Anyone use Benjamin Moore Urban Nature?

Now that my living room is painted, I'd like to focus attention on our small den (which we use as a tv room) on the back of the house next. A couple of years ago I painted it a SW shade called "Tigereye", shown here:
- and while I thought I liked it at first, over time it started to feel too close in color to the one (vintage) knotty pine paneled wall in the room, as well as the color of the wood floor. I'm wanting to go green in the den now too. There are large windows on two walls that let in a good deal of natural light and look out into the yard where it's very green. We have a lot of big old trees that are full and leafy in the spring and summer months, and I'd really like to bring some of that feel into this little den. Has anyone used the BM color "Urban Nature", and if so, can you share pics? Any thoughts as to how this color would work in a room that gets a good deal of natural light? I don't want the room to have a cold feel at all, but want it to be relaxing and cozy. I'm sorry I don't have a photo to post of the room right now. It's very small, containing two comfy chairs and wall-to-wall artwork, mostly paintings of Native American themes.

Has anyone used Benjamin Moore’s Mayonnaise?
Comments (6)I have used Mayonnaise in my whole house and am now using it in our second home. To me it is like sunshine pouring in the room all day long. I love it. It is not yellow but when compared to some of the cold gray whites that have been popular, it may seem to be. It looks great with the same color as trim or with a more pure white....See MoreHas anyone used Benjamin Moore Constellation for kitchen wall colo?
Comments (1)Constellation. I I have used Constellation, but in a waterfront home facing east. It is a beautiful color, but wondering if it is too pale for the kitchen. It can get lost among all the greige. With such defined colors as Revere Pewter and Solitude, would you consider a darker tone with the same undertone as Solitude? B.M.

Comments (1)Hi Laura, This might be way to late but we recently painted our home in Pale Oak. I'm still on the fence about it. It's definitely a warm grey that leans towards beige in some lights and can also look very cool in others. It is definitely a chameleon. Trying to figure out ways to add some colour to my space now too since it is very light. What colour did you decide on?...See MoreAnyone use benjamin moore castle peak gray on their kitchen cabinets?
Comments (9)IMO that color is much too dark for a north facing kitchen. It's also a greenish, brownish color, not so much gray, which I'm sorry to say a lot of people would refer to as baby poop color. I have a north facing kitchen which has dark cabinets from the previous owners. I guess they didn't like the original white, but when I remodel in a couple years I will definitely be going back to white. Even if you don't like white, there are plenty of lighter colors you can be looking at. If you like green, look at lighter, more true greens. Even if this isn't your style, this is the color I and probably the previous poster are referring to: Colors get washed out in northern light. Since this is a new build, if you can't look at color swatches in the actual light, try to find another north facing room in your current house or a friend's house in which to view samples. This is a big commitment, so think about this choice carefully. After you pick a color, see if they can get you a sample door before they do the whole kitchen....See More
