Need help design on a paint

12 years ago

Which light gray paint colors here works best for living room that's not so bright and is using recessed LED lightings? I don't want a color that will look too dark or different at night time. Thanks for all the tips.

Revere Pewter is more of a greige and will have a warmer undertone. Benjamin Moore Gray Owl is lighter and more of an earthy gray. If you're not sure, pick up a couple of pint samples and put them on the walls to see how they will look in your space and lighting. Do a large sample of each (at least 4 feet apart between colours) and look at it in the daylight as well as at night when you turn on the lights.

Can I add cliff side grey (bm). We just painted our entire living/dining and I LOVE IT!! It's not too dark but great color next to a white trim
