Hi Claire, we’re remodeling a bathroom and hit a road block. Can you suggest a contrast color for smoke embers? Fixed elements are a charcoal tile, beige pattern tile floor, natural wood vanity with brass fixtures. We used Ben Moore sea salt on the walls and hated it. Kinda made everything feel muted after we painted it that color. Probably should have used SW sea salt but looking for your input. Thanks !

Mem,,which color is good in master bedroom 2019??..we will start this month so please suggest me

All of the trim in my house is linen white. I am choosing a dark floor - ebony wood stain. What color lighter gray goes with these colors for Kitchen especially (essential white cabinets and fog gray island with white calcatta countertop)? Does light pewter work? I want it to be really light and bright (lots of windows) and I love the colors you chose, just not sure which one to use? :) Thanks!

Would any of the lighter gray look nice with a walnut bed set? I have two windows in my bedroom and would like to keep the walls neutral. Also, are these colors consider more on the cool or warm side? Thank you!

@ClaireJeffordConsulting

7 жыл бұрын

Typically I tell clients that wood is like a neutral - like jeans - and it goes with almost anything. Saying that, Walnut (which is a lovely species of wood by the way) tends to take on an orange tone over time. At least that has been my experience with hardwood. As blue and orange are opposite on the colour wheel and many of these grays have a blue undertone, it's possible that the walnut may read more orange. As these grays have blue/green undertones, they are on the cooler side. If you are looking for something warmer, I would consider a 'greige' like Pashmina or Revere Pewter. However, you need to be guided by other elements in the room such as artwork, draperies, area rug etc. Or if you are lucky enough to have a fireplace in your bedroom and it has a tile surround, then you need to be guided first and foremost by these 'fixed' elements. I hope that helps. By the way, I have done videos on both Revere Pewter and Pashmina if you want to go and check them out in my Benjamin Moore Playlist. Cheers for your comment!

The kitchen sink is light gray cement as well as the kitchen table A few of the kitchen cupboard doors are wire mesh.

Great video, but I'm curious - maybe I'm overly scientific, but lately I've developed a habit of Googling the HEX and/or RGB values, etc. for some Ben Moore colors (using Encycolorpedia for example) and the stated B Moore color values for all of these colors indicate fairly different undertones than what you describe. For example, Stonington Gray is described as a light shade of yellow-green, as is Titanium. Boothbay Gray is described as a medium shade of green-cyan. (Wickham is not in the database). So, do the actual paint colors, when applied, just fail to convey their intended values visually? It seems that Stonington Gray for example is certainly designed to have a yellow-green undertone (not blue) because if you look up that color on BM's own website and then select the darker shades of it, the green definitely starts to come out. Are the undertones scientifically indicated actually there and we just can't see them correctly, or is all the "science" hogwash? Sorry for the long question, but this damn color stuff (as a photographer) fascinates me and I find the data helpful in matching colors on the good old color wheel! It's FUN!!

Whatever you end up doing, make sure you repeat the accent wall colour elsewhere in the space so it looks purposeful. For example, in my daughter's bedroom we painted the ceiling a dark blue, which worked with the upholstery fabric on her bed and the blue in one of the accent pillows.

Hi Lillie! You need to look at your counter tops and back-splash first, those stones often cannot be ignored. As your cabinets are light oak, depending on their tone, they could be considered more of a neutral. Of course, if they are very orange, then they will be 'warm tones'. Also consider the flooring, especially if that is a stone as well. And yes, please do not paint walls gray just because it's been popular over the past few years. If your fixed elements are warm and earthy tones, a cool gray will not work.

It can have a bit of colour or design to it as it sounds like everything else is fairly neutral, but may need to lean towards a warm tone based on what you have described. If you can, take a sample piece of your counter, flooring and then a kitchen cabinet door with you to a tile supplier when looking for backsplash. See what you like that works best. Then from there, take all those finishes to a paint store and select 5 or 6 colours for the walls, then see how they look in your home.

Looks like a yellow white. I've not used it before, but it appears to be quite a warm white. Lovely!

Hi Claire! I am thinking of painting my living room Wickham Gray (it's an east facing room) and then I have a den that connects to it, separated by a wall with glass french doors which I would like to paint a shade darker. What's your opinion on this? I live in Washington so during the winter time it can get rather gray. I love your video's. :) Thank you. Kathy

Hi Kathy. You could absolutely paint the other room a shade darker. If you have good lighting with pot lights and lamps, that will help to brighten up the room on dreary days. Thanks for watching my channel!

Shale has a pink undertone. We used that colour for the walls in our clients living and dining room. You can see more of that project here --> clairejefford.com/portfolio/gallery/ashmore/ Thanks for watching!

Claire Jefford Thanks so much, will it work well with White Dove cabinets, ceiling and trim? Love your content! 👏🏾👏🏾💯

@@JanetJenkins yes, but be be aware of your fixed elemets like tile flooring, counters, fireplace brick etc. If those are cooler tones or not compatable with the slight pink undertone, it won't work. We didn't have any bossy fixed elements in this space and the other paint colours already in the house were warmer tones. So we had a bit more flexibility and of course, chose the paint last after selecting all the decorative items in these rooms..

@@ClaireJeffordConsulting My fixed element is selected but not installed yet, it is the Colonial White granite counter tops. I'm painting my cabinets myself, I had selected Dove White earlier but not considering the counter tops and Shale. My transition color in the hallway and foyer is Balboa Mist. I tried sample pot poster board a home, and they looked good to me (east facing kitchen, the counter top is not installed my slabs are really light) Now I'm concerned that I need to rethink everything. I would never have guessed pink undertones! Gah!

That is a green gray. I've used it for a bathroom before, it's very nice.

The lighting was unfortunately dim -- too dim to discern some of the undertones you're describing.

Hey Debra. Do you mean the lighting in the video? I have a ring light now for future videos, so hopefully that helps. You can always go grab all the paint chips from BM and follow along in your own space to see with the light you get in each room. 😊

Where is Balboa Mist? 🤔

That's another good one too! I can't fit them all into one video I'm afraid, but maybe I'll do a follow up with more great grays! Thanks for watching.

UGH! More Gray!!! Let's all get over the gray we think is so sophisticated, modern, classy. Or Just Plain SAD

This video is 5 years old now, so yes, the grays are on their way out for the most part. But because people took a while to embrace the grays, many are still wanting it in their home. Over doing it where you see gray 'everything' is when it's especially depressing and will date quickly.
