painting wainscoting?

5 years ago

I am getting wainscoting done through out the house and do not know what colour to paint both the wainscoting and walls. I wanted to go with a light grey but they all have a hint of blue which I did not want.

Any colour suggestions from the Benjamin Moore collection? For both eve wainscotting and the walls.

Stick traditional white. Your home is very beautiful and not of the sort to cheapen up with the latest color fads.

Thanks for your reply. Would you suggest I paint the walls white and the wainscoting? Or a different colour on the walls?

White for the wainscoting and a very soft shade of a color you really love for the walls.
