Hi! Looking for suggested grey paint colors for my basement. I need one color for the large open room that will contain a kitchenette, play space for kids, couch etc. Photo of vinyl flooring and cabinet included for reference. I also need to paint a separate room that will contain gym equipment and have black mats, but I’m hoping one color will suffice for both.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Comments (1)Hi there! I used Arctic Stone in our newly finished basement. It was actually a color I found at Walmart (I think it was a glidden paint chip from there) of all places, while picking up blue painters tape! I took it to SW and they matched it perfectly! I don't have pics at the moment, as we are still moving furniture into the space, but I hope it helps. For me, it was the right amount of color, without looking like a baby nursery.It may be lighter than what you were looking for, based on the colors you mentioned, but I thought I'd put it out there anyhow.

Comments (0)I am looking for help to find paint colors for our bathroom remodel. I am planning on using Adura luxury vinyl tile flooring, the color is Graffiti Patina, in my small basement bathroom. We are going for an industrial style. The floor color contains both dark brown and grays which I think will go well with both our cream toilet and sink and white shower. Any paint color recommendations to match the flooring? We are going for a split/2-tone look like this, with a dark floor, medium shade paint color for the bottom half of the wall, and a light off-white shade for the top half of the wall. Any help is much appreciated! Also any real world photos of the Graffiti Patina flooring would be helpful as well!...See MoreBasement paint color help
Comments (1)"Foolproof" is a tall order, dude. But if I were you (I'm looking for inspiration to repaint my basement TV room, myself) I'd consider an olive green, as bright or muted as you please. Green would be a great contrast and complement to the gray and mocha; sort of a substitute for the lack of window-views of trees (or maybe your basement has windows - you didn't say)....See Morehoussaon
5 years agoI would also look a light tans and creamy whites. It is virtually impossible to pick out the exact shade on a computer. You should go to a paint store with you samples find five or less colors you like bring them home pick two and the sample them on core board. It very important to see the colors in the space. If you are getting new lighting wait until it is installed before making a final decision. Here are some colors I came up with; none is perfect, but I like muslin.
