Here's what we used :</p> <p>SW Rainwashed (6211) - 2 Story Foyer &amp; Upstairs Hallway<br /> SW Dockside Blue (7601) - Living Room / Kichen<br /> SW Lazy Gray (6254) - Dining Room<br /> *These three rooms all sort of flow into each other</p> <p>SW Tradwind (6218) - Master Bedroom<br /> SW Silver Strand (7057) - Master Bathroom</p> <p>SW Interesting Aqua (6220) - Upstairs Guest Room 1<br /> SW Delft (9134) - Bonus/Media Room</p> <p>My office is also a SW Grey color, I just can't remember which one! </p> <p>The only room that didn't get painted was our 2nd guest room upstairs, because it's getting ready to be made into a nursery. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-paint-color-suggestions#post-2719311 Mon, 03 Apr 2017 08:54:27 +0000 avivoca 2719311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am always and forever a fan of BM Palladian Blue (I had it color matched at SW though, the coupons are better). It's the perfect ethereal blue/green/gray color. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-paint-color-suggestions#post-2719283 Mon, 03 Apr 2017 07:57:20 +0000 cat620 2719283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We painted our whole house before we moved in, and I love the colors! I think it's important to buy a sample can of paint and make sure it looks good in person before you choose one, because lighting makes so much difference. </p> <p>The colors I chose were:<br /> SW Light French Gray - Living area, kitchen, hallways, breakfast area<br /> SW Dockside Blue - Formal dining room, powder room<br /> SW Silvermist - Master bedroom<br /> SW Sea Salt - Master bathroom<br /> SW Mild blue - Boys' rooms and bathroom </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-paint-color-suggestions#post-2719259 Mon, 03 Apr 2017 01:00:23 +0000 AggieDaze 2719259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used agreeable gray throughout the main areas. Anew gray (one shade darker) in our master and collonade gray (sp?) in a bathroom and a guest room where agreeable gray looked funky. Cityscape in our study; moody blue as accents in the playroom and in a half bath. Sea salt in dining space and an accent wall. Love them all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-paint-color-suggestions#post-2719252 Sun, 02 Apr 2017 22:25:57 +0000 youboots 2719252@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My fave is SW on the rocks, the perfect light grey </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-paint-color-suggestions#post-2719241 Sun, 02 Apr 2017 21:27:45 +0000 sapphire 2719241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pinterest helped me narrow my color choices and then I got sample cans and tested them out. Very important step because I was surprised by how different things looked on the wall. The Sherwin Williams ColorSnap App also helped me play around and store favorites. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-paint-color-suggestions#post-2719217 Sun, 02 Apr 2017 19:35:20 +0000 wrkbrk 2719217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NCSUchick27: Congrats! We close tomorrow (!!) and we chose revere pewter for the entire house. We also liked edgecomb grey when we were looking. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-paint-color-suggestions#post-2719096 Sun, 02 Apr 2017 07:57:29 +0000 winniebee 2719096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have SW agreeable gray in our main living space and kitchen. I love it. </p> <p>We have BM quiet moments in our bedroom. I bet it would be nice for a bathroom too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-paint-color-suggestions#post-2719062 Sat, 01 Apr 2017 20:57:32 +0000 SLR 2719062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We recently painted most of our house in SW Amazing Gray. I really like it! We did our bedroom in BM Upper West Side. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-paint-color-suggestions#post-2719057 Sat, 01 Apr 2017 20:44:32 +0000 Boogs 2719057@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>SW Revere Pewter is one of my faves. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-paint-color-suggestions#post-2719052 Sat, 01 Apr 2017 20:00:52 +0000 Foodnerd81 2719052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There was just a post about neutral colors on here that had some good suggestions. We just painted our big two story foyer and landing Benjamin Moore Edgecomb Gray. It's a nice light beige-y gray (gray-ish beige?) </p> <p>I spent way too long looking at pictures and paint color lists on Pinterest, then I went to the paint store with a list of color swatches to grab. It helped me to see pictures of the colors in rooms before going to the store, since they looked much different under the bright store lights. And I figured if a color was all over pinterest and blogs it was probably for a good reason. </p> <p>We did BM Woodlawn Blue in our guest room- pretty, warm blue-ish green. And I think BM Silver Mist in the bathroom, which is more of a light grayish blue. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-paint-color-suggestions#post-2719039 Sat, 01 Apr 2017 19:03:26 +0000 Smurfette 2719039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaG: we have that in our basement.

I am adding it to my list of colors to try. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-paint-color-suggestions#post-2719032 Sat, 01 Apr 2017 18:32:00 +0000 MamaG 2719032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are repainting our master bed and bath next week with SW agreeable gray. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-paint-color-suggestions#post-2719030 Sat, 01 Apr 2017 18:14:35 +0000 NCSUchick27 2719030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p> [attach=3946/17/onr78b.600x450.image.png] [attach=3946/17/onr78d.600x450.image.png] [attach=3946/17/onr78e.600x450.image.png] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-paint-color-suggestions#post-2719029 Sat, 01 Apr 2017 18:13:15 +0000 NCSUchick27 2719029@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH and I are closing on our first house in a little over a month. I think I want to repaint most of the rooms. I would love some suggestions. I am think we will do a neutral color in the main living area and kitchen, and have a little more fun in the bathrooms and bedrooms. I tend to like light blues and greens in bathrooms, and I have no idea what I want for the bedrooms.</p> <p>I have been playing around with the Sherwin-Williams app. Some of the colors have found that I like are SW Sea Salt, SW Rainwashed, and SW Wordly Gray. Overall I still want to stay pretty light and neutral. The house has a lot of big windows so it should get a lot of natural light. They had the blinds closed in the listing pictures so they look a little dark.</p> <p>The current owners' furniture is more beige and light brown. Ours is mostly gray and espresso. </p> <p>I will probably be painting the kitchen and bathroom cabinets at some point too.</p> <p>Here are some photos from the listing:</p> <p>[attach=3946/17/onr764.600x450.image.png]</p> <p>[attach=3946/17/onr765.600x450.image.png]</p> <p>[attach=3946/17/onr767.600x450.image.png] </p>
