The lighter grey paint?

11 years ago

Desperately looking for a main color to accompany my two silhouette accent walls in a 500 sq ft, high ceiling artist studio (turned sexy master bedroom). Color needs to be rich enough to pop/contrast silhouette and subtle enough to cover 3 other walls and ceiling between white beams.

The grey colour used in this room next to silhouette is 2111-50 Benjamin Moore. You could also try AF-670 and AF-685 from Benjamin Moore also. All the best!

does the light gray wall have a blue undertone?? Would you suggest using a gray with blue undertone for a family room??

There is no blue undertone in the light gray. You should use a color that you love...if you want to use gray with blue undertone, here are some options: Benjamin Moore HC-169, HC-170, 2121-30, 2121-20.
