What greige to use??

9 years ago

I'm getting ready to paint den, dining, kitchen, foyer - all open area - and need help deciding on a neutral that doesn't have too much blue. The carpet, couch, and fireplace have more beige but I want a little grey. I've looked at versatile gray, worldly gray, amazing gray.
Any suggestions? What about accessible beige or agreeable gray?

Try Farrow and Ball's AMMONITE or CORNFORTH WHITE. Their CLUNCH is a wonderful neutral - you see subtle changes in it as the light varies.

DIMPSE and BLACKENED are also good choices from the same source.

I would try accessible beige. It is a nice neutral greige (more beige than gray, but I think something leaning more warm/beige would work better in your home than a cool gray).

City Loft is as cool as I'd go. I say this because of your floor color and that it is more of an off white. If you must have a more saturated color then Accessible Beige.

Your paint color should be selected to coordinate with the marble fireplace surround.

Accessible Beige might work, but color should be checked in the room. You have tall ceilings, turn that mirror over the FP.

Taller chairs at the FP would improve the room appearance.

Perfect Greige lightened to 75% or possibly 50% might work for you.

I have accessible beige throughout most of my house. I lightened it for some rooms. I love it. It's a nice greige. I don't care for grey for myself, because I prefer a little warmer look.

I have just gone through same dilemma. I chose revere pewter but anew gray is very close but tad darker. I think mega greige and perfect greige have a slight purple undertone. I used revere pewter in kitchen but going to go darker in living room. I think Perfect taupe by Behr....

Collonade Gray from SW. It's very similar to Revere Pewter, but does not have the green undertone.
