Revere Pewter walls....what color ceiling
Comments (10)I had, and have, no pink anywhere, either. The colors in that library were all greens and terracottas and sisal and medium and dark toned woods...so the important thing was to keep it very peachy. The effect was to warm the neutrality of the gray. If you were to choose a blue, you might find the effect colder than you like. If you wanted to stay with the warm idea, but are a little put off by the pink idea, there's also a nice color adjacent to Melon Tint called French Vanilla (SW 7118) that is a little yellower, but still peachy. Whatever you decide, try to make sure you are choosing a tone that is light reflective rather than light absorbing...and be sure to look at your sample board -- you will make a sample board, won't you... :>) -- in the plane in which it will live...that is, stuck to the ceiling beside the trim. You want to avoid what my DH calls the V.A. Hospital effect, when a soft neutral appears in an unhelpful light condition. End of lecture!...See MoreBM Revere Pewter is looking blue- is it just me?
Comments (35)This happened to me too! Painted poster boards and moved them around the room to make sure I loved the color before painting the entire living/dining room. I did everything I was supposed to, and after two coats it was BABY BLUE!!! I was so upset. But then I held up the paint chip white dove (OC-17) to our trim, and our trim was YELLOW!!! I'd bet your trim isn't white, but rather a yellow or darker cream. Here's a pic. Same color, revere pewter, different trim. The trim on the right is white dove. The trim on the left is old, yellowed oil based trim of unknown name....See MorePaint help needed!! Anew Gray or Revere Pewter?
Comments (16)Just recently did my main walls of house with Revere Pewter. I love it and so does everyone that comes over. The back of my house where most the windows are is west facing also. Only place it didn’t work was near kitchen and it threw green undertone and I used Edgecomb Gray there instead which is next to the Revere Pewter and it’s super neutral....See MorePaint Revere Pewter and ?
Comments (9)IMO your bedroom should have decor and colors decided from your bedding and it does not have to flow with the rest of the house as it is a private space. More important the master bathroom and bedroom need to work together.I like matte finish on walls and ceilings with asatin or semi gloss trim finish either in the same color or white.I don’t love Revere Pewter with your choices I think it will just become a sea of blah that goes together but nothing interesting. I actually find a soft grayed green a much more neutral color and it gives a space a bit of life so something like the upper left colr would be my choice...See Morevinnie56
