hey there msrose, I dont' have that color. But if I may suggest something that might seem odd....look at BM Nimbus. The paint chip will be quite deceiving. I painted my master bath this color because it was on the same paint chip as other colors in the house, and no matter what I do, I seem to come back to that chip. Anyhow...it was all part of the "dh surprise mbr makeover". He saw the color in the bathroom, and actually commented, that he liked this color. It looks like a silver/blue/gray. Very delicate, very pretty. It does not give any green undertones, it is more of a taupe/brown based color. Check it out. I've also heard that Gray Wisp is another light gray/blue.

the picture posted above really looks blue to me. Maybe you do want more of a blue than I'm thinking.

Good Luck, let us see what you find!

In my experience, Gray Wisp definitely has a green undertone. In fact the green can sometimes outweigh the blue. Glass Slipper looks great in that picture, but I think it can come out looking too baby blue. I've heard that somewhere before.

Constellation from BM's Affinity colors (colors made specifically for their Aura paints) is a really pretty greyed-blue. We used it in our Master Bath and plan to use it, or a 50% version in our Master Bedroom as well.

Restoration Hardware Pumice is a very pretty gray-blue. I don't see any green in the sample I painted on canvas, even moving it from room-to-room.

Martha Stewart cumulus cloud (HD) is a nice grey blue. Looks like nothing on the chip, but it's really pretty IRL.

prill, I've got the camera out, I'll go try, but the sun is on the other side of the house, so ......let's see how this works.

geez, I look at it with my eye, I see blue-silver, in the photos, it looks gray.

well here you go anyway...I'll try when the sun is in there in the am

Thanks Bee- it does look grey in that pic, but light surely does change things.

MRose - here's the link with Cumulus Cloud.

Bee - It does look gray in the picture except for above the shower and I can see blue there. I thought I had just about every BM blue sample, but I just looked through them and don't have Nimbus. I think I'll get one and see how it looks next to glass slipper.

Cat-mom - I'll pick up a sample of Constellation while I'm at it!

binsd - I think RH Pumice is what Pipdog used, isn't it? I love that color, but don't have a RH around. I've been thinking about ordering a sample and then trying to figure out which BM color is close to it.

Prill - Guess I'll be making a trip to Home Depot tomorrow too!

I was originally planning to go with Behr Light French Gray and even though it's not dark, I'm afraid it's darker than what I'm wanting. It doesn't look dark here, but the sample looks darker than Glass Slipper.

Here's another picture I found of it which looks more blue and less gray. I like how it looks in the bathroom picture better.

Others that I'm looking at right now are:

Gray Cloud
Bunny Gray
Sweet Innocence
Gentle Gray

I painted a built in book shelf that I converted to a mini mud room coat rack area BM "White Satin", and I believe it's from the same chip as Glass Slipper, just a paler version. Here is a pic:

polly - What do you see when you look at White Satin..Blue, Gray, Green, or all of the above :)

Allen + Roth Rain Puddle (sold at Lowes) is actually a very nice, modern blue grey. It even has a HINT of blue-green in it, in the right light. It's one of those modern, sort of muddied/putty shades on the chip - but ends up looking distinctly blue on my walls. Light, but definitely not pastel. I wasn't wanting a blue, but if you are, it's a nice color.

msrose - yes! That's the color from pipdog's living room. I think it's lovely but just reads just a bit too blue in our rooms. Let me know if you want me to mail it to you. I won't be using it and still have it around here somewhere - I received it just a couple of weeks ago & there's at least 98% of it still in the jar.

Do you read any gray in your Glass Slipper sample? I'm going back next week to get a sample can but am trying to narrow down what it is I really want. I could open up a samples store with all the little cans & jars I have around here!

When we staged our house, we did BM Beluga, and it looked just like the first picture. Gorgeous, subtle blue with elements of gray. The paint chip is pretty horrible, and the first few strokes of paint look scary, but it's a great paint color.

Blue/Gray- No Green. I also have this color on the ceiling in DS's nursery, and the walls are green-BM Pale Sea Mist, I still see no green in it at all. I will post a pic of DS's room as soon as I can take a pic. Probably will not be until Monday though, weekend is jam packed!

For blue/grey I've read wonderful things about SW Comfort Grey. I also saw in a model home, SW Samovar Silver- everyone kept going back to that room for the color. More blue/silver than blue/grey, but wonderful.

Steph2000 - Is Allen + Roth the paint brand? I haven't heard of that one, but I'll check it out.

binsd - I would love to get your sample! I'll send you an email. These paint samples are drying me crazy. On one side of the room, I do think I see gray in Glass Slipper, but then on the other side I don't. I've been trying to decide on a color for about 5 mths now and I keep getting overwhelmed.

xantippe - Sounds perfect. Do you have a picture by chance?

debbie - I forgot about Samavor Silver. That's what waltbsc used in his house and I love it.

Does Cashmere Gray have any blue in it? I've always loved it in Brutuses house, but it looks really green sitting here next to all these other samples.

binsd - I didn't have the option to email you when I clicked on your name. Can you email me?

xantippe - Was it by chance Behr Beluga instead of BM Beluga? I can't find Beluga on the BM website, but when I googled it, it shows Behr has that color.

mrose, I have a rh pumice sample too you could have. It's very grey in my house and I was looking for blue grey for my living room.

msrose - I sent you an email.

MsRose - allen + roth has a separate display at Lowes, but made in Valspar. I'm confused as to whether it is a paint brand - or a line in Valspar.

I found a link for you from Lowes, but the little sliver shown of Rain Pebble looks like how I -wanted- it to look on my computer (grayed out green-blue), but not how it looks on the wall (grayed out blue). In my room, it absolutely reads like a slightly muddied, grayed out blue. It's very nice - just not what I wanted in my dining room. Would be great if my mistake helped someone get what they actually want in the room they want it - lol.

Steph - Is it Rain Pebble or Rain Puddle?

I have RH Pumice in my house and it reads blue grey.

Meep, sorry. Rain Puddle, as shown on the link.

msrose, now I can't find Beluga on the web. If I can find our paint cans (we just moved in!), I will look for the can to see what brand it was. We didn't take a picture, unfortunately. It was in a tiny bathroom, which seemed to gain in size the moment it was painted.

prill - Thank you so much for the offer! Binsd is going to send me hers.

binsd - Have you (or anyone else) tried BM Arctic Gray? I found some pictures online and it looks pretty.

msrose-I just painted my master bedroom. I started with 6 samples on the wall ( 2*2 sections), then narrowed it down to 2 colors. I then used up all of those 2 colors on the walls, covering as much space as I could. Even then, the color didn't come out just like I thought. Although as I am finding bedding, etc, I am happier with the color. Good Luck!

nostalgicfarm - I was just looking at your post and wondering what color you used :)

If you haven't painted yet Miss Mustard Seed will be painting her kitchen Glass Slipper.

Here is a link that might be useful: http://missmustardseed.blogspot.com/

Thanks, forboystoo. I've always adored Miss Mustard Seed's style and can't wait to see how her kitchen turns out. I just subscribed to her blog, so I don't miss the update.

I bought a qt of Gray Cashmere yesterday just to see how it would look in my house and it's definitely looking more green than I want. I'm thinking about going back and getting a qt of BM Arctic Gray now. It looks kind of close to Steph2000's Allen + Roth Rain Puddle, but just a touch more blue.

Me, too, nostalgic farm. What color did you end up using?

I have started a Photobucket album and put in a picture of the far-from-completed-and-perhaps-temporary Rain Puddle DR, just so you can see the color. It's taken with southern sun streaming in with a digital camera. Please excuse the mess and furniture (which is going soon, the chairs already have)... Good thing I'm cool with being humble. lol

Here is a link that might be useful:

msrose, I am sure you have been given lots of other good paint options, but I did want to follow up about the Beluga. It's Miller Paint (the Devine line). No wonder you and I couldn't find it under Benjamin Moore!

Unfortunately, Miller is only in Washington and Oregon, at least to my knowledge.

xantippe - Thanks for the follow-up.

steph - I responded to you earlier, but now I don't see it. Hmm...hope I didn't respond on someone else's post :)
Rain Puddle does look different than the sample. I can see green on the left wall, but the facing wall looks blue. That's why I've been afraid to pick a color. It never looks the same on the wall as in the sample. I painted my kitchen wall four times before I got the color right. Something tells me I will be doing that here too.

Msrose - or, we could just remove our drywall and exchange it. I WANT that green in the mix, darn it! (kidding)

And, if it makes you feel any better... I WOULD have painted 4 times but we were pressed to have the house ready for the appraisal and my partner was not in his usual patient "we'll paint it until you find the right color" mode. In fact, that's why I have Valspar/allen + roth instead of Ben Moore in the first place. He made me go get paint on a weekend. Yes, that was a crisis point for me. ;)

So, I'm living with it. We'll see for how long. It's really a nice color. If only I wanted a blue DR.

Good luck with it. I find picking a paint color soooo difficult. And, I'm the worst combination because a) I'm bad at visualizing those chips on the wall even after I splotch and b) I care a lot about getting the color right. If I only had one of those two things, life would be simpler.

msrose - Oh no you DIDN't!!!! Gave me another color to consider. *sigh* Pretty indeed. THANKS. A LOT. *wink*

binsd - Are you talking about the Arctic Gray or one of the others? In case you didn't see the pictures I posted of it on the other post, here you go!

BM Arctic Gray

BM Arctic Gray

Right now I'm thinking I need to just buy a can of the Behr Light French Gray since that was my original choice and paint a wall with it. If it doesn't work, I will have a better idea of what undertone I'm looking for.

Oh no. I love the arctic gray! I need to go look at your other post now.
