Help! Light grey paint for an ivory trim?
Comments (4)Paint the trim....... don't waste time, effort and money. Trim should be painted when walls are painted anyway, unless it was VERY VERY recently done. Fresh paint will show up every tiny ding. You don't need ten room colors either. If you LOOOVE gray owl keep it, or tones of it going : ) in other areas especially those open to one another. Cheat on the bedroom areas if you like, with warm green/yellow toned paint colors. Also consider your furnishings. A room is more than the paint on the walls....See MoreLooking for an ivory wall color to go with Pure White cabinets
Comments (11)For a soft off white or ivory, a few to check out are: Acadia White, Linen White and Bone White by Benjamin Moore. Get samples and paint large swatches on poster board to move around as the light changes....See MoreAgreeable Gray against beige tile?
Comments (95)Have you looked at BM Edgecomb Gray? I had a problem with BM Balboa Mist and SW Agreeable Gray going too blue in my house. Edgecomb Gray is a light warm gray. Sometimes it looks light gray, greige, beige or a light mushroom, depending on the room or time of day. It's a neutral that has worked well in all areas for me. Of course, your home may be totally different though....See MoreWill Classic gray look more gray or beige with my granite?
Comments (7)You have posted before with pretty much the same dilemma. What did you decide for the trim? Your choices aren't working because of the natural light influence. You can't just pick a color from a sample and put it on the walls. And, no paintcolor is neutral because of the undertones. Classic gray has a fairly high LRV, making it an off white. However, the wrong natural light will make it appear pink/purple. That undertone will not work with the fireplace tile. The room doesn't look very bright and the dominant light is coming in the three windows and glass door. Consider this color instead of CG: I think it will work well with the fireplace. Try a sample by the fireplace and by the window trim. You may find you like the woodwork as is. If it is a go add a bit of this color into the scheme. I know monitors are very fickle with colors, but I think this rug is a winner with the tile and Natural Choice. Love the weave and how the background just hints at the vague blue tone in the tile. https://markandday.com/products/la-porte-traditional-cream-area-rug...See MoreRelated Professionals
