Until very recently, full spectrum paints were available only through a few boutique sources, and most people weren’t familiar with them. That’s about to change with the introduction of Color Stories, a revolutionary collection of 240 full spectrum, one of a kind colors by Benjamin Moore. These vibrant colors are so carefully formulated that they seem to come to life on a wall in a way that traditional paint colors can’t duplicate.
What’s so special about full spectrum colors? Unlike traditional colors which normally are made with only three pigments, black being one of them, full spectrum colors are made with between five and seven pigments, and no black or gray. The result is an exceptional, complex color. You can’t fully see the difference until the paint is on the wall, but the colors are breath-taking.
The Color Stories line is made with proprietary colorants and resins, and formulated with Benjamin Moore’s patented waterborne technologies, which means that you can’t take a sample to your local Home Depot and ask them to duplicate it. It’s available only in Benjamin Moore Aura Interior paints.
Here’s why you should consider full spectrum colors for your next interior painting project:
- More clarity and purity.
- Richer, more vibrant color with more depth and luminosity.
- The color will change more with the light throughout the day.
- The colors reflect a broader range of light and coordinate more easily with the colors around them.
- Because they don’t include black, the colors don’t get muddy or lose their character in low light.
- Naturally Neutral
- Shades of Gray
- Earthen Hues
- Elemental Greens
- Fiery Sunset
- Fluid Blues
- Golden Fields
- Violet Twilight

Paint colors formulated with all the hues of the natural light spectrum, minus the dulling effect of black, will bring new life and energy to the spaces where you and your family spend the most time. I’m excited by this product. Now all I have to do is convince Roger that we need to repaint our entire house. Wish me luck!
