Paint color

9 years ago

I have a large great room with a lot of dark woods, vaulted ceilings, wood beams, and dark wood floor. I want a paint color that doesn't pull so much beige. Any suggestions. I love grays but I'm not sure that will work in this room. Suggestions, please.

Unfortunately your pictures did not load - this seems to be a problem on this site today.

Here is an article about "grays" that go with wood trim. Most of these are really a blue or green with a gray undertone because real true cool grays don't really go well with warm woods - neither brings out the best in the other.

We used Sherwin Williams Worldly Gray, which is a color match to BM Revere Pewter when we repainted our LR/DR. It works with our cherry furniture and oak floors.
