Does a gray-green-beige neutral go with... a warm, muted gold?
Comments (6)I don't have pics to share of the bedroom yet but imagine EK Pumice (which is actually a light grey-green-tan, pretty exactly) with golden strandwoven bamboo flooring. And walnut cabinetry, and similarly-toned brown fabric headboard. Nickel and frosted glass light fixtures. The drapes and the bed fabrics, in shades of gold and very light grey-green (I also have some bluish-grey sheets that look *so great* against the green-grey duvet and brown headboard...you wouldn't expect it, but they all kind of glow when they're next to each other) make it all work together.

Comments (23)peachy? no, not here. i have it up, lit by a 40 watt wall sconce. i went out and had a sample mixed just yesterday and painted it on a 5x8 wall. i even put up the art that i have planned for the space. it looks perfect. color is relative to it's surroundings so if you put other colors next to it you'll actually comprehend the tones a bit differently. i love annapolis because of it's absence of a lot of yellow or red so it doesn't seem TOO beige, really. it reads quite gray/stone next to the other sample i bought: pismo dunes. now THAT is beige. really beige; like camel. dark with a lot of yellow and red. no gray at all. annapolis in comparison is more like stone, i'd say a creamy, gray stone. sorry, did i just say the same thing five times?! color is a personal thing though. it may not be for everyone but it's my new love! p.s.: i also picked up a sample of quiet moments in my travels which is a very pale, gray-blue. i think i'll use that in the guest bath. gorgeous color!...See Morebest white for cabinets, gray for island and greige for walls
Comments (4)Do not choose a wall color before all the rest of the colors are in like the cabinet color for instance.I for sure do not think stark white with those cabinets and counter Maybe Eider white for the cabinets but I can’t see gray as a choice in this kitchen with that counter . BTW a SW paint can be matched to any brand so maybe look at BM for better color choices....See MoreBest warm neutral Benjamin Moore color for tiny townhouse?
Comments (4)Thanks Judy. The front door is on the North side and I'm thinking of maximising it with glass (to increase the light and the light also comes through large French doors on the South side. It's in Toronto which is often grey and cold :(. Any ideas to warm it up and maximise the light gratefully received. I can't put skylights in because there are 4 floors....See Moredms11
