I had, and have, no pink anywhere, either. The colors in that library were all greens and terracottas and sisal and medium and dark toned woods...so the important thing was to keep it very peachy. The effect was to warm the neutrality of the gray. If you were to choose a blue, you might find the effect colder than you like. If you wanted to stay with the warm idea, but are a little put off by the pink idea, there's also a nice color adjacent to Melon Tint called French Vanilla (SW 7118) that is a little yellower, but still peachy. Whatever you decide, try to make sure you are choosing a tone that is light reflective rather than light absorbing...and be sure to look at your sample board -- you will make a sample board, won't you... :>) -- in the plane in which it will live...that is, stuck to the ceiling beside the trim. You want to avoid what my DH calls the V.A. Hospital effect, when a soft neutral appears in an unhelpful light condition. End of lecture!

Here are 2 colours that work really well with BM Revere Pewter. OC-20 is called Pale Oak. I've used all 3 together and they look great IMO. I'd struggle to put a dark colour on my ceiling but with the height you have, it might be really nice. Where my Revere Pewter and Rockport Grey come together, it is sometimes hard to tell where one ends and the other begins. I'm not sure if that is what you are looking for, or maybe you want more contrast. In my house, which has a lot of natural light from south facing windows there is a definite green tone to both the Rockport and the RP. But my sister has RP in her house and it is most definitely taupe or greige when contrasted against mahogany trim and lots of natural light, mainly north facing windows. It can be a tricky colour for some, so best to try it out in many places and in different lights (daylight and night, but also different colours of lightbulbs can make a huge difference too) I don't envy whoever has to climb up there and do all that painting!

A mini buffet of possibilities. No way to know if the Lowe's version of the colors is accurate without measuring them - could be spot on, might be miles off. Existing wall color is strong. It's going to influence how you're seeing new swatches If it's just one coat, it's not enough. Need two coats for proper film thickness thus color rendering. Yes, it could be the light and other stuff too. Colors influence each other. The color relationship of anything "orange" in nearby context of lower chroma, near neutral colors, like Revere Pewter and Colonnade Gray, from this hue family can make them look blue/purple/purple-blue. Home brand BenM and SW versions of Revere Pewter and Colonnade Gray are nearly identical. Biggest difference is Chroma: Colonnade is slightly less colorful, more gray than Revere Pewter - most people would probably not even notice a difference.

Hi, I see lot of people here mentioning that they can get a current paint made lighter from Home Depot by asking them to make it lighter by 50%, etc. But, my Home Depot guys were not familiar with how to do it. I would like to lighten Revere Pewter paint by 50% and would really appreciate it if someone who has done this before can share some instructions on how they were able to get that.
