Revere Pewter and Drop Cloth Curtains - Yum!
Comments (34)I love the revere pewter! I can't get over how much more I like it than the blues you were trying! And the drapes are perfect with the room! Definitely worth the time washing and ironing! It paid off! I like the final selection in lamps also. I'm not sure if the shades from Target you were referring to were the lighter linen colored burlap drum shade? I can see those working with the room or another choice would be the white drum shade with the black band of ribbon around the base. Also at Target. A rug like this would be the finishing touch. Don't know if you have Garden Ridge out your way, but they have a big selection, some in wool. Anyway, something like this would look great and the 8x10 is only $99!...See MoreRevere Pewter for my dining room
Comments (19)RP contrasts enough with white trim -- it's the light wood furniture and the different undertones that aren't working. Your low contrast art adds to the effect. If the furniture stays, I'd look at the RP for the hall and more color in the DR. RP would go great with eggplant if you are considering that direction. The eggplant would also look good with the teal glass in your cabinet. The new photo with the test swatch of RP also shows some Asian china pieces. This grey was one I mentioned earlier (evening dove) and it would look great with the orange/paprika color as well as the dark blue in those. You can see the pairing with peachy and orange tones in the pillows and flowers. Might be easier for DH to handle a deeper grey too. Some guys can't deal with anything resembling purple (you could tell him it's warm or fruity cocoa -- LOL). I think it would also transition well with RP in the entry (look at the ceiling -- a similar idea). Looking at RP on the BM website, they show it with mink and dalton blue-- that goes to a darker grey brown (almost a slightly greyed cocoa) and a pale grey blue (that could go on the ceiling if you get adventurous). Your crystal chandelier (see it in the reflection) would be very pretty against any of these darker colors. Have we confused you more? Will the RP work in the entry so the painter can keep painting? LOL...See MoreRevere Pewter isn't working..
Comments (15)Start by thinking about what you want. You want a greige with less peachy, so something with less red in it and more yellow. I actually ran into this problem recently with a room I was painting, everything turned out to appear more red than originally. What I had ended up with was PPG Best Beige. Now if you compare it to some of the other beiges you can see there is more red in it. It is 2nd row 3rd from the right. http://www.ppgpittsburghpaints.com/color/paint-colors/beiges When I compare the paint I ended up with other beiges, it does have a touch more red than some of the others, but I didn't have time to mess with it anymore after 3 attempts it needed to be done. I stopped looking so hard at it and don't notice it now and the paint looks fine. If you look at the gray color palate revere pewter is in the center 2nd row down. Find something more yellow than that, one that catches your eye. Try that one. http://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/for-your-home/color-gallery#&ce_vm=2&ce_fam=4...See MoreBM Light Pewter with Revere Pewter?
Comments (23)I see brown/green undertones in Revere Pewter; I see gray/brown undertones in Light Pewter Revere Pewter is a beautiful wall color. However, like any paint color, it will be affected by natural light. I have it in my living room/dining, which get east, north and south light and it Is perfect thought the day. You have very little natural light in the basement room, so going light isn’t always the answer. If you have a dark room where you need to have lights on all the time, do something deeper which works with the lighting you have. My experience is darker makes a space look bigger because the corner shadows aren’t as obvious....See More

10 years agoI have BM Camouflage in my bedroom and I love it. Please understand that it is my first real venture away from creamy white, so it felt like a really bold move for me. It is very chameleon-ish, depending on the light and time of day. Sometimes I see a bit of blue in it. It reminds me of eucalyptus in the fog.
That being said, it doesn't photograph very well. It reads more green to me than these photos indicate. Guess it depends on your point of view: if you are used to color on the walls, it might look a bit tan, but to me, I see green.
Usual disclaimer, please disregard unstaged bedroom:

10 years agoBM Nantucket Grey (in my previous kitchen - pic below and please ignore the French's mustard half wall!). It read quite grey green there, but I tried a sample on a wall in my new home and it was too dark...
I'm also working on painting my family room and using Sherwin Williams Svelte Sage. I was looking for a greyish green and I kept seeing it come up in blogs/recs for that. But it's definitely more green than gray I think...
