Anyone Use SW Grassland or Svelte Sage for their Exterior?
Comments (1)Dont know about the exterior, but I'm using svelte sage in my house for a guestroom. It looks really nice and i think it would look beautiful outside too. I tested grassland too, but I liked the darker, greyer look of the ss color. The samples are definitely worth getting to test it out! Hth....See MoreAnyone used these SW colors on exterior trim?
Comments (10)On my SW Whites and Lights brochure, there's 50 true whites, cooler whites, and warmer whites. Alabaster is a true white. I have Alabaster on my ceiling because I saw it recommended a few times as a soft white. Pure White and Extra White are listed as true whites. IIRC, Pure White was brighter than Alabaster. Eider White is cool, with green undertones imo, Nacre is warm and looks a little green/gold, and Creamy looks like a pale cream--not grayed down, but not bright either. I don't have Incredible White--I cut a few off trying to pick a ceiling color....See MoreSW Dovetail or SW Intellectual Gray?
Comments (3)It looks like a stucco home. We just painted our stucco home Intellectual Gray (50%).

So, after asking the painters to stop with Elephant Ear, I completely regrouped and went with 50% Intellectual gray for the stucco, and Porpoise (from the same color strip) for the trim and garage door. I absolutely love it! We also stuck with the same color strip for the front door and went even darker with Urbane Bronze. I just couldn't be happier with the whole thing....See MoreHas anyone used SW Silverpoint as an interior paint?
