Shades of Grey

8 years ago

Hi - I'm looking for some paint inspiration. I'm getting the interior of my home repainted. I have an open floor plan on the first floor, aside from a large den and home office. The home office was painted Chelsea Grey by Benjamin Moore and I love it! I'm going off that color for my "color story"....but I need help! I'm thinking Revere Pewter for the main living area. Any other suggestions? I also need paint options for my master bedroom, master bathroom, and den. What are a few shades of grey that all work nicely together? Everything in my house is pretty neutral, and we are doing a big overhaul....so I'm working with a pretty blank slate. I have oak hardwood floors, which we're refinishing.

I love grey and have painted nearly all of my rooms different greys. My advice is to keep the same undertone. You've probably noticed that some have a blue, or green or yellow or even red tint to them. They don't have to be but it will make your choices much easier since you'll know they'll all flow well together. One less thing to consider when pouring over the hundreds of grey options.

Good Luck!

BM Distant Gray can be used as your off-white. It is a cool gray. Still, I think it will work. Here is an image I made on the BM website.

One refinement on the all white solution: get three distinct whites for walls, ceiling, and trim. While you are considering marine-gloss magenta for the dining room, you will feel less as though you are a prisoner in a stark white box. Benjamin Moore has some lovely, non-stark whites and off whites in their classic whites group. Their historical collection is particularly soothing, including: Concord Ivory Monterey White greys Edgecomb Gray Wickham Gray (very pale) Stonington Gray (a little darker) Revere Pewter (warm) Coventry Gray (neutral) pale yellows Windham Cream Hepplewhite Ivory and plenty of interesting beiges.

Since you have white and black windows, fans, doors, gates, you need a light tan beige rather than an off white cream - off white will just look dirty next to the white. Something that goes warm neutral instead of yellow will work well. Tropical can mean lots of different things to different people - pick one accent color - a lagoon type green-blue-green with large leafy palms, and add a sail shade (triangle shaped) in the same tone to the upper deck.
