They just started tiling. 3rd pic shows island color better (it’s in laundry room). Cabinets are all white except island. I’ll run back over in a bit and do better pics. I’ve got a herniated disc so have to take breaks.

Are you sure it doesn't just look this way in comparison to the current color? I have Edgecomb Gray (at 100%) in my bedroom and I would never say it looks purple. However, since lighting conditions vary maybe it does look purple in that particular light. If both Alabaster and the lightened Edgecomb Gray look purple it suggests it's the lighting condition.

I recommend you paint a section of wall white and then put your samples on over the white (with a white border) so the current color is not affecting your perception. It's also important to apply two coats of the sample paint as that's how it will be done on the finished wall. You may also have a trim color that isn't playing well with the new colors. Try different trim colors, or if you don't want to paint the trim, back up the bus and choose different wall colors if this appears to be the issue. Since I can't see your floor color or know what color your furniture is, I don't know if you're on the right track with your selections or not. Those are two colors I like, but I don't know if they're right in your space.

Thank you! I do have 2 coats on and it’s just in that stairwell it looked purple well more lavender. There’s one chandelier there but it doesn’t have electricity as it’s being worked on. My friend wanted to use this color and it ran lavender in her house. I’ll run back over and take some more pics. I can always do stairwell different if need be I guess.

whenever you cut a color by percentage, you aren't 'lightening' that color. you are altering it's chemistry. That's why you're seeing a shift in tones.

If you want something lighter, then pick a lighter color.

This is a good way to buy a ticket to the insane asylum. All paint, any color, changes with light. that light is interior and exterior.

Edgecomb is quite a nice warm, soft gray. Lavender ? Has never happened to me. The only REAL test to a color? Roll at least two full walls. Forget your patch concept

Ok great advice Jan. I can get my kids to help me do that. The stairwell just has natural light for the most part and it faces SW.

Pale oak was too pinky for me. I really like Alabaster but would like a little more hint of color. I like edgecomb it’s just almost too dark for me.

South light is lovely and warm. West light is a stronger, often hot light. You need a color which has blue in its mix. B.M.Stonington Gray should show perfectly in your home.

It is the blue that is important for the natural light you are getting.

I will try that Judianna20. I wanted a warmer color but maybe that is my problem with this stairwell.

Yes, you don't want a warm color with all that warm natural light. The other suggestion is S W Site White, if you are a fan of S W.

Grey for walls is over. Where do you live?

Freedomace. I agree gray is over and I live in Birmingham. I just want a warmer off color. Here is our kitchen. No grout yet.

Edgecomb grey is as grey as I would go at this point.. You can adjust the lighting in your house. If a little bit of a purple cast in a stairway is the most of your problems -I would really take that - over a dreary house full of a greyer color..

Can't agree with the "warm light requires cool walls" concept. In my (non-professional) experience it's way more complicated than that. Consider location, use, flooring, furnishings, and most importantly personal preference.

I posted before I saw your comment. The kitchen looks very nice. Go with your first choice. You can always adjust lighting.

I am going to get a sample of winds breath that Beth recommended as it’s close to edgecombe gray 25%. And kind of in between colors. Thank you so much for everyone’s comments. I should have hired someone for this. My sister helped me with everything but she’s not available at the moment.

Floors will be 50 super walnut and 50 Jacobean.

BM Winds Breath on left.

BM White Dove on right.

Trim is BM Chantilly Lace.

I am repainting everything to White Dove because the Winds Breath ended up a bit too dark and yellow. The reason I had picked Winds Breath was because my parents have it all over their house ... where it had no hint of yellow!

Just did a bathroom in SW Pacer White. Interesting color, sometimes griege, sometimes grayish, sometimes a hint of green, sometimes more beige. It all depends on the light but it's always nice. Pick something that always looks nice to you even if it changes color with the light.

Well, in the late afternoon light/early evening SW Alabaster color looked slightly green w/o the sun coming in. Now I am at a loss for what color to use. Maybe Dove White? I don't like Chantilly Lace--too white for my taste.

Chispa- try Simply white instead of white dove. When I repainted I did white dove. It looked so dingy once it was up. I had to repaint and did the Simply White. So much better
