Paint Sheen/Colors for Fireplace (Ben Moore)
Comments (2)Sheen of any kind definitely shows flaws so if you want to cover flaws, use flat. However, I do love eggshell for everything, except trim. Eggshell has a bit of a sheen at first, but over a few months that does diminish, but you still have the durability and washability of the eggshell. Flat paint is just so blah to me. Eggshell just looks better. I would keep the trim on the windows the same as the trim in the adjoining room....See MoreHelp - Ben Moore Alabaster
Comments (0)Hello, Deciding between Ben Moore: Alabaster, Cotton Balls or Swiss Coffee. Hoping to have the same color throughout my Apt. My floors are a light hardwood. The space does not have a lot of natural light. I have large sample squares up and can't decide. I live in Toronto - grey winters... I chose these three to sample because two have warm undertones (Alabaster and Cotton Balls) and one doe not (Swiss Coffee - reads as soft though) I like them all and can't decide. Can anyone tell me if they have experience with any of these colors on the wall? Thanks...See MoreWall color suggestions for Swiss coffee trim
Comments (5)I know exactly how you feel. I love this kitchen But I bought a mid century modern and the rest of the house is in these colors That room would stick out like a sore thumb and would not create a feeling of harmony. I am guessing that you picked Swiss Coffee trim because it works with your color scheme and that you wanted a softer look. If you look at m paint choices, I do have more color than most people, but when you look at a fan deck those teal blue greens that you are seeing are BM Quiet Moments, Beach Glass and Stoneybrook. I actually traded Beach Glass out for SW Silver Strand. Beach Glass had a powdery blue tone in mid afternoon sun so I needed something with just a touch more color/less gray (Chroma). I also tested Quietude, but it was just a hair too brilliant to go with the rest of my home. Colors always look more colorful on 400 square feet of wall then they do on a 1" square fan deck swatch or even a 1' painted sample. If I were you, before making any more decisions, decide on a whole home color palette. Take samples of everything you have already picked (flooring, cabinets, counters), things that you are bringing with you that you love and are not willing to part with and pick colors that work with those things. Looking at colors in natural daylight is the best way to see any hidden undertones and will get you close to where you want to be. You can tweak as you go along, but you know what the look and feel will be for the entire home. I always pick my "Colors" first, then a neutral that works with my colors, then a white that works with my neutral and colors for doors and trim. I generally paint the main part of my home with the neutral and do bedrooms, bathrooms, laundry (any room with a door) with my colors. I use the neutrals in the bedrooms/bathrooms and use the colors in furnishings and accents and art in my neutral rooms. My rule of thumb is to have 60% neutral/40% color and 10% accent color. The brightest colors that I think would work well with your white and give you a softer, but similar feel would be Rainwashed, Quietude, Tradewind, Rain....See MoreKelly Moore Swiss Coffee with Benjamin Moore's Dove Wing
