Needing color match ideas

last year

I can’t tell if this picture is AI or a designer. I’d love to give credit where it’s due. In the interim - I am trying to figure out how to color match the walls. Any help would be appreciated!

    The walls in the picture are not an exact gray match to the washer and dryer stack.

    You like the whole look, and you don't need the exact "gray" to achieve it.

    I need to know what you are trying to do. Just the actual amterial color will lok different even when color matched for instance the W/D is steel not ever going to be perfectly matched to wood or wall paint . I had towels I had color matched for a bedroom pretty darn close but 2 different materials. If this is a must take the pic to the paint store and get a color match to some part you love . None of those grays match eachother in the pic

    I’m trying to match the walls and cupboard color. Or get as close as possible.

    The walls in the picture are lighter gray than the cabinet below it. I would get some paint samples, and find one you like, and get the wall paint and then the cabinet paint in the same exact paint color, except different finishes.

    I would guess it is closer to Urbane Bronze than peppercorn... it doen't look blue to me.

    Dark battleship gray ... drab and depressing!

    It's AI. But it's lovely that you wanted to cite the source.


    I own one of the only color labs in the Southwest United States. I work with and/or hire some of the best, most experienced color scientists in the world. Since AI has gained traction, we regularly field questions about how to toggle from AI to paint colors and vice versa.


    What we know for sure is color in an AI image has the same problems as any digitized color online. So, from one of the busiest color labs in the country, I'm saying the best anyone can do with an AI image is use an eyedropper tool and know that it is by no means a great answer.


    AI is evolving at breakneck speed and that's a super boring answer, I know. 😆


    The color answers trying to translate color from AI in the sRGB color space (and vice versa) are literally a shot in the dark. Might work, might not but these *might* be a place to start.

    You are taking a color out of the context of its setting. The setting is the contrasting warm wood, the washer/ dryer, the rugs on the floor. Go to a S.W paint store. By the way? I've never seen a "blue" peppercorn "....They're green on black. : ) where I live and that is a dark and warm gray on my monitor as is Peppercorn.

    Either way....your setting and the room in which you use the color is different than your inspo, as is the natural and artificial light.

    The word is test.
