Help- need a neutral ivory/beige that compliments BM Harbor Gray
Comments (1)Would BM Montgomery White work? It is not really a white or even an off-white, but more like an ivory on the warm yellow side. It can look yellow or beige depending on what it's near and the lighting. Really nice, vesatile neutral....See MoreHelp...my carefully planned neutral gray is blue-gray
Comments (3)That is really unfortunate about the girl at the BM store, she should be there to assist with these very issues! Would you be willing to paint yourself? You will be so much happier if you love the color... To get a warm gray right, you have to choose a color that looks like a mix between grey/beige. This is a great one- BM Grant Beige HC-83....See MoreDoes a gray-green-beige neutral go with... a warm, muted gold?
Comments (6)I don't have pics to share of the bedroom yet but imagine EK Pumice (which is actually a light grey-green-tan, pretty exactly) with golden strandwoven bamboo flooring. And walnut cabinetry, and similarly-toned brown fabric headboard. Nickel and frosted glass light fixtures. The drapes and the bed fabrics, in shades of gold and very light grey-green (I also have some bluish-grey sheets that look *so great* against the green-grey duvet and brown headboard...you wouldn't expect it, but they all kind of glow when they're next to each other) make it all work together. Here is a link that might be useful: something similar...yellows and grays on AT...See MoreBest warm neutral Gray or Greige paint?
Comments (48)@Lori A. Sawaya I really have to thank you. Your questioning why the builder is so strict about only using SW colors motivated me to ask again. I explained that SW has the color-match formulas in their system, nationwide, etc. The home builder salesman I had been dealing with had never had anyone ask to color match & investigated further. I can color match! Also, I did get a SW sample of Behr Silver Drop. I had asked for a quart in a flat finish as that is what the builder will paint with. Miscommunication & I ended up with a jug of Silver Drop in the SW satin sample paint & a can of Silver Drop in a SW (Superpaint) flat finish. Three drywall boards of Silver Drop & 3 different colors. The salesman at SW had told me that the lighter color samples that use Extra White as the base are usually very slightly lighter than the regular paint. I'm going to continue my search & check out BM colors. I so enjoy your posts. We are very lucky that you so generously share your knowledge & expertise....See MoreRelated Professionals
