@Lori A. Sawaya Sherwin-Williams silver mist?

Also, Sherman Williams is expensive. Are any other brands comparable to Sherman that are less expensive. But give a great look. How much does it really matter for brands?

Silvermist is pretty but it has more chroma - it's more colorful compared to the colors I suggested. Less colorful, nearer a neutral gray, is usually better. The theory is near neutrals will appeal to more people. So, from that perspective, Silvermist might not be the best choice.

Sherwin-Williams has different tiers. Super Paint is a good value IMHO. If you can catch one of their 30% or 40% off sales, you can do very well priced per square. Sometimes the sales are better than contractor pricing. Keep in mind, including mention of a quality brand and grade of paint can be a feature to help sell. If the goal is to make it move-in ready, good colors and a decent grade of paint will help.

Sherwin-Williams actually has a 30% off coupon right now - ends March 4, 2017. Click for coupon

I wouldn't go quite that dark of a gray...maybe a pale gray like BM balboa mist

You can color match anything ... but a very pale neutral grey would look good.

Go to the "off white" section and start looking.

Or do the "drop of black" technique, where you have a tiny amount of pure black added.

Thanks all for the advice really helps. Lori this coupon is going to be put to use quick.

@Charles Coaston. Good luck. Remember, don't compare price per gallon, instead compare price per square foot. Here's how:

1. Choose your grade of paint - good, better or best. I always recommend best.
2. Determine the price per gallon
3. Read the label and get the spread rate - it is on every gallon
4. Divide the price per gallon by the spread rate

Now you can fairly compare brands and grades of paint and decide if a few cents more per square foot is worth it. This needs an update but it's a good example of what I'm talking about. I priced major brands per square foot and made an infographic of the data.

The less expensive grades of paint can actually end up costing more than the top tiers for several reasons. Like, they will require more coats to achieve hide and color resolution or they may be difficult to apply and thus require more labor, etc.

A cheap can of paint is not always the great bargain it appears to be.
