Help with Paint color

12 years ago
We have just purchased this furnished townhouse in Florida. We plan to paint and refurnish but not remodel. I am not crazy about the granite, cabinets or paint color. I need help selecting a paint that won't feel so "GOLD" so nothing with yellow undertones. The floor plan is open so I will use the same color throughout. I want a light color and would love something light and in the gray family but am scared gray is too opposite the granite and cabinets. Suggestions please.

    Some kind of Gray Blue would be great, especially since it is the opposite!

    @Aggie I love that color but it scares me for the entire house.

    these aren't your things right ? Are you putting down a rug ? What color is the floor?

    No these are not my things. The floor is beige tile. You can see a glimpse in the second picture. I am considering a sectional sofa but open to suggestions for furniture in that room as well. I need to pick the color by Friday. The painter is ready to go and I am 6 hours away.

    a blue/grey would be great and even a metallic finish on one wall?
    or how about grey with white. i think the 3rd pic fits the bill.

    Love yellow and grey together. would look great in lounge.
    Also grey would work really well with your benchtop.

    I agree with Darzy, Revere Pewter, or something in that family.. you can add Margo's paint color, Palladian Blue with the Revere Pewter in another room away from the kitchen. Maybe in a powder room, bathroom or bedroom.

    I hate gray in a kitchen ;))))

    I'd recommend a sofa and two chairs instead of a sectional. A sectional will eat up your space.

    @Margo and others.... I am open to any colors but yellows. Any other suggestions?

    When I am in doubt I always go to revere pewter. It has a depth of color that is tried and true. My experience has been that it looks different in every room, whether you had an open floor plan or older home with many rooms.

    How about the gray in the LR then just paint the kitchen walls "white". A white that is every so slight hint of gray - but looks white.

    I am not very daring. I think I want safe and use color in accessories. It is just paint but it costs several thousand dollars and I don't want to mess up. .I want to spend my money on furnishings.

    I have an old BM paint deck.( 10 years old) The revere pewtwer is HC-172.
    It does not look like the chip posted at all. Do you think it has changed or it is the computer?
    I like it!
  • 12 years ago
    I would not of changed, however I would get a new chip at your local BM dealer, they will also mix up a small sample for you to try on different parts of the room. Here are few others that are similar.

    Best of luck, Gray is the new beige and has so many possibilities. Just be sure to pick a warm gray with your project. Have so much fun and decorate on!

    Your cabinet s are the same color as the wood floors in our newly purchased house. We also wanted to neutralize the yellowish wall color so we went with Sherwin Williams "Modern Grey" Turned out great! In the photo hopefuly you can see how the 2 complment each other. Good luck!

    I wish I could! We have been renovating for 5 months and I hardly have any "after" photos. We ended up painting out our kitchen cabinets to a darker grey so those photos won't really help you - just give you one more reno to consider!! Am currently at our place in Mexico so can't take any new ones but I;ll check my phone camera right now and see if there is anything on there and gt right back to you.

    Looks like a great house, I did not mean grey, but taupe, picking up the brown tones in the Venetian Gold.

    I think a frosted galss door to replace the existing would make the kitchen look larger and up to date, perhaps a nice glass backsplash would be a relatively simple fix\ addition.

    @ Amy there are so many Taupe shades. Do you have a Sherwin Williams suggestion on that?

    Our 'Smoke' is a pale enough grey to pull this off. Let us know if we can help you get the right tile. A few samples may help.
