SW Navajo White vs BM Navajo White?
Comments (7)Every room in my entire home is painted in BM Navaho White. I have very large windows and window walls in pretty much every room, and facing every direction. The rooms all read "creamy white" and not yellow but, that said, there is enough yellow in this paint so that the walls don't clash with any of the Mexican Talavera tile we've used in here. The white in Talavera tiles does have a slight yellow cast to it, and it took me a while to find the right White to look white but also work with my tile....See MoreHELP! Can't choose between BM Quiet Moments and SW Sea Salt!
Comments (17)I sampled sea salt, quiet moments and rainwashed. In my very brightly lit, wall of southern windows (that have white plantation shutters that REALLY reflect our bright green florida lawn and our equally bright blue skies) open living space the Sea salt turned bright blue, quiet moments gray, and rainwashed bright green. All three of these colors look radically different and more like paint chip in my bright east facing bath that does Not reflect a lot of green and blue into room. i mixed 1/3 of each sample (measured with a scale for exact replicable measurements) and came out with a beautiful soft grayed green blue). Playing with other ratios today with same samples. my local paint store wouldnt take responsibility for calculating formulas based on my mad science projects, so they gave me all three individual formulas for me to calculate what i want. They will mix to those numbers. i am having them do a sample tomorrow with that formula to make sure it comes out good. good luck everyone....See MorePaint Help - SW Agreeable Gray vs SW Anew Gray

Comments (3)The reason you are confused is because you are testing the colors by painting them directly on the wall that already has another neutral color painted on it that isn't going to be in your space once you paint. Buy a large white poster board. Get some 240 lb water color paper at you local craft store. create a sample of each color on a sheet of the water color paper. 2 coats of paint. Place the poster board in your room - look at each color one at a time in the middle of the white poster board. Look at the same 3 samples on each wall - keep notes - which do you like the best. Look at them in the morning, afternoon and evening with and without your interior lights turned on. Look at the colors behind your furniture, next to the wallpaper....See Morehawami
