Either one is fine! I'd give a slight nod to Exterior paints, since their resins are a LITTLE more flexible than Interior paints. That's by far the main difference! MORE importantly tho... Clean those walls!!! Vacuum them off well, and ideally, use a primer first for the best long-run look. Use an Exterior Satin or Semi-gloss for the walls in a Garage IMO...MUCH easier cleaning there if a higher sheen is used! Faron

I almost completed the interior of my garage. I had my garage floor done with a beautiful black and silver metallic flake epoxy over a light grey base tone on floor. The finish has a very high gloss top coat that looks stunning! . . It almost looks wet! The walls were just painted a medium charcoal for the top half of the walls. The bottom half I had a PVC Material (taupe color) attached to the wall (easy to just hose down). Wall cabinets are white, and door at the moment, is a bright bright white color with black accents. I think I do want to keep the black accents. I am trying to figure out: (1) Should I mute the white a bit on the door color so not to be so stark and get them closer to the white in the cabinets orrrr maybe paint the door an extremely light grey color? (2) The trim right now matches the wall which I'm NOT sure I like. I was thinking of doing the trim a very deep charcoal color (almost black but not quite) . . same color I actually used on the beam that runs across the garage ceiling. And maybe make the stairs the same color as the trim? Need some suggestions. I attached a picture to give you a visual.

LOL. I'm not surprised by the feedback so far lol. I know . . it's just . . a . . GARAGE. But it's part of my house and appreciate it as much as the other rooms in my house : ) I guess one of those guilty pleasures ; ) . . I'm leaning towards a very very light grey, almost white for the door? . . kinda blends in with the taupe color scheme on the bottom half of the wall. The stark white has got to go. Everything else is warm, and the white is screaming white, more than the cabinets which is a softer white but crisp looking somewhat. . . possibly leaning towards a super dark charcoal trim and match the stairs up to it? Yes, they grinded down the concrete and applied the epoxy steps. 3 day process. It's pretty cool. Need some more feedback to help in my decision.

My Dad recently painted his whole house in SW Accessible Beige, which is a griege that leans warm. He doesn't have marble flooring though. His house is totally in the warm (brown) color tones. It came down between that and Worldly Gray, which leans cool, but to my eye has a green undertone that didn't look good in his house. It sounds like you want to choose a light griege that leans to the warm side. Someone taught me how to choose the perfect griege. It goes like this: Have your lighting already installed because that will impact the way paint looks. Go to the griege area in the fan-deck of paint colors (in the area that includes "worldly gray," and "accessible beige." Look at the darkest paint colors on the strips. Considering your room, decide what underone you would like to have in your paint color and choose 2 or 3 paint strips where the darkest color represents an undertone you want. Now move up the paint strips to the lighter colors (probably the lightest). Now choose 2 or 3 light griege paints and go to the SW store with some samples of materials from your room and nearby rooms (such as paint color of adjacent rooms, cabinet color, marble flooring, etc.). Ask the SW people to weigh in. They might suggest a color you hadn't thought of. Get 2, 3 or 4 samples at SW. Paint large areas of your room in the samples. Let it dry all the way and look at the colors at different times of the day to choose your color. For me this method has worked well to choose different grieges for my house. Some of the grieges I chose lean warm and some lean cool. The one in my bedroom has a green undertone which works great for that room but would look horrible in others. The method above works great to lead you to the perfect color without having to get 30 samples.
