"a warm gray with a hint of beige" isn't sufficient. may I please have the exact color and brand of paint?

@maryjane54. just an fyi.... it's stated pretty clearly here that designers are not obliged to answer questions. someone else probably paid money for the design consultation and more hours of work to create that custom mix, so, it is likely out of respect for that client that the custom mix is not being divulged. the designer already went the extra mile by giving us direction with "pale oak" and even apologized for not giving the formula. that's pretty good for free i'd say. also, the photo stands on it's own as a recommendation for the designer's work. you would want to speak with their clients for references/recommendations -- not judge someone based on being given a free paint formula. hope that helps put things in a better light for you.

Looks similiar to "Pale Oak" by Benjamin Moore.

Hi Ktobias, Thanks for your interest. Funny you should mention pale oak. It's one of my favorite colors, and we started by looking pale oak for the walls of this room. However we ended up going with something much lighter...yet still in that same family of colors.
All the best,

Hi,

If possible I would also like to know the exact custom mix you used. It's such a perfect gray blue! Thanks.

Really??? What is the point of "asking"if everything is a secret. don't bother posting a picture if they won't give the simple answer of a paint colour. How could anyone give a recommendation on a designer or architect if they can't be a bit helpful to a potential client. it' s not like they have an exclusive on a paint colour.

It's a paint color, not the cure for cancer

why not compromise and give the colors in the mix but not the ratio…seems simple enough.

It's a moot point anyway, because the color will always look different in a different room with different lighting in a different part of the country. I understand the frustration of wanting to capture the same beautiful look, but we viewers can't expect to glean the secrets to the perfect beautiful house here. Just be grateful for all the ideas, I say.
