Hi! Painted my cabinets GRIS by wherein Williams and have black/charcoal and silver speckled granite. What color should I do the pain on my walls?

    I was thinking snowbound but I’m not sure because these swatches look all diff and I can’t keep buying samples 🙈

    That’s the granite and the flooring the the backsplash too (I hate it but too much to redo so leaving that) just need a paint color for eat in area and the area on top of window

    The eat in area is the opposite end of the room. how many walls? pick a neutral off white … a shade from the floor tile. . i would avoid any more gray.

    Any specific shade 😬? Sherwin Williams app said alabaster or eider white?

    Eider white looks like it might work well with your cabinets, countertop, and floor. Getting a sample to see how it will look is always a good idea before committing to painting the whole area.

    Ok thanks! Just don’t want anything too white bec then eat in section will be very blah

    Eider has a lot of grey in it. That combined with gris reminds me of Seattle, grey, grey, grey. Some people love that. Not me. I find it depressing. I'd try alabaster instead for more contrast with the gris cabinets.





    Yes, it costs money to keep sampling paints, but it costs more money to end up with the wrong color. And, it is likely a small percentage of the cost of your paint job.


    Tape your samples high and low on the walls so you can see them nearest to the ceiling light sources and near the floor color as well. Look at them at different times of day too.

    You have enough gray in there, so no more gray. I would paint the walls an actual color. Maybe a light green, or a light blue green. SW Sea salt would be a nice color. Kitchens should be happy places to work, and enjoy, not gray and dismal.
