Need help picking greige paint

5 years ago

Hello! I’m interested in painting my living rooms/ hallways a greige color. However all the paint samples I have brought home are all more cool colors and I’m looking for a warm greige. Currently I have tried out SW Gracious Greige, SW Alpaca and BM Revere Pewter.

If anyone has any suggestions I would greatly appreciate it! Thank you

I was all over the place trying to find the perfect greige. I had to have purchased at least 10 samples...I was so sick of it. Then one day someone mentioned SW Popular Grey. I Googled it, looked at a few pics, went to SW and bought 5 gallons of it...didn't even bother sampling (that's how over it I was lol)

As I was putting it on my walls I was so bummed because it looked much more tan than I wanted. It ended up being the perfect greige! It goes with greys, browns, tans, blacks, blues...any color really. I've had it in two houses now.

I’ve painted my house with SW Accessible Beige and after 6 years I still love it.

BM have great paint consultants and they can help identify shades with a brown undertone. Also be sure you test what you narrowed down to in both rooms.

Why greige at all. If you are looking for a neutral why not try Gray Wisp instead IMO a much more neutral than any taupe, gray or beige.

How on earth can anyone comment without knowing your hard finishes, floors, counters, etc? Post some pics please.

I agree wall color is chosen last because all the other elements in a space affect the wall color.

We are all still guessing since the OP is no where to be found.
