Linda do you happen to have a picture you could share? :)

Does that room get any natural light?

Not sure if these will help, when I look back at these the lighting wasn’t too good.

Thanks Linda…I will definitely get a sample. You have a lot of natural light so it looks lighter in your room then it will in mine. Kathy my room gets very little natural light.

Thanks Linda..I forgot about Gossamer Veil..it really is such a lovely neutral….Hi Linda👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻

Julie …Lindas color is city loft. What do you think of the gossamer veil
I posted? Thanks 😊

My favorite is still the natural tan with gossamer veil 2nd of those you are showing.

Thanks cubby for your vote. I need everyone’s opinion. This is so hard for me.

I like the accessible beige 25% lightened ,and also, gossamer veil.

Thanks Nicci 😊 The 25% accessible beige is growing on me. I have looked at these colors all day and I swear they look different throughout the day. Lol
I see Parker is looking at edgecomb gray. Do you think it would be an option for my room ? Molly says SW does a good match.

I think any color is going to look different at different times of the day and in different lighting, Mary. I know it is so hard to choose a paint color. It is the part I find hardest in decorating. Our painter was having a color matched and the SW tech turned it completely blue. The painter had to start over and passed the savings of the paint replacement on to me ,BUT I had to pay for the labor of what they had done before I saw it ! So, mistakes do happen. I would try to find a color in the SW or Behr line that wouldn’t have to be matched, if I were you . Behr has some pretty ones that might suit. Also, here is a good comparison photo ( note some you have looked at) . What about taking a look at “ Agreeable Gray” ( top row) ? Your living room turned out beautifully, Mary. It is so hard to choose online to make suggestions for you. Your eyes , in the real setting, will be the best judge.

Hey Mary..city Loft is a really nice color..Light and crisp..I miss typed and said gossamer veil..but I do like that color too. Accessible is a very safe color.

Some rooms with Agreeable Gray. In these photos at least , it looks like a color that would go with both warmer tones like your carpet, as well as the gray accents you have.

Here are some nice light, but still with color, ones from Behr, Mary.

Thanks Nicci for more options to look at. You are so right…choosing a paint color is the hardest part! Funny that you mentioned agreeable gray because I was considering it for my living room and already was looking at the sample before you posted. I have ordered 2 more samples city loft that Julie/Linda suggested and Edgecomb gray. I have eliminated Accesssible beige from this photo.
L to R. 25% Acc beige, agreeable gray, and vossmer veil. Side is natural tan.

I still vote for Gossamer Veil :)

Both gossamer and agreeable would look beautiful!

Natural tan has the warmth in your rug.

Morning Mary.

I have noticed you are trying 25% lighter paints. Is it still the same undertones just lighter? I was thinking on my firepalce if I could make the edgecomb grey 25% lighter and use full strength on walls and lighter on fp. Would that be a reasonable thing to try? Thanks!

Hi Parker....I did get the accessible beige 25% lighter....it does have the same undertones but reads a little more gray than beige. I think trying the edgecomb grey for the fireplace at 25% lighter would be worth trying. I had read 25% lighter moves it up about 4 points on the LRV scale.

Thanks Mary. You are becoming an expert on paint. :)

Ok ladies I received 2 more samples. I need your votes for the umpteenth (?) time!

The 2 new ones are City Loft which I think I'm seeing a little pink and Edgecomb Grey which is similar to agreeable gray just a tad lighter.

Left to right: City Loft, Edgecomb grey, 25 % acc. beige, gossamer veil, agreeable gray, and natural tan on the side.

I'm done getting samples....the more I get the harder it is. Lol

Which ones do you like? Thanks :)

Good Morning Mary. Since this is an official vote- I like Gossamer Veil because its lighter.

Edgecomb gray and Gossamer veil

The Edgecomb gray looks darker in your room than Parker’s. What do you think of it?

Mary can you put the samples under the picture so we can see how they look next to your couch?

Actually I like it KJoy. I took that picture early this morning plus its dreary out so maybe that's why it looks darker. I will need to look at it a few days in different lighting. I worry the gossamer veil leans too much gray when looking at it through out the day I see more gray than any beige whereas the edgecomb gray has that beige. Is gossamer veil still your favorite?

Molly I will try that. Thanks:)

Gossamer veil on the left Edgecomb on the right..in bright daylight. Edgecomb is warm..gossamer veil is cool

My wall is Anew gray

Edgecomb is pretty. I liked it over at Parkers too 🙃

I really like Edgecomb too. My friend just did her whole house in it and it is beautiful. Just doesn't work for me and my paneling. :(

Here are all the colors by the couch. Thanks!

I like Gossamer Veil best I think based on the pictures. What does your DH think? Paint is hard!

I’m thinking Gossamer Veil, too.

Julie do you mean gossamer is cool compared to edgecomb because I read gossamer is a warm color ? It reads cool to me too.

Molly....DH sees all my samples and laughs... he thinks I'm nuts!

When I have it narrowed down more he will tell me which one he likes best. :)

Kjoy and Parker....I do like the edgecomb but still torn between the 25% acc. beige as well...maybe because it would be a safe pick.

Couldn’t of said it better…great description of these two paint colors.

Mary my DH helped eliminate colors and left the final decision up to me. I went with China White (suggested by Julie). It’s a nice warm white, but I know you are looking for more color. 🙂

Molly...I get the final decision too :)

Keep the color warm whatever you chose. A cool grey might be modern but will not harmonize with the other colors in your room.

Mary Accessible Beige doesn’t look too dark in Parker’s house…are you considering it again?

Hi Kjoy:) AB doesn't look too dark in Parker's house...but I believe she has 2 nice size windows in the room.

I have a large sliding door (window/southern exposure) in the adjacent kitchen about 8 ft away so that is probably why it looks darker in my room but I am still considering it.

DH and I have narrowed it down to 3. L to R...AB 25%, AB, and SW version of Edgecomb Gray.

I am leaning toward Accessible Beige. I know its the darkest of the 3 but I am keeping in mind that it is lighter than the current green which is a 50 LRV. Thoughts?

I think you should go with your gut and go with the accessible beige.

I love the 25% lighter accessible beige of the three. I think it’s a compromise for the color you love while being careful not to go too dark while still allowing your white trim to pop.

Thank you kjoy and Monica for your votes.....believe it or not I'm getting closer to a final decision:)

Waiting for Julie, Parker, & all other friends to vote.

Hi Mary So funny you are down to my final choices! Which one is far right? Edgecomb? It doesn't look grey there. I like the middle one- it has more warmth. :) I am so glad we are done!! It's a hard decision!

Thanks Parker.... I had Edgecomb Gray color matched at SW....does look different than my samplize. I really don't think it was a color match...the girl said she already had the name in the computer with the formula....so who knows!

I like the Edgecomb looks great with the carpet and the lamp shades…2nd choice is AB full strength

I agree with Julie.

Choosing paint color is the hardest! Not seeing it in the room, only on my screen I vote for the Edgecomb Gray. That being said, I agree, you need to go with you gut - you’ve made great final decisions so far!
