Need help choosing a SW Paint wall color please. See Floor and stone

8 years ago

Need help with a Sherwin Williams wall color for the main part of the house. Here's a pic of the stone were putting on a feature wall in family room, and flooring for our home were remodeling. We live in SW Florida and we're going for the transitional or more coastal look. I'd like a more neutral but not too gray/cool or drab wall color. Need suggestions for trim too. Wondering if I should go to more ivory colors for the wall such as moderate white, rather than toward greige such as accessible gray? (as seen in the paint sample above the stone and floor.) thanks in advance for your suggestions

We used SW Shitake which plays well with both grays and browns and is a warmer neutral.

Great start, love your choices! Try SW Accessible Beige for the walls and Alabaster for the trim. It's warm, clean and neutral without being boring. I have very similar warm colors (like your floor and stone) and love it my home You can add dark gray accents.

Hi, Michelle. Going to try & post a photo for the first time. I have lots of light but hopefully, you can see the wall color. Good luck.

Happy labor day lane. I love the color and your decor. I like that crushed ice really seems to pick up on both gray and beige which is what I was looking for. Thanks so much for the pics, it was helpful!

Hi Carolyn, WE Shitake is really pretty. I don't see much gray in the small sample , mostly beige. Is that accurate?

We found that the Shitake really changed tone depending upon what it was surrounded by. I would suggest painting a large sample board and moving from place to place in your light and against your other materials. I found choosing paint colors the hardest part of building our home. You have to have a large sample and take to the actual place you want to paint it to see the light because it changes depending on where you are.

Choose the soft grayed green from the stone and IMO no beige

Hi Patricia, thank you for that. I looked at SW Crushed Ice for the wall as opposed to agreeable gray. my daughter sees a slight green cast to crushed ice. Does it fit the bill you think? Michelle

FYI Sherwin Williams will tint their paint to other manufacturers colors. I get my SW paint tinted to BM colors all the time

We used SW Sensible Hue on our island which is a gray with a green cast to it. Looks a lot lighter on our island than what I am seeing on the SW website.
