12 years ago

Goldtone 176 and Goldtone OC-112

Ambiance 309 and Antiquity OC-107 (Someone said they are the same color)

I often hear Dove White and White Dove--- same thing?

Benjamin Moore does not have a dove white, but other manufacturers do. Both goldtones are the same. I'm not sure about ambiance and antiquity, but they appear to be the same thing.

Looks like someone's getting closer, to choosing their paint colors! Hope you post pics, when you do :)

I am confused by chijim's comments because all of the pictures that are on the walls now are black and whites and are framed in black. I think that does tie them together. I am not focused on anything on any flat surface at the moment. That is a bunch of stuff from different rooms, or is cat food to be honest, because that is where the sick cats eat. At my DR table. I never actually eat there. :) I have just been working on the wall color, drapes, and wall picture layout. At least that is what my focus was meant to be with this thread, and trying to see if the rug I have will work with it all. I feel like it is coming together in my head. We shall see what the end result is. ;) No worries Punamytsike. I don't mind the comments. It helps to hear other opinions. I can't wait to see what you do with your new spaces which will be so different from your last house. I know it will be fabulous. I think it is interesting that Chijim mentions crown molding. I have to say I was really against it, but DH voted for it, and my parents brought it up yesterday too, so I guess that is a battle I am going to lose. I just think it will bother me to have painted molding when all the other trim in the house is stained. Of course my dad said I should just paint all the trim, but the stained trim has grown on me and I don't really want to do that. If I had my way I would probably do some kind of stained funky trim, but I am sure that would not get many votes either. I think I have convinced DH to do this room next, and he just finished tiling my bathroom, so hopefully we shall see some progress soon. I will keep posting updates in case anyone is interested. It helps me to type out my thoughts too. I know orange/blue is not everyone's cup of tea, and I guess I have a quirky style.

Are Benjamin Moore Athena 858 and Pale Oak OC-20 the same thing?
Q

Lori, Did you really refer me to a Facebook post that you wrote to defend your position? Wow - that was convincing. I am equally convinced that your $59 tool was built to exacting standards that exceed those standards that SW used to extract RGB values of their paint colors or the tools employed by encycolorpedia or EASY RGB. Everyone is doing things wrong if they are not doing it your way. CNet painted 18 samples, using real paint samples and Color Muse selected the right color 5 out of 18 times, but they are a hot mess. John the Math Guy is an expert in color science and applied mathematics. He's just consulting with large corporations to ensure their brand color is correctly printed. He isn't measuring paint color on walls, so everything he said is invalid. RGB is absolutely useless - it is machine dependent and not based on human perception of color. I'm not sure what they used in 1860 to create the color model, but I must belive that it couldn't have been human perception of color. You know they had to be primitive - they only used 3 colors of light to create the color model, unlike the cones in the human eye or the "Tri" stimulus values used by color muse. "The RGB color model itself does not define what is meant by red, green and blue colorimetrically, and so the results of mixing them are not specified as absolute, but relative to the primary colors. When the exact chromaticities of the red, green, and blue primaries are defined, the color model then becomes an absolute color space, such as sRGB or Adobe RGB". But just because I can exactly replicate a color using an RGB color space, if my tools are accurately calibrated, I should not use those values because they are machine dependent. I should just use my handy color muse, display the color on my cell phone app or computer and not be dependent on the accuracy of some machine to be certain that my evaluation of color is dead on. I will try to remember not to challenge your knowledge in the future, as you are the one and only true color expert.

Benjamin Moore Cloud White close match to Kelly Moore Pickett Fence 46
Q
Comments (13)
Patricia - I'm not looking to match an existing color in the room, rather want a Benjamin Moore paint COLOR but for Cabinet Coat (Pro. painter said to pick a color from Kelly Moore). Lori - Thank you for the detailed info. We are getting our (South Faced) kitchen cabinet painted. We have Cloud White (OC -130) on the walls, and looking for a white/off white color for the cabinets. Something that is not to stark, too yellow, or too pink! Some of the folks had suggested we match cabinets to the shutter colors (two windows in kitchen), however we prefer not to as it is an older K.M. paint color (Western Acoustic) which has a lot of yellow in it. We did swatches, and the best colors are Simply White /OC-117 and Could White/OC-130, with Simply White being the nicer of the two choices. However, since due to the base of each different paint manufacturer, paint matching can be a hit or miss, the Sales Reps (with over 20 years of experience. at K.M.) said that Pickett Fence was a close match to S.W. Main- Thank you for that info. It's extremely helpful. Will pass on the info. to our paint guy.

Benjamin Moore’s version of accessible beige?
Q
Comments (10)
A few things: if you went to any paint store that sold Benjamin Moore and you asked them to make you something similar to Accessible Beige, they could -- A few similar colors that come up in Ben Moore's color system for accessible beige are: 1. Inner Balance (1522) 2. Stingray (1529) 3. Smokey Taupe (983) 4. Ice Formations (973) 5. Litchfield Gray (HC-173) You can try those colors first, but they vary just a little in terms of their undertones. Benjamin Moore's paints are usually recommended by contractors because of their smooth application, their dry times, and the amount of coating you need versus something from Home Depot (takes 3-4 coats and is thinner). Revere Pewter is nice, definitely on the warm side and a VERY popular home color.

I narrowed it down to 5 but now I'm back to 8 or 9 different ones taped to my present cabs : ) I ordered the large samples for free from BM. They really make it so much easier than those tiny swatches! When I"m down to a few I'll get some paint samples.

Several BM colors have multiple numbers. Vanilla Ice Cream is another example. If they have the same name, they are the same color.

I am not sure about the other one you listed with different names. I would guess they are different, but don't know the colors.

I found this article from April 2011 - Ten Easy Whites - Architect's picks (I am sure everyone has seen this so sorry if it has already been posted). There is a BM Dove White listed but I could not find a sample. I am waiting on my builder to get me all of the BM color decks - s/b Monday.

I did find a Dove White from Glidden.

I can only speak to the BM whites...White Dove is OC-17 They do NOT have a Dove White. But, to confuse you more, they DO have a Dove Wing which is OC-18.

From my experience, some manufacturers (like BM) use the name White Dove. Others use Dove White. And in my experience, they are not the same color.

I have the BM color book in front of me now but am looking at the one called "Color Preview" and I was in the store yesterday and they do carry 2 other books.

I called BM and Antiquity and Ambiance are the same color.

2LittleFishies - Hmmm, didn't a little birdie tell you that Antiquity and Ambiance were the same color? Lol! ;) One of the paint gurus one this forum was the person who enlightened me. I don't blame you for double checking though, I probably would have done the same thing! :)

(I wish BM didn't do that, though. It makes it terribly confusing!)

Best wishes picking the right beautiful buttery yellow for your kitchen! :)

bellajourney- Yes! Thanks! I just wanted to make sure b/c it seems ridiculous that they would do that and not use the same name? : )

I am thrilled you were right b/c otherwise I'd be staring at the two all day! lol
