Need gray SW paint color to go with Waypoint "stone" cabinets.
My house is under construction. The builder wants paint colors by Dec 5. I am not able to pick colors later taking into consideration the room lighting etc., so I want to play it safe.
Attached is a vignette of the floor tile (darkest gray), the Waypoint "painted stone" cabinets (small gray painted square), backsplash (the white rectangle Dal Finesse subway tile is off to the left side) and HiMacs counter top (small white square).
The house will have 10' ceilings, lots of windows but shaded by 8' porches on all sides. I have same finishes throughout and would like to make this easy and pick one interior gray color. Trim and windows will be bright white.
I found one paint strip in the SW deck which seems to be a good choice. It has Greyish and Essential Gray on the card.
My dilemma is I am having trouble finding other examples of paint color successes using this painted cabinetry. It's the new grey cabinet color most cabinetry lines have started carrying under different names. Has anyone else used this painted stone color cabinetry and what color paint did you use?
Any advice or opinions here?

Does BM Amherst Gray go with SW Jogging Path

Comments (15)We found that the Shitake really changed tone depending upon what it was surrounded by. I would suggest painting a large sample board and moving from place to place in your light and against your other materials. I found choosing paint colors the hardest part of building our home. You have to have a large sample and take to the actual place you want to paint it to see the light because it changes depending on where you are....See MoreNeed help with SW paint ideas to go with new gray oak floors!
Comments (8)I purchased a new home and got these new gray oak floors installed but now the paint that was in the home prior( Dolphin Fin by Behr) looks too blue and dark. Need a lighter or less blue color that will go with the floors, white cabinets, white Calacatta quartz, white subway backsplash, and brushed gold hardware. My painter only uses Sherwin Williams. Thinking Snowbound, Origami white, Zurich white, Aesthetic White, or even agreeable gray( although I tested it and it doesn't look too far off from the Dolphin Fin). All with High Reflective white trim. Please share thoughts....See MoreNeed help creating color palette that compliments SW Agreeable Gray
Comments (3)Patricia is right, you choose the paint color last. But I imagine what you're trying to do is get a picture in your head of what the whole thing will look like when it's done. Given the information provided, I will say that Agreeable Gray is pretty neutral. It is a good color in a south facing room or a room that gets a lot of light. Of course one of my relatives painted almost her whole house that color and she loves it, so each to their own. And I don't think she is the only one - it is a very popular color. But it shouldn't drive the bus if she only has one room that color. If the other rooms you're talking about, like the kitchen, don't get as much light and the homeowner is thinking about green cabinets, she will probably be looking at warm off whites. There are dozens of them. One of them will work. She should design her kitchen and not worry about the paint color. She could also consider just having a green island and keeping the rest more neutral. See if you can get her to compile an Ideabook in Houzz of kitchens she likes....See More

6 years agoI appreciate everyone's comments. I am looking now at finding a beige color to emulate these photos I found that have the similar color to the cabinets I am installing.
Benjamin Moore Edgecomb Gray comes up often as the paint used in these photos. I read that SW7632 Modern Gray or Worldly Gray are close.

6 years agoI'm with Sophie on this. Don't go grey. I like Sea Salt because it has grey undertones and goes with practically everything.

6 years agoI'll say it a little bit nicer, heck a lot nicer than Sophie, that the gray on gray on gray is probably not the best route to go. Everything in your vignette is neutral so that leaves you a wide range of color ideas, blues, reds, etc. Worldly gray is close (it's a match for BM Revere Pewter, but is really not that far off from the paint strip you showed. Here is Worldly Gray in our LR.

6 years agohow do you all like this idea? it's using Wool Skein on walls with Pure White ( close to backsplash tile) as trim? I included a black as the lights over the island will be black.

6 years agoYes there will be recessed cans throughout....LED. Also under cabinet lights and two pendants over the island. My furnishings are mostly warm tans. I am not framed yet....getting ready for the slab to be poured. Here is an artists rendering of the kitchen....10' ceilings.

5 years agoI ended up using Sherwin Williams Shoji White on walls and ceiling with Pure White trim. the color charts call this a light yellow, but I see pink. it might be because the walls are plastered.
