Grey Paint, Please Recommend
Comments (1)I just painted my bathroom SW Silverplate. It is a cool light gray. I think it would look good with the stainless in your kitchen. I just took the photo -- I don't have all the trim up yet, but I hope this helps....See MoreLight French Gray? Gray Blue? Small Home PLEASE Help!
Comments (8)A house with wood floors and white trim can use almost any wall color. The only piece of the puzzle I can't see are the 'white granite' counters you mention. I wouldn't select paint color until you have at least a sample of the counter, and the backsplash to go with it. There are many whites and some will look better with your materials than others. Many people (and even some designers) try to put warm whites like White Dove with everything, but they don't look that good with blue-grays like Carrara. But as far as Light French Gray, it can lean blue in some lighting conditions. Whatever you consider, you'll want to try large sample areas on the wall before you decide. Another thing, if you haven't already - I'd remove all those window treatments (esp in kitchen) to let in as much light as possible. Consider roller shades or cell shades instead, things that can mostly be all the way up or down as needed. Avoid plantation shutters, their frames block 30% of the light, even when tilted open. Place a couple mirrors opposite a window to reflect more light in to the space. If the wiring is easily accessible, you might add a few can lights to the kitchen ceiling....See MoreRecommend a light grey paint from lowes that does look baby blue? Thx

Comments (2)Have you done a search here for photos? In the search bar, type in "blue gray exterior siding" in Photos and you'll get quite a few results to pop up. Here's just one for colors, not home style:...See More

9 years agoMy house is painted 2121-30 Benjamin Moore Pewter. In some light it looks gray, other light it looks blue. It's a nice saturated color but doesn't suck the light out of the room. Looks great with white trim.

9 years agoI used BM Piedmont Gray for an accent wall in my living room (southeast exposure). We love it and I've had visitors inquire about the color's name. It's on the same strip as Gray Wisp, which was too light and "greenish" for me.
Yes, I'm still working on the fireplace mantel :)

9 years agoTibbrix, interesting indeed. I hadn't noticed that. Here are the two rooms side by side. VCB is on the left, NHG on the right. Choosing between "grays" makes my head spin.
