You might remember, I removed the paint from our buffet and then repainted it two-tone colors. It’s still one of my favorite pieces around the house. Since then, I’ve received numerous questions about Fusion Mineral Paint, how easy it really is to use, and which color is best for a particular project.
Today, I’m sharing a fun little project that hopefully helps answer the “Which color is best?” questions.
Fusion Mineral Paint Colors
I’ve shared my thoughts on Fusion Mineral Paint, but I’ve never really talked about the very different, but all beautiful, neutrals they have to offer!
And this is why it’s so important— in of the container, all the paints look very similar. It’s not until they dry, do you really see the difference. And it was really important to me that I answer this as best as possible since you can’t quickly drive over to a local big box store and buy Fusion Mineral Paint.
FMP is only available at some specialty paint stores or on Amazon. [I always order Amazin since we don’t have a close local shop]
Each color has its own gorgeous tone of course.

Choosing the right paint color can be really tricky. And no one enjoys spending extra money trying out colors that they might not love. To help you out, I happily opened up 11 different Fusion Mineral Paint colors and painted them on a solid pine board for you!
Why did I choose solid pine board for testing?
Quite frankly– it’s a solid choice for most wood DIY projects. It’s super easy to find just about anywhere, very affordable, and comes in widths from 1″ to 12.” It’s the go-to wood for most home DIY-ers.
And I wanted you to see exactly how the Fusion Mineral Paint colors dried against the pine.
Hopefully, this saves you lots of time and money!

I took the 11 jars and swabbed them on the same board so that you could quickly compare them against one another. I admit, they all looked super similar in the jar! I wasn’t expecting such a difference for just neutrals.
Wondering about coverage? Each of these colors was painted on with one coat! This gives you an idea of what to expect for your next Fusion Mineral Paint project. I wanted you to see that you don’t need two coats. [Forgive me for not so smooth coats, I was super technical and applied it all with q-tips.] #badBlogger
All the colors dried a nice even flat color without any shine. Perfect!
But don’t worry, I’m not leaving you hanging, I wrote them all down for you!
Raw Silk is definitely the whitest color and is pretty cool. Champlain, next to it, is also white but is warmer. I was really surprised to see how dark the Sterling & Pebble came out to be.
After seeing Cathedral Taupe, Bedford, and Algonquin, I’m itching to find a project to use them! They are all super warm colors that ooze cozy. Stay tuned while I think of something to share with you. 🙂
Choosing a paint color can be tricky and you shouldn’t need to have to buy several different paints to find just the right color for your next project! I hope this side by side comparison of 11 of the neutral Fusion Mineral Paint colors was helpful! I can’t wait to hear about your next project!

PIN FOR LATER:
I love that you created this demo! Raw Silk looks white here compared to the others but our whitest whites are Picket Fence and Casement. And Fusion has just come out with another white called Goddess Ashwagandha. It’s a white with gray undertones. So that might be three more to add to your board! Keep up the Fusion love!
Thanks Cyndi!
Trying to figure out what to paint my French provincial furniture
I was going to do blue. A lighter blue but wondering if I’ll be limited and get bored. I’m back-and-forth as to going and off-white with an espresso wax in all the grooves
Definitely going to stain The top in a Wood color
Such a hard choice, Lisa! I think light blue would be absolutely lovely! Being blue, it would likely be your focal point of the room. You could always dress up an off-white piece with different seasonal decor. I think I’d choose the blue if you have lots of neutral decor or its a bedroom. But really– they both sound like great choices to have! Thanks for stopping by. –Brittany
What color would be cream color? My son and daughter in-law want me to paint a dresser, but they don’t want it white. Any suggestions?? Thank you!
Hi Shelly! What color are their walls? You could do Plaster and if you need to darken it, you could top it with a Homestead Wax in Espresso. The Cathedral Taupe color is SO PRETTY but may look best against lighter walls. -Brittany
Our bathroom walk are pale green and second bath is a pewter color. Want to paint cabinets. Like vintage feel. Something neutral.
I want to repaint the kitchen cabinets at my camp. A color in the tone of beige. My walls are cedar wood. I wonder what color I could choose?
Hi Josee! Do you have a Fusion Paint retailer near you? You’ll want to treat the Cedar Wood color as your primary color and have the cabinets as a secondary, support color. You don’t want them competing for focus. For that reason, I would try 2-3 shades from a sample to see which look best against the cedar wood. My first guess is Champlain as a color, but again, it would be what looks best supporting the Cedar tones. 🙂 -Brittany
