Painting whole house one neutral color? BM Dove Wing
Comments (8)I like White Dove. And I was going to do that, but I did a small sample on the wall. And it looks like the same color as the primer. So, I decided to go with Dove Wing, which is light but doesn’t look white. Looks like a very very light beige. And I chose Super White for trim because I wanted a true white and it is bright but I figure it will probably fade anyway. I didn’t want any white that looks dirty for my trim. When I tried White Dove, it actually looks like a great color for trims, which I wouldn’t think so from the color chip - it looks like a super beigey white to me on the chip. But looks like a white on the wall. I might have went with White Dove if I didn’t already started my trim color....See MoreColor similar but lighter than BM Pashmina AF-100?
Comments (59)I am sorry to hear that you are not in love with the color you choose. I happen to have Pashmina in my very large entry that runs the length of my home and I have been happy with it for a nearly a decade, it really seems to have lush softness to it, almost like real pashmina. I have never felt it was "muddy" as some people say. My adjacent living room and dining room are BM Frappe which has a creamy warmth to it, but with a new floor in the entry coming in a few weeks, I have decided to change it up and was also looking for a bit lighter than Pashmina. I have a delivery from Samplize arriving tomorrow with some color options, many based on this dialog so I am happy to share my thoughts with you in comparison to Pashmina if you are still thinking along those lines. I know it's a bit 'over-done' but I have Revere Pewter in two guest rooms and my toilet closet which are all varying sides of the house and levels of light and honestly, the color really does work well anywhere and like Pashmina, it tends to give off a soft glow. I know it would be fabulous in my LR/DR, it seems to be a magical neutral, but I feel I want to change it up and inflict some self torture on myself ; ) Another yummy BM that really works for me is Mascarpone. I have it in my laundry room and am going to have my wood cabinets re-done in this as well, as my dark herringbone floor will also extend into the laundry. We did build a little getaway and I did the entire home BM White Dove which is a crisp white but just seems to lack in the "feel good" factor of Mascarpone. Sorry, this probably is not helpful information, especially if you have moved to exteriors... not sure if you are thinking light or dark but I recently was looking at darker colors for exteriors and I have to say, BM Dragon's Breath is way stunning as is FW Mole's Breath....See MoreBM Aura Sea Salt lightened or complimentary lighter colors?
Comments (34)Your problem starts with selecting a blue gray white and a taupe. Look at the bottom row where I lightened Sea Salt. . . As taupe is lightened they go more beige Here are some of the selections you have tried and Pale Oak, which may work for you. You didn't specify what you didn't like about classic gray, but I am guessing it felt a bit flat. Etiquette is light enough that it really turns pink beige. Tough color to work with. Pale Oak is lighter than Sea Salt and grayer than Sea Salt, but is not so light that it goes beige. It has been known to go pink or purple if it is paired with yellows, but you only have blue and purple undertones, so I think you may be okay. An option that I didn't see anyone else suggest is sticking with Pure White. If it is glossy or satin on your trim and cabinets you could do an eggshell or flat on the walls and it will appear to be darker than the trim and cabinets. Another option is to pick either blue gray or taupe and change one of the two colors you have already selected....See MorePaint: a color less yellow than Wind's Breath (and a bit lighter)
Comments (23)We were stuck on colors too, and trying to pick colors in my ocean/Florida home to go in my mountain/Colorado home was impossible. Test the colors in the room, with the light you'll use. I had an opposite situation -- I was afraid the 3000K LED lights would be too cold and stark with the gray I chose, so struggled to find a true gray that didn't turn beige. All this to say, look at it in place, with the temperature lights you'll be using. Your yellow tones might be pleasant with 3500K lighting....See MoreNikki LA
