Paint Help - SW Agreeable Gray vs SW Anew Gray
Comments (52)I have anew gray currently in my bedroom on the walls and alabaster on the trim. I think it would be beautiful to have the trim and perhaps the door also sw anew gray and the walls alabaster. Another look depending on the height of your ceilings, you could paint the ceiling anew gray with alabaster walls....See Morerepose gray or agreeable gray?
Comments (113)sorry for the delay everyone, we ended up going with Mindful gray. the others looked too light. this is artificial lighting after just painting it. will post a picture when everything is back in its place and during daylight! :)...See MoreLooking for SW lighter warm gray for North Facing/Lake view reflection
Comments (3)I agree with the above post. Agreeable Gray is very light and is a warm color. Goes good with ivory and creams. All grays have some undertone--it might not appear that way when the color is by itself, but next to other grays, they either look more green/yellow, blue, purple, orange, or beige. AG happens to be beige. I've used Repose Gray, Mindful Gray, and Dorian Gray for my basement and foyer. Recently used Agreeable Gray for a bedroom and I love it. Much lighter and warmer gray....See MoreIs there a PPG color that is very similar to SW Repose Grey?
Comments (19)How do I know how it will look on the wall as far as what the color it portrays? Is there a value for that? Excellent question. The hue/value/chroma color notation is a fact. That's why it's called factual color. It's derived from following a set of standards to measure the color. It's repeatable. You and I could both follow the same process and measure a swatch of the same color in different locations and get very similar results. How a color actually looks in a space is actual color. Everyone guesses about how a paint color is going to show up in a specific space. There's no such thing as fool proof paint colors. Which is why everyone has to follow some kind of a process to test color in context of the space, inherent lighting, and contents of the room We can use use factual color notations - hue/value/chroma/LRV - as a framework to anticipate how it will actually show up in a space. For example, we use the notations to make sure the paint color relates to some important element. Like a rug or even the floor. Because if there's a level of relationship between the paint color and one or more elements, then odds are excellent the paint color is going to be perfect. We also use each channel of hue, value and chroma to find paint colors with specific characteristics. For example, based on your comment that you're looking for a color similar to Swirling Smoke only lighter I'd suggest you take a look at: Silent Smoke PPG1025-2 Dogwood Blossom PPG14-24 Paraffin PPG-14.31 I don't want to say "undertones" because from what I read that word is overused and cringey. Is that hue? The problem with "undertones" is everyone is making it up as they go. Undertones are just someone's subjective opinion about what a color actually looks like - according to their color acuity - in whatever context and light source they happen to be lookin' at it. Which is why you'll find dramatically different opinions on the internet about what a paint color actually looks like. Whereas hue family is, as mentioned, a factual, measurable attribute of color....See Moremegs1030
