Living Room Design Dilemma Paint

BM Classic Gray

8 years ago

Thoughts on/ experiences with this paint color? I’m thinking of using it primarily in a 2-story west facing room, so lots of afternoon sun. I like it because it’s a warmer, light neutral, but perhaps too light? Trying to transform our darker brown rooms into something light and airy but don’t want to go overboard. Thanks!

There is no way for us to tell you if a color works in your space get samples make sample boards move them around in differnt lights both daytime and night that is how you decide.

Western sun - I have liked art, etc. that seem to 'flatter' the cooler colors. Idea for BM Bunny Grey... Beacon Grey they recommend trying with Deep Mulberry - good part of their website - https://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/color-overview/find-your-color/color/2128-60/beacon-gray?utm_medium=display&utm_source=houzz&utm_content=us_colorpicker&utm_campaign=2016National&color=2128-60

Sort of fun for me to play ideas - for light and airy, the 'base' of room could be a deeper gem tone, or neutral / light paint and bedding.... picking skirt for flowers in your art. Nice for a bedroom.
