Paint Remodeling Exterior

Gray trim to go with SW alabaster body and SW urbane bronze

5 years ago

last modified: 5 years ago

I painted the exterior of my house SW Alabaster body, with fascia+soffit and garage door SW Urbane Bronze.

For trim we picked SW Worldly Gray but after it was painted I was not pleased. The color showed some pinkish undertones under certain lighting that my husband and I just cant get through, which may not be too visible in this photo but are under direct sunlight.

Any suggestion on a good light gray that we could use for trim, that would go with Alabaster body and Urbane Bronze accents? I would like to stay within the same level of lightness, not too much darker.

thanks!

Intellectual Gray, Analytical Gray, Sandy Hook Gray, each move increasingly, very slightly more clockwise ⏰ on the Color Wheel, away from the Yellow-Red Hue Family in comparison to Worldly Gray.

They are also slightly darker and more colourful than Worldly Gray. Large chips or a sample board will help you decide how far away from Worldly is ‘enough’ to mitigate any sense of ‘pinkness’.

To the original poster- what trim did you finally settle on? I am having the same dilemma!
