Looking for a true gray
Comments (19)Granite and Seal can come out leaning a little blue. Sometimes when they read 'really blue' I wonder if the mix is correct. When you go to the Home Depot, somewhere in the paint department they should have a giant book of "The Master Palette" - it's usually hanging on the end of an aisle very near the paint counter. They do not have all those chips out in the Glidden display but they can mix the colors in samples, etc. If you don't find these colors in your local HD's display, look in the big book. Even tho the chips are small, you can hopefully determine if you want to buy samples.

Comments (4)Hadn't really noticed the wall color -- just everything else in that kitchen, but the color looks similar to SW Agreeable Grey. We used it at 150% so it's darker here, ut we looked at all the related shades too. I think that would be a good place to look for something similar.

Comments (10)There really is no substitution for testing the colors in your space and different light through the day. For a suppposedly neutral color, greys can be tricky. Fact of the matetr is that a greyy can be any color plus black or some canceling tones. Revere Pewter goes violet on me and Edgecomb grey a bit green in some rooms. I wound up going to Sherwin Williams and trying their colors. Agreeable Grey was the right tone for my living areas, but I am doing them at 150% to get a little deeper color. I am using Anew Grey in my entry and stairwell -- that hasn't been done yet. . More important to your question about going with cool and warm colors -- the Agreeable Grey in my FR had to work with red brick, cherry hutch and dark wood floors as well as blue, green and white in the upoho;stery, rug and kitchen cabinets and counters. Anything that tended green made the red brick fireplace more intense and anything too warm made it pinker/orangier. Agreeable Grey at 100% was too light -- was too close to my grout and looked chalky, so we just added more color and went to 150%. SInce it is a light color to begin with, it is still light, just richer. The result was amazing -- my red brick calmed down. No more orangey, purpley/brown red. And it is so soft and neutral with the blues,, green and white. We did the ceiling at a reduced value. It was the first time I had used SW paints and as much as I liked BM, I was just as pleased with this job (DIY)....See MoreHow would I make cabinets look gray?
Comments (6)@patty I can't glaze it with the conversion varnish. I will go on a sample spree of whites. After 23 gray samples and & 27 blue samples, hopefully I can get away with 3 or 4....See MoreRelated Professionals
