I'm simple. I like bringing color in other ways. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/list-your-favorite-paint-colors#post-822118 Fri, 31 May 2013 13:00:48 +0000 lawbee11 822118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love Restoration Hardware paint.

These are all great suggestions. I am leaning heavily towards Revere Pewter in the living room and will do some more research on the colors you suggested for the other rooms. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/list-your-favorite-paint-colors#post-821458 Fri, 31 May 2013 09:43:32 +0000 ladyfingers 821458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love our paint colors.

I'll have to take photos later when the light is better to compare the two! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/list-your-favorite-paint-colors#post-820990 Fri, 31 May 2013 06:53:56 +0000 matador84 820990@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@zippylef: no it is a true light gray we love it! </p> [attach=2081/13/mnnvpy.450x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/list-your-favorite-paint-colors#post-820950 Fri, 31 May 2013 06:16:34 +0000 looch 820950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just painted our entire interior in Benjamin Moore.

I've redone two rooms cause it was so off, and that was with the little tester bottle. I went for blue grey and got baby blue, and light brown taupe and got lavender!<br /> So far, my two favorites are ben moore Galveston grey, a warm grey with slight brown undertones, and behr sagey, true green sage. I like behr slate pebble too, it comes out like a mix of brown and purple even though it doesn't look like it on the swatch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/list-your-favorite-paint-colors#post-820888 Fri, 31 May 2013 03:40:56 +0000 loveisstrange 820888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@matador84: ive had my eye on Revere Pewter to paint our living room. It looks kind of brown tinted in pictures, does it in real life? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/list-your-favorite-paint-colors#post-820127 Thu, 30 May 2013 20:30:37 +0000 avivoca 820127@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@raintreebee: Right now, it's in our living room and hallway. I plan on painting the kitchen the same color because the rooms will eventually be open to one another. I also have an accent wall in Rural Earth, which pairs nicely with the blue. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/list-your-favorite-paint-colors#post-820125 Thu, 30 May 2013 20:30:13 +0000 matador84 820125@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we love benjamin moore paint! our living room is revere pewter and our entry is shaker beige. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/list-your-favorite-paint-colors#post-820112 Thu, 30 May 2013 20:28:28 +0000 raintreebee 820112@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@evansjamie: Very pretty. In what part of the house did you use it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/list-your-favorite-paint-colors#post-820006 Thu, 30 May 2013 20:09:13 +0000 avivoca 820006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ben Moore Palladian Blue.

Thank you ladies. I will investigate those! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/list-your-favorite-paint-colors#post-819707 Thu, 30 May 2013 19:21:35 +0000 MrsH 819707@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have lots of grey in our house. Mickey's shadow is a good one not sure what brand. Fantasy grey is another. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/list-your-favorite-paint-colors#post-819688 Thu, 30 May 2013 19:18:43 +0000 spaniellove 819688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've tried looking for a mint green in BM's line and have had a hard time. Do you have the Color Preview deck? We used Ashley Gray in a bathroom and it was a nice warm grey. It's kind of hard to guess from the little swatch what it will look like on the wall! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/list-your-favorite-paint-colors#post-819631 Thu, 30 May 2013 19:09:33 +0000 raintreebee 819631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am trying to distract myself during the TWW in my IVF cycle and am staring at one of those huge color wheels from Benjamin Moore totally bewildered. We are moving apartments soon, and I need to come up with paint colors for the living room, two bedrooms, office, bathrooms, and hallway. Maybe even the ceilings and the trim? Our furniture and bedding is pretty versatile. I am thinking about a warm gray in the living room, a slate blue in the master bedroom, and a pale minty green in the guest bedroom. That's all I've got thus far, and even within those parameters there are a zillion options. Last time I tried this, I chose a warm gray that ended up purple on my walls so we'll see. What are your favorite paint colors? Do you remember the brand and names? </p>
