Any ideas what color these painted ceiling planks are?

4 years ago

Hi everyone,

Anyone have any guesses what color those dark ceiling planks are?? Would really like to duplicate that look in the entertainment room we are currently remodeling. The picture was pinned as a black ceiling idea, but the color is certainly not black. Looks to be a shade of grey with a bit of color in it. We’ve had great success with the Benjamin Moore Aura line of paints, hopefully we can find something within their collection.

The daylight in the room is likely lightening the appearance of the paint color. It may very well be black. Impossible to know for sure what color it is.

Hi Ida, the reason I don’t think it’s black is because the couch and details like the mirror frame look black.

kitchendetective, Here's exactly what the decorator told me: "The paint and stains inquired about are custom finishes sold exclusively with our cabinetry (not sold in stores). We would be happy to look at your plans and assist you with the kitchen design and components. Thank you again for your interest and we look forward to hearing from you! Thank you." chips4000, did you try to duplicate the stain on the cabinets also? Any hints on what it might be? Thank you for the paint "recipe!!!" Also, I couldn't get into your link you sent. Thank you!

I don't know what SW paint this picture is closest to, but I think you may be approaching this the wrong way. If this is from a magazine, the color printed may not be close even if they tell you the paint. Paint chips can look very different from the real thing. If you love this color, your best bet is to take this picture to a paint store and have them custom match the color.

I would try leaving the beams alone and painting the rest of the ceiling a darker color, maybe squirrel tail? (Benjamin Moore shows squirrel tail as a color that goes with dove wing). I think that would lessen the contrast between the beams and the ceiling so the beams don't stand out as much and help lower the ceiling visually. I would really hesitate to paint the beams as they are so lovely as is and it would be very difficult to go back once you have painted them. I would make painting them a last resort.

Benjamin Moore color capture says it might be Squire Hill Buff 1068 or Sepia Tan 1116. Might look at those and test them in your space.

Black. Just a different shade than the other elements in the room.

I see what you mean about the other elements in the room displaying as more of what you might consider a "true" black, but just like white, there are myriad different shades of black. I would suggest you just start looking at very deep, dark charcoal shades to see if anything strikes your fancy. Much will depend on the lighting in your own space too, of course.

Looks very much like my front door which is BM wrought iron. The BM guy said this was among the most popular, so I’m willing to guess it could be it.

swatch it on the ceiling as it's going to look darker there than if you look at it elsewhere in the room.

Take a picture close up, clear white lighting and they can color match at the store.
