Sherwin Williams White Paint for Interior Doors
Comments (4)It's usually best to choose the right color of white for interior trim and doors based on existing window casing color, plantation shutters (if there are any), existing white cabinetry, toilet, tub, counter top color. Those elements inform which color of white is the right one. There isn't a color of white that just magically goes with everything. With that said, Sherwin Williams Extra White is a nice, clean but not too stark color of white. Just be careful it doesn't make the color of any fixed element look dingy....See MoreSherwin Williams vs Benjamin Moore Interior Paint
Comments (30)Concerning the Fine Paints of Europe. DO NOT USE !! My painter suggested this for its excellent results. Well, the paint completely failed. It cracked, peeled, faded in less than one year of use. The local paint store refunded me, and many other customers, the cost of the paint and plus additional amounts for labor. FWIW: the paint store closed down & filed for bankruptcy about 5 months ago....See Morewarm gray Sherwin Williams interior paint colors
Comments (5)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....See MoreContractor Quoted Sherwin WIlliams Interior Paint BUT...
Comments (11)ah, thank you latifolia. I misread that. Maybe they got orders mixed up?? double check w/the contractor and see what happened. If you're paying for SW (which BTW, is having a 30%-off sale at the moment) then you need to be compensated for the diff. (if you go w/the Behr) I've used it throughout my home (as well as BM) and have never had issues with it at all. I've painted w/pretty much every paint under the sun and like Behr. Unless you're getting a deep, saturated color, there really isn't much diff. John, did you pick your color from the SW color deck? if so, and Behr did a color match, it may not be exactly the same. So before committing to having all the walls painted, have them try a sample of the Behr (if you plan on using it) and see how it looks once dry....See MoreAlly De
