I think it's called Sterling. It's soo neutral and a true gray instead of it going blue-ish! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/good-color-for-walls#post-2455243 Tue, 09 Feb 2016 12:57:45 +0000 Alba4 2455243@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were debating between cedar key and revere pewter.

Hubby is painting this weekend while the girls are away!! :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/good-color-for-walls#post-2388562 Mon, 14 Dec 2015 21:59:11 +0000 Littlebit7 2388562@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: look at Benjamin Moore edgecomb gray. It reads warmer than the cooler grays. We have it in several rooms and oak-ish floors. It really place nicely with everything in all rooms and really changes depending one how much light a room gets. It's lovely. My mom has it in a few rooms in her house with oak trim and it looks great. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/good-color-for-walls#post-2388523 Mon, 14 Dec 2015 21:26:45 +0000 lemondrop 2388523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours looks similar to @Mrs D: We love it! With white trim I can do pretty much anything the mood strikes just by changing accessories. </p> <p>I prefer warmer colors, I know it's super popular right now, but I'm not a fan of gray for our house. We have a cooler tan in one bedroom, and it really makes the room look different. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/good-color-for-walls#post-2388252 Mon, 14 Dec 2015 17:18:23 +0000 cascademom 2388252@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MaryM: I love the accessible beige in our house. The previous owners used Benjamin Moore Cedar Key for their beige room attempts. While it looks good, it didn't have the depth that Accessible Beige has. We left one room in Cedar Key. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/good-color-for-walls#post-2388227 Mon, 14 Dec 2015 17:05:10 +0000 BadgerMom 2388227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I second @josina: with Revere Pewter. It's a wonderful neutral gray. And if you think it's too dark or are looking for a color to go with it, it's also great mixed at 50%.</p> <p>I find any light gray that actually looks light gray on the chip is usually wayyy to cool and ends up looking baby blue on the walls. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/good-color-for-walls#post-2388216 Mon, 14 Dec 2015 16:53:53 +0000 fancyfunction 2388216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another vote for light grey. We went with Alaskan Husky by Benjamin Moore in the living and dining rooms and I love it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/good-color-for-walls#post-2388182 Mon, 14 Dec 2015 16:31:16 +0000 josina 2388182@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: I think the swatch online is way misleading... this pic shows the color better. </p> [attach=4677/15/nzdag4.449x600.850b9afa0ebfc12bdfae06c7cd249fed.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/good-color-for-walls#post-2388154 Mon, 14 Dec 2015 16:19:15 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2388154@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>BM White Oak it's a very light gray.</p> <p>Here it contrasting against white molding. </p> [attach=3033/15/nzda2u.337x600.1450128100212-1762636337.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/good-color-for-walls#post-2388150 Mon, 14 Dec 2015 16:18:23 +0000 Greentea 2388150@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't personally ever go gray, I'm not sure it is an auspicious color.</p> <p>I prefer light, positive colors if not white. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/good-color-for-walls#post-2388149 Mon, 14 Dec 2015 16:17:17 +0000 MaryM 2388149@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did accessible beige in our house when we staged. It was nice. Not exciting, but nice. In some rooms it looked more gray than beige though.</p> <p>ETA: Since you mention selling, accessible beige is what the stagers recommended to us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/good-color-for-walls#post-2388113 Mon, 14 Dec 2015 16:00:13 +0000 MyBelle 2388113@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love SW Canvas Tan. We have that in our family room with black wood furniture and yellow, white and gray accents and it all works really well together. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/good-color-for-walls#post-2388063 Mon, 14 Dec 2015 15:37:29 +0000 cascademom 2388063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>SW Accessible Beige. We painted our new house in it except for bedrooms. With the grey/gray, please don't. The previous owners painted our house with everything in grey down to the doors and trims. They took wide bright spaces and made them look small and cramped. Even they noticed the error of it and repainted a couple of rooms in beige to increase traffic to sell it. The other house we considered in the same subdivision painted everything in crisp white. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/good-color-for-walls#post-2388055 Mon, 14 Dec 2015 15:34:35 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2388055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs D: most of our walls are similar to this color. I don't know the name since the builders did it but we get compliments on it a lot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/good-color-for-walls#post-2388035 Mon, 14 Dec 2015 15:21:28 +0000 Mrs D 2388035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sand Motiff - Benjamin Moore...was our all over color in our old home and such a nice warm tone! </p> [attach=2617/15/nzd77s.600x450.Foyer-2.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/good-color-for-walls#post-2388030 Mon, 14 Dec 2015 15:19:05 +0000 rattles 2388030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@josina: @mediagirl: our common spaces are BM revere pewter too. It shifts colors a lot, which I love. It reads more grey in some rooms and more tan in others, and if you look at rooms online, it looks totally different. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/good-color-for-walls#post-2388024 Mon, 14 Dec 2015 15:15:28 +0000 chopsuey 2388024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: more than half of our interior is painted SW repose gray.

You can always get a small sample mixed and try it by the oak cabinets. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/good-color-for-walls#post-2388015 Mon, 14 Dec 2015 15:12:30 +0000 mediagirl 2388015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LuLu Mom: i wonder that, too. We have oak cabinets in the ktichen so that worries me and the kitchen rolls into the family room so we have to do the same color in both. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/good-color-for-walls#post-2388011 Mon, 14 Dec 2015 15:11:51 +0000 mediagirl 2388011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@josina: that's gray?

What I run into is we have oak trim (not a fan) but I wonder if it will look okay with the gray everywhere. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/good-color-for-walls#post-2388003 Mon, 14 Dec 2015 15:09:53 +0000 snowjewelz 2388003@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love our light gray!

I need a good, neutral color that will be good for resale when we decide to do that but that is slightly nicer than your standard contractor beige (which we have now). We will be painting the kitchen, family room, hallway and stairwell. We also need to paint the loft. Since these are all common rooms, we were thinking of keeping the paint the same for all. Hello, 5 gallon bucket of paint. :)</p> <p>What are your favorite house colors right now? </p>
