Looking for a soft gray blue color with no green undertones
Comments (6)Try Sidewalk Gray by Benjamin Moore. It looked blue in the morning in my west facing kitchen, and more gray at night. Really a pretty color I don't ever hear many people talking about. It really changed throughout the day and no green undertones I could see....See Morei need a gray that is gray!! not blue, purple or green :(
Comments (6)Adding black to white will give you gray. This is different than mixing colors trying to get black or gray. Ask your paint store guy. But if you feel too timid to try this then check out the rooms in the link below. When you click on the photo it will tell you the brand and name of the paint they used. Keep in mind that putting a tiny bit of color sample against the gold wall will affect the way you view it. Try putting the gray paint in the middle of a large white board leaving white edges and then placing the board in different spots around the room to see how you like it with different light hitting it.

Comments (8)BM smokestack grey is gorgeous, and yes it is a bue/green gray color. LazyGray by SW is also beautiful, but, it isnt a blue/greenish color like you say you are looking for. It is very gray looking....See MoreComplementary Light Blue or Green Gray to pair with BM Wedgewood Gray?
Comments (4)Many thanks @Karolina De Costa and @Judy Graham! In our home, the Wedgewood Gray starts off blue in the morning and then goes blue green as the room gets more light. @Karolina De Costa, I actually did a small sample of Ewing Blue, but I was worried it might be a bit bright? In the family room, the sample I did looks similar (though brighter) than the Gray Cashmere we have in the MBR, which looks like a pale green-blue or blue-green color in the light in that room. I was going to switch out what's in the master and put Gray Cashmere in the main living areas, but it looks a lot grayer in the family room than it does in the master, on the sample at least. For whatever reason, everything in this pic looks a lot grayer than it does IRL - BM Ewing Blue looks brighter in person.
