Undertones

8 years ago

I had a Benjamin Moore color consultant come out and he recommended silver chain also known as harbor grey. I look at this picture I see tones of greenish bluish. Are there strong undertones? I have a warm grey flooring and it looked like it was truly grey when he put it next to the flooring samples I had. I know opposites attract and makes the colors stronger but is this a paint color that can be a little wishy washy when paired with the wrong textiles?

Thank you for your inquiry! This color does have undertones of blue and green, however they are every faint. Photos are definitely hard to refer to when choosing a color. This photo is edited as well as having a blueish light cast onto the walls. When choosing a paint color, make sure to look at it in different lighting in order to know whether its the best color for you and that specific room.

Hope this helps, and best of luck on your project!
