I’m beginning to redo my grandma’s apartment and starting with a fresh coat of paint. Who makes the best paints and what are some great colours?

Looking for neutrals for the main common areas and warm tones for the bedrooms.

Farrow & Ball

Farrow & Ball: Farrow & Ball makes the best paint imo but it’s frightfully expensive (for good reason). This image is Farrow Cream No. 67. I’ve never been disappointed with anything Benjamin Moore (matte finish) if I need to cover a big surface. Then I’ll sometimes splurge on a 1/4 gallon of Farrow & Ball for a small powder room. I learned about Portola Paints on Rec League, they special in clay finish and lime wash— worth checking out if you like the look of it!
