SW Whole Wheat and SW Creamy
Comments (15)Great information, everyone! Thank you so much!!!! And thank you tnfarmhouse for posting more photos! I've shown him all the photos and discussions and he's convinced he'll like the Whole Wheat and Creamy. I asked about color samples at the store and was told they were available, but they didn't recommend I use them because they were a "cheaper paint" and wouldn't look exactly like what I intended to buy! In the end, this guy won't even notice what colors are on his walls... but I will. :) Thanks again!!!...See MoreGray wall color to complement SW Rice Grain Trim
Comments (5)Did you ever paint your walls? What color did you go with? Did you paint ceilings white? We have rice grain trim and crown moulding ALL OVER our house and determining what to do as well. I hate the color and didn't really think it was a big deal upon moving in a while ago. I hear 'beiges' are in for 2021, but we are thinking of going all in with a more with Benjamin moore classic grey for walls, ceiling white and then simply white for trim and moulding....See MoreSW Dovetail or SW Intellectual Gray?
Comments (3)It looks like a stucco home. We just painted our stucco home Intellectual Gray (50%). The reason we went with 50% is because we tried Elephant Ear and hated it, and we noticed it went on much darker on the textured stucco than it did the garage. So, after asking the painters to stop with Elephant Ear, I completely regrouped and went with 50% Intellectual gray for the stucco, and Porpoise (from the same color strip) for the trim and garage door. I absolutely love it! We also stuck with the same color strip for the front door and went even darker with Urbane Bronze. I just couldn't be happier with the whole thing....See MoreNeed a color between SW Antique White and SW creamy
Comments (24)The foyer was another color in the picture. I had forgotten that. It was something like SW Napery I'm guessing. I didn't paint it. I've painted it SW Creamy since then. The point that I wanted to make with the colors was it all depends on the light. Both rooms were painted the same color. But, the rooms face different directions and have different lighting. For a while I was using a lot of Dover White for trim and cabinetry and Napery for the walls, but I moved into a new home where the previous owner had used some Creamy. I liked how it worked with my wood flooring and furnishings. I ended up using Creamy in two more houses, both walls and trim. I wanted a neutral as possible because I have warm furnishings. Only Alabaster has a lighter LRV than Creamy. Nothing in my home has any grey in it. But, I didn't want things to cast yellow. I found both Alabaster and Creamy to be very complimentary with my furnishings and the flooring the room. I ended up painting the exterior of my home Alabaster. In the bright light of day, the Creamy had too much yellow in it for my exterior when it was put side to side with the Alabaster. But, it was perfect inside. Alabaster would have worked, but the Creamy on the interior works really nicely....See Morejfswain67
