This is a complex and multifaceted color as it looks different in different parts of the home. Weird, I know.īenjamin Moore Gray Owl was nice but too “cool”- and it didn’t look right with our dark cherry wood staircase and cabinets.Īfter more research and confusion, I ended up using Benjamin Moore Edgecomb Gray throughout the entire home except my children’s rooms and I’m 100% happy with this choice. Even my painter suggested going lighter because it would be too dark for an all-over color. It was even darker than the color of the paint swatch. However when I sampled the paint in my own home, it came out too dark. Elegant, modern, not too dark, not too light. So here is how Benjamin Moore’s Revere Pewter looks against white trim. And I also knew I did not walk a gray with green undertones. I knew I wanted a “warm gray” not a “cool gray” and these two seemed to be the most popular, tried-and-true colors recommended by bloggers and designers. After days of research, I was down to two colors: Benjamin Moore’s Revere Pewter and Edgecomb Gray. And all of these colors come highly recommended. There is a wealth of information floating around the web about hundreds of different shades of grays and greige (gray+ beige) so instead of repeating all that I’ve learned and found to be true (and untrue), I’ll just cut to the chase for the sake of this post.Īccording to Benjamin Moore, their best greige paint colors include: Revere Pewter, Edgecomb Gray, Classic Gray, Natural Cream, Balboa Mist, and Pashmina. I probably should’ve done a better job documenting the first time I chose a Gray (or Greige) wall color for my home but I never got around to it, so here is a belated post about how I ended up choosing Benjamin Moore Edgecomb Gray as an all-over color for the home I was living in back in 2015. Here the gray perfectly balances the white ceiling and trim and also the black details on the door, staircase, light fixture, and artwork.

Which is why I chose it for this round of interior decorating. Whether you’re accenting with a bold color like black, or meshing together several different shades of white, gray can be a safe, go-to color. It amazes me just how dynamic gray can be, depending on the surrounding environmental factors, like windows, bulbs, lighting, lamps, etc.Įven the other objects/furniture in the room can have an affect on the look of your gray color. In the photos below, you will see how a good-quality gray paint can tie a whole room together. The inspo below really came in handy as I was deciding on what color to go with, and it might come in handy for you as well.
