Cindy Lewis I used a similar gray in a bathroom and sitting room Benjamin Moore Thundercloud Gray #2124-40 it is not too blue. Gray is very difficult to get right. I used my Persian cat to match paint chips.
Baldridge Architects The Persian cat strategy is one of the coolest things I have ever read. I am supposing this will work less well with a German Shorthair.
Cindy Lewis Actually the lady at the Benjamin Moore store was not surprised when I told her my cat was the color I was trying to match- she said people bring thier pets in all the time to match colors. Pets and things from nature like leaves and stuff. I live next door to a German Shorthair, he has beautiful brown spots, I imagine that color would be nice somewhere too.
