7 years ago

last modified: 7 years ago

Hello! I am painting my master bedroom in BM grey owl and want to do a feature wall color that is adjacent the bed, a wall with the fireplace. I’m thinking of a darker (grey) color and looking for suggestions. Our bedroom is quite bright due to large sliding doors but north facing. Any complimetary paint colors?

A bright northern exposure room can be treated almost like a south light room and you chose a winner with Gray Owl. But, it does have a green undertone, so not any old gray will work.

Try a combo like this: Gray Owl and Nickel

Thank-you so much Judy! I will definitely look into the Nickel.
