10 years ago
Which one? From top to bottom... All Ben Moore. 1. Smokey taupe 2. wheeling neutral 3. Coastal path 4. Bleeker beige

(Cabinets will be white, stainless appliances, counters are dark grey and earth tones) The room it leads into is family room painted in waynesboro taupe which I love and will not change.

    Can you paint the wainsboro taupe so we can see it next to the other colors ? If possible or is it the color already on the wall the samples are on?. Hard to tell that color in photo. Also depends on if you like the color more towards the Gold tone or beige tone ? I just saw this color yesterday thru an entire home call BM Decatur Buff. Beautiful. A designer picked this out for a client. More of a gold tone. In between a gold and a Ivory color. I think I like #2 or # 3. Have you also looked at winds breath. Oc24. That is really a nice color also. Looks like it would pick up the lighter color in your rug

    without seeing the rest of the kitchen, my initial thought is that #1 would not be enough contrast with white cabinets. and #3 seems a little too orange-y for a white/grey kitchen

    I don’t like any of them I think they need to have more gray to go with the granite.

    I have seen the winds breath with the white cabinets so please look at that also. Really really a nice color. It was on a front cover of a magazine a decorator chose. I talked to her also. Looking forward to what you pick

    Ok new colors added on horizontal (left to right) winds breath, London fog, big and beige

    Looking to compliment everything with something greyish but I want it to be a bit warmer than current wall color (Himalayan trek)

    And the winner is....smokey taupe. It's halfway between tan and gray and is dark enough to provide good contrast with molding and cabinets but light enough to brighten the room and nicely compliment the color in the living room. I think it will be beautiful! Thanks for everyone's feedback!

    Good pick, Jillian! Carly: I hope you post pictures when you're done painting. It's always fun to see the end results.

    I would chose the Smokey Taupe out of all the colors you have paint swatches of. If you are still undecided, try one color lighter than the Waynesboro Taupe, I think it might have a little more of the gray in it that you would like.

    Haha I currently have the kitchen walls two shades lighter than the waynesboro (Himalayan trek) and at some points in the day the kitchen and living room look like they are the same color. Plus the color reads grayer and colder than I like. The color 3 shades lighter than waynesboro is London fog and is the color in the middle going across the top. I think it's too cold a color.

    Carly , how far off is the winds breath to the smokey taupe. They look like they could be in the same color family. I'm just curious, for future painting projects . I love color and seeing what they all look like on the walls etc. when you get everything done please post for us. Have fun, and good luck on your project

    I will post pics!

    Oh the winds breath is very light- much lighter than the smokey taupe so I'd worry about not as much contrast with molding as I like and showing little hand prints from my kids! The color is extremely similar to one called edgecomb gray which I have in other parts of the house. For me it's just too light.

    Also BM has washable wall paint . They have so many different paint finish . I like flat where there are a lot of windows/ light. I looked into a lot of the paint sheens and was supprised by the washable wall paints besides the eggshell .
