Another Light Gray Paint Dilemma!

10 years ago

I'm looking to paint my kitchen a light grey. I'm looking for more of a cooler grey. The paint samples seem too blue, green, white. I've tried all BM Pelican Gray, Sidewalk Gray, no luck. Any used Stone White? any other suggestions. Light coming in from north, rather dark room.

Why gray there are millions of colors why not think of something else like a really pale yellow

Thank you Patricia! I will never understand why every surface in a house must be gray. It gets so boring and often is just so dull and lifeless.

i think a 'cool' grey actually means blue... right?

and yes, buy yourself a BM fandeck if you havent. there are billions (amost!) of colors you'll find the right grey or maybe be gobsmacked by an actual color.

BM Paperdoll, looks white but a hint of grey. It's calming and warm but no green, yellow, or blue.

"Rather dark room " & you want to paint it a cooler shade of gray??? Agree with Patricia, besides, I'm sick of seeing gray everywhere... was @ a Halloween party last night, entire house was GRAY!
