Need help with kitchen wall color

9 years ago

We recently had our kitchen cabinets painted and are looking for a new wall color. The current color is SW Mindful Gray, trying to pull out the colors from the granite and curtains. Due to lighting, it appears gray on some walls and green on others. We tried SW Kilim Beige and it is too similar to the cabinet color. We went a shade darker to Nomadic Dessert and it has too much gold in it. Trying to avoid green undertones. HELP.

Mindful Gray currently on walls

Lighting at different times of the day makes the 2 walls appear to be different colors when they are the same.

Sample of fabric of curtains.

I love your kitchen. It looks great. Before you invest in repainting, try changing the light bulbs. The ones you have are showing as Warm White. Try Daylight instead.

I would just do an eggshell white if you really want to change it. Or a whiter version of the beige you have

Off white? I love the current color so much that I wouldn't change it. It makes the kitchen feel current with the cool mixed with warm.

Thanks for the tip, Katharine. My son actually suggested the same thing.

I agree with changing the lighting, however if you want to warm up the space and match the counter tops and fabric - a greige rather than a gray would help a lot! Sherwin Williams "Perfect Greige" is a good example! Whatever you choose, definitely check swatches on every wall to see how the light hits them in those areas. Good luck!!

Thanks for the suggestion. You have NO idea how many samples we have but Perfect Greige is not one of them. I'll grab a few swatches.
