of care and attention is especially important when working with Benjamin Moore sunroom paint colors. The combination of professional spraying, careful ceiling repairs, and detailed window masking allowed Wedgewood Gray and Chantilly Lace to look smooth, even, and true to color throughout the space.
Why Professional Prep Matters When Painting a Sunroom
One thing this project really drove home is how much preparation goes into a professional paint job. After nearly four full days of prep work in our sunroom, plus adjacent spaces like the bathroom and bedroom, it became clear why painters often say that 80% of the job is surface preparation and only 20% is painting. Repairing cracks, smoothing surfaces, masking windows, and protecting trim all ensure that Benjamin Moore sunroom paint colors go on evenly and look their best once the room is finished.
Benjamin Moore Sunroom Paint Colors, The Finished Sunroom Reveal
With the painting complete, the impact of our Benjamin Moore sunroom paint colors was immediate. Wedgewood Gray on the built-ins adds depth and definition without overpowering the space, while Chantilly Lace on the walls and trim keeps the room feeling light, bright, and open. Natural light moves easily across the surfaces throughout the day, allowing the colors to shift subtly and highlight the surrounding mountain views. The finished sunroom now feels calm, layered, and welcoming, proof that the right paint choices can completely transform how a space looks and feels.

With the room cleared, the Wedgewood Gray built-ins truly shine. The soft blue-green tone adds depth and contrast while still feeling calm and timeless. Against the white walls and floors, the color grounds the space without overpowering it, making it an ideal choice for sunrooms filled with natural light.

Tip: Don’t Forget Cleanup After Spray Painting
Spray painting delivers a beautiful, smooth finish, but it also creates a surprising amount of fine dust. Even with careful masking, windows, floors, and trim will need a thorough cleanup afterward. Be sure to ask your painter if post-project cleaning is included in the estimate. If not, I highly recommend planning for professional cleaning, especially for windows, to save yourself time and frustration.

Thanks so much for sharing Kim! And Happy Birthday!
Your sunroom makeover is just stunning, Ann. Sweet Ella looked adorable in your early post.
Ann, I love your color choices and that view is stunning!!
Thank you so much Kim! Hope you have some snow in the Mitten!
oops! That should say during the colder months we use the dark blue oriental rug.
Hi Ann and Ella!!
Your whole house is stunning! The sunroom is so bright and relaxing. We have a full glass conservatory ( even the roof) so it’s difficult to add shelving etc. but we love the view of our own back yard. Birds are starting to come back to the feeders and we look forward to bright, colorful and plentiful flowers soon. Your views are magical and if I lived there would be in that room 24 hours a day!! During the warmer months we have used a blue background oriental rug. During the summer we don’t have a rug down but that is going to change this year!!! I’m going to start looking NOW!! Love everything that you do!
Thank you so much Kathy! Wow, your conservatory sounds amazing. Rug or no rug I bet it’s absolutely amazing!
Ann
It looks amazing. And that view is to die for. Great post.
Thanks so much Rachel!
Ann, I love the Wedgewood Grey ! It’s a happy, calming color. I too love a slipcover sofa. Your room looks fantastic. Can’t wait to see the entire room furnished.
With Ella front & center.
Thanks so much Michelle, I just started the decorating today!
hi ann oh my gosh….. the “new” sunroom is fabulous!!!!!! i have read about benjamin moore’s chantilly lace so many times; it is as beautiful as people claim it to be! and your pine floors are a wonderful touch to the room…. you really got my attention when you mentioned a vintage rug possibility with pink in it…. i don’t know what’s happened to me as i’ve “matured”…. colors that i would never entertain before in a living room, etc. are suddenly on my hit parade!!!! i actually have 2 rooms with light mustardy gold walls, am debating getting a sage green velvet couch, and am loving very light pink decor items as in pillows, etc….. my husband is pretty non-committed about my current color loves, as well as some friends…. i just carry on!!!! good luck with your vintage rug (have you ever thought about a turkish one??) can’t wait to see you style your shelves…. i catch all of your vintage shopping excursions….. enjoy the whole process….. and keep being enthralled with God’s masterpieces in the distance!!!!!! all the best, lynne r.
Thank you so much Lynne, I feel the same way. My tastes are definitely changing, which I always enjoy. Thanks so much for your sweet note!
What a gorgeous paint color and great idea to paint the shelves! I even love the creamy color at the windows. It really makes the outside stand out. Dare I say – it makes you gasp as you admire the view?! And I love the wallpaper going up in the other room. Back in the 80’s my room had the exact fabric. The comforter and shams and the bench seat and curtains. I was crazy for it. I think it was Laura Ashley but that was decades ago so who can remember? Looking forward to seeing all the decor and finished room. LOVE IT!
Yes Laura Ashley! I was just talking about that the other day. I loved the dresses too, we all wore them to weddings back in the day:)
What a beautiful room !!! I love you paint choices! The book shelfs are wonderful . The view inside and out is gorgeous I can see why this is your favorite room ! I’m sure it’s Ella’s too! ❤️
Thanks so much Robin, I love how the bookshelves turned out too. It may be a bit warm for Ella in this sunroom, haha.
Hi Ann! Love the new paint job! The white is so fresh and the Wedgewood Gray is such a pretty color! Slipcovers for the win! Always! Good luck finding a rug! Look forward to seeing what you choose!
Thanks so much Molly!
Ann, the sunroom looks so crisp and clean, and the view is amazing. I can’t wait to see the vintage finds you will be adding. Have a great weekend.
Thank you so much Miche, I’m going to be very busy, haha!
That Wedgewood paint color is wonderful, especially with the white. And perfect with the wallpaper. The bookcases will be so much fun to style with a new color.
Thank you so much Pamela, yes I have so much to do now, haha!
Ann, whiile not a blue person, I love your interior. Also ditto on the gray thing and glad that color is coming back! So much cheerier and fun! Gray was always so hospital and surgical to me. Go ahead and find your vintage rug that you love and then place it on top of a bigger rug that fits the space. It works like a charm and adds so much character to the room. I have a vintage oriental rug that was killer but too small. I took its dimensions and added several feet around the edges and then found a “base” rug to place underneath in that size. My larger rug that hosts the vintage rug is a black/tan animal print. It brings out the reds, blues and golds in the antique oriental rug beautifully (and the gold swivel chairs) seated on both. Get lots of compliments. Plus the larger rug can be found and can be totally budget friendly after the investment in your showpiece topper, right? Thanks for all your inspiration.
Thank you so much Penny, I love the idea of the layered rugs thank you for that idea! As all the rugs I’m looking at are just not fitting the space properly. Have a nice weekend!
Such a perfect room to enjoy that stunning view! Lovely!
Shelley
Thank you Shelley, I’m so glad you liked it!
Ann, the room is absolutely gorgeous! I would want to spend all my time there! You did a beautiful job!💙
Thank you so much Jeannie, that means so much to me!
Ah! Ella as a baby. So sweet. I always enjoy seeing her in your photos. Love the new colors. We painted our exterior,, a couple of years ago, a pretty blue green to go with our new roof which is gray with blue green in it. I am really happy to see all the gray interiors go away, I don’t know why it was so popular for a few years. It always seems dreary to me. The blue greens look very nice here in Colorado where there are many pine and spruce trees. I love your views, we also have nice mountain views with many large windows.
Thanks Jill, I’m glad to see the grays go too:) I’ve really been craving lots of color recently. Enjoy your views and thanks so much for your sweet note.
Ann, The sunroom makeover is stunning!! We are looking at Wedgwood gray for a trim color in our home. We plan to bring a sample in next week and move it around the house. I am hoping for the changing color you described. We live in a very small house with a lot of southern exposure and love to bring the outside in. We also love a good slipcover couch! We will be painting ourselves so no quick reveals and less mess. Have you done a tutorial on how you store you antique dishes? We broke a piece this year and we’re heartbroken💔
Thank you so much Kathy! The Wedgewood Gray is definitely a different color for me, but I love it so much. When the sun is beaming in, it’s stunning! The Chantilly Lace really makes it pop too. Good luck with your painting project. I store my dishes in these dish storage bags, they work really well. Here’s my affiliate link: https://bit.ly/3xyGwsp
