Okay, people, gray is winning! After 18 samples of gray paint, we thought we'd found
The One in Stonington Gray by Benjamin Moore. It's in there somewhere....
The couch is gray so I wanted a warm gray to compliment it, but everything was coming out blue. We put up Stonington Gray, eager to make a decision before our holiday party. Turns out, it's ALSO blue......arrrgggg!
Perhaps hard to see here, but it makes the room look sad and blue. So we went back to our other top 2 choices, Revere Pewter and Edgecomb Gray by Benjamin Moore. We had previously put those samples on the wall and rejected them but we put 'em up again, against the blue, to see what we thought now. You can see the Revere Pewter here....
The Edgecomb Gray, to the right of Revere Pewter, barely registers. Much too white. Compared to the Stonington Gray on the walls, the Revere Pewter is a much warmer, taupe-y gray. We bought a gallon. Stay tuned, nerds.

Have you tried Sea Salt by Shermin Williams? Lovely gray. Good luck. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the revere pewter. it's perfect. AND I love the couch! you haven't posted about it yet. beautiful. well played.
ReplyDeletei want to know which gray you chose.....we are doing a gray room now and i am thinking of cumulous cloud.....but am intrigued with how you loved stonignton gray.....
ReplyDeleteI am sure you have sorted this all out by now but I have found that the most neutral (neither blue nor green) rich looking grey is Abelone, also by BM.
ReplyDeleteReally curious what your final choice was!
ReplyDeleteWe went with Revere Pewter and love it!
ReplyDeleteYay! I was looking around, paint photo surfing, and found this post, the indecision of which is so validating. Thank you. ;p I was going to ask which one you went with and recommend Revere Pewter but see that you went with it! Isn't it the dreamiest, most perfect warm gray?! I love it so much. Gray (and paint in general) is so confusing.
