Building a home with a similar color scheme - can’t find the colors used here anywhere , but absolutely love them. The white seems warmer than white dove , and the shutters are close to sw pediment maybe ? Any other suggestions ? Whites are SO hard

I used shoji on one of my previous home‘s exteriors, and it was very peachy. but i used it in my current home’s foyer and formal dining room, and in my foyer i adore it, but in my dining room i cannot stand it where it once again went peach on me. i think the windows to the floor give too much sun & turn it peach, and maybe that’s why it was peach on my other home that didn’t have a lot of old growth around it.

2 other colors you could try are

SW oyster white

SW natural choice

once you pick your brick color, just go one shade darker for your shutters to get that look.

SW heron plume walls and SW worldy gray doors, cabs and trim give that look you’re going for in my powder room and keeping room. but the colors have a little bit more taupe undertones than the pic you posted. your colors are taupey beige. not totally taupe and not totally cream/yellowey either and not totally peachy beige either. i’d say your pic is beigey taupe.

wool skein may work for shutters too. i see a hint of green in the shutters

just in case younwant taupe

SW heron plume walls

and SW worldly gray doors, cabs, & trim

Same SW heron plume and wordly gray

You will need to test a whole bunch of whites on your own home. All the whites I show below will look the same in some lighting conditions and like completely different colors in different light.

When I was building someone in my neighborhood repainted their house. It looked like a nice warm creamy white. I asked for the color and tested it on my new house. It looked like highlighter yellow on my house! Our houses faced different directions and theirs was more shaded with mature landscaping

You have to test on your own house!

Brooke, Karen, or anyone can you help me with DR colors?
Q

Thanks everyone for your great comments! Brooke, glad to hear you and your babies are doing well. At the moment, my dining room is a blank slate. The look I'm shooting for isn't formal, rather a sophisticated cottage style? Floors: Dark brown stained hardwood Windows/doors: 1 small window, 10-foot long French sliding doors to the deck, 9 foot archway between kitchen and DR. Lots of sunlight. Trim: Black! Well, at least on the French doors. I've been dying to do black trim in one room! Walls: I'm thinking something neutral like the tan in the striped ottoman above. That picture has been my overall design inspiration. Window treatment: Undecided, need something for just that small window. Furniture: For the moment, I'll be using the Ethan Allen pedestal table that used to be in the eat-in area of our kitchen. I love it, but it only has one leaf, and I'm hoping to find a big round table that will seat 8. I'll keep the 4 E.A. chairs and re-upholster them with a blue patterned fabric or slip-cover them. I like comfy chairs that encourage people to linger at the table. I also like when all the chairs don't match. If I end up having a square table instead, I might even do an upholstered bench on one side. Thanks so much for helping me! BTW, the toekick the KD has been calling "flush" does look a lot like sandy's. Or maybe I'm confused on the terminology. Erika

How close does paint color have to match granite
Q
Comments (16)
Functionfirst, every color is intensified when near its complementary color. Since green is the complement of red, it makes things look redder. That's why the pink tones will be heightened by the contrast with green walls. So even if you choose a very neutral color, you'd want one that has no greenish undertone, if your goal is to minimize the pinkness. The most important thing is the light in the room. Does it face west? The golden western light may dominate all these effects. If it faces north, colder light and lots of shadow will make the colors look very different. How much of the room will be painted -- would you have the greenish color bouncing off all four walls? I have to agree that it's very hard to choose paint when you're not in the room. The wood for the cabinets, a granite sample, and the paint sample need to be there together. If it were me I would not make the choice now, but not everyone is as obsessed as I am about getting colors right.

Can anyone tell me what color paint this might be?

It looks like the wall over the door is a different shade; possibly that's the only glazed part because it looks dirty compared to the nice fresh look elsewhere in the room. Pro tip: When installing a fan that high it's okay to skip a short pull chain. :)

- Behr BL-W10 Maui Mist appears to similar to the brick color.
- A Behr Coordinated palette for Maui Mist includes Behr N530-1 Pixel White which closely matches the color of the shutters.
If you compare Maui Mist (top) with Behr Ultra Pure White, you see that Maui Mist is notably "bluer" than what is the purest white paint available.

It's super photoshopped, so unless you are going to have a filter in front of your eyes every time you look at it, forget what the "real" colors are that are used here. Every color that you will pick will never give you that same effect visually, even if you go much lighter than they chose. You need to throw this is the trash, and pick colors that look good on your home, in your lighting, with your landscape around it.

And that color isn't really "white", it looks like a very light taupe.
