Anyone used Benjamin Moore's "Athena" paint?

10 years ago

My decorator is suggesting this color, but I am worried I see some pink in it. I really want a light warm gray. Has anyone used this color and have an opinion?! Thanks!

Well I may have to give it a try. Thanks to everyone for sharing their input. I have had such a challenge with grey paint for this room! My son wants a black white and grey theme. The silver satin I painted on the walls reads too pale and sometimes pink! He is so tired of me and my paint sample that he actually says the paint color is fine, he will live with it. Poor guy just wants his room back. When I sample it I will share results. Thanks again to everyone❤️💜💚💙

Thanks! I really need to be more careful pulling photos directly from Google Images, as they aren't always really what they're identified as! I'm really loving Urban Green, especially in the PB catalog shot. I think it's the one for my den. (DH is trying to convince me to go to the paint store today. I told him I need at least a weekend breather from painting. Sheesh. ;-))

I have a beautiful old apartment in Sacramento. It has hardwood floors and some dark accents like a brown brick fireplace. We used Athena in this apartment and it is absolutely gorgeous. It is not pink. The light is from the South and the color is perfect. I grew to absolutely love this color. My younger tenants who are in their 30's love it and they usually buy a grey sofa for the room.

I see pink/mauve in it too! Maybe because I'm looking at it in a north-facing room. Is a beautiful color though.
