I discovered Benjamin Moore Soft Chamois from one of my favorite designers, Phoebe Howard. I love how warm it feels, yet still very light, giving the illusion of space in our foyer bath and creating a relaxing retreat in areas like our master bedroom.

When we moved into our home, we had the entire upstairs painted Benjamin Moore Soft Chamois, and have never looked back! In fact, we loved it so much we repainted our foyer bath in it as well and I often contemplate repainting our dining room with it because it’s current color feels a bit too cool with its lighting situation.

This is one of the most versatile paint colors I’ve used to date. It’s a great fit for a lot of spaces and it’s so soft.

During the day it looks light and beautiful, and at night warm, but not yellow or dirty.

  1. Just painted our kitchen this color thanks to this blog post. It is the perfect warm white. I love it so much and I’m contemplating painting the dining room this color.

  3. Hi Julie, I’ve decided to use this color Soft Chamois in my bedroom which is getting painted in 2 days. I’m confused on the finish you used for it, I heard you say Satin in the video but I’ve read you said Egg Shell in a few comments. Benjamin moore has both egg Shell and satin finishes. Which one for my bedroom which doesn’t get a lot of natural light? Help lol

  5. Hi Julie, Did you paint the frame above your daughter’s dresser? I believe the dresser is painted creamy and walls are BM soft chamois, correct? I’d love to duplicate the entire look.
    Also, what color do you recommend for the trim with either BM soft chamois or SW creamy on the walls? Thanks!
