    We are having our two-story foyer and family room painted with SW Agreeable Gray. We've debated other greige colors and that is the one we keep coming back to. I also like SW Alabaster however, my husband wants a neutral with a bit more color. Choosing the right color(s) can be overwhelming and your videos break it down so it doesn't seem like such an insurmountable task. I really appreciate that, thank you!

    Happy to see this start with Hague Blue-reinforcing that there are timeless colors that are not white or beige. If you have an ordinary house, yes, neutrals may be the best bet for a quick sale. Our experience has been, however, that boldly chosen accent colors draw buyers to a house. If carefully chosen, they attract people who like something different but don’t want to worry about choosing the right shade. For example our chartreuse colored kitchen island drew the buyers of our last house just because they wanted to see it in person. They ended up falling in love with the house, which got multiple offers in an area where that was quite rare. Sometimes going bold pays off. 💕

    I'm one for "playing it safe" when it comes to colors. I've always stuck with earth tones, like those James mentioned. But, I now see saturated colors such as Sherwin Williams' Naval as timeless. It's rich, luxurious, and stately. I'm using it on two accent walls in my family room and on all of my kitchen cabinets and Island against Chantilly lace on my walls. I think such a deep rich color has such appeal and class for the person who can see that.🤷🏽‍♂️

    So happy to se Balboa Mist!! I’ve used it in my past 2 homes and was always happy with it; it was calm without being boring and imo changed through the day and through the seasons as the light changed outside. I don’t have it in my current house as it’s still painted the previous owner’s colours but am seriously considering it because I liked it so much before. (I’m only holding back because I feel as though I’m ‘supposed’ to be over greys?).

  • @roselucht4583

    If any of you are looking for good neutral grays for your insides, look to the warmer grays. 1464 light pewter through to 1466 smoke embers are my go to color strings. Also classic gray and balboa mist are monochromatic equivalents. They are oc23 and oc27 but they are also 1548 and 1549. Meaning they are different shades of the same tone. Great neutral grays. If you go too cool, they'll just look blue or green.

    My favorite neutral in Benjamin Moore’s Beach Glass (1564). About the same tone as Balboa Mist, but one is taupe, the other, blue. I’ve had BG on my main walls (including the kitchen!) since 2014, almost nine years, and still love it. It’s a warm, relaxing colour, kind of like a warm hug.

      I can confirm this! Been painting a lot of remodels and new construction. Stick with agreeable gray or another shade. Also alabaster can have like 20 different looks depending on what product is tinted to that color.. I've seen it insanely yellow in a few trim paints! I would avoid alabaster like the plague.

    I used to live next door to an old-time painter- he said NEVER shake your paint tins, it will distribute air bubbles throughout which will transfer to your walls.
    Their apprentices had to stir all the paints for at least 10 minutes in a figure eight pattern.
    (He also said anyone caught sitting down while painting was instantly dismissed by the boss!)

      20 Year Professional pointer here... You shake all your paints. And preferably strain it as well before each use. I prefer to use a stir stick drill attachment to ensure its perfectly mixed (does a better job than even the shakers at Sherwin or home depot).
      No, you will not get air stirred into your paint. This is the most ridiculous concept I've ever heard of. Also in theory let's say it did, the process of actually using a roller will mash it on the surface and backrolling gives nice even stippling ontop of it. If you were to use an airless sprayer that would literally squeeze out every bit of air while it primes the hose. There is absolutely no need to even contemplate air being inside the paint. As a matter of fact both airless sprayers and especially hvlp sprayers incorporate air to achieve a smooth fan pattern. (in airless the pressure does most of this, but the design of the guard does control the surrounding air to help achieve the perfect spray fan).
      No part of your concerns make any sense whatsoever, not even on a theoretical level. Air is important, both in the delivery of paint and the drying process itself. Air is your friend, not some sort of contaminant.

Now I’m left with the master bedroom and laundry room and I’m definitely leaning to an off-white.

      SW Greek Villa is gorgeous, I painted kitchen walls and upper cabinets with it, the lower cabinets are wood tone, the kitchen has south and west facing windows. I love the overall look.

    White, off-white, eggshell, cream, pale dove gray, light beige, light taupe...they're all timeless. Those beautiful saturated colors we love will go out of style and polarize potential buyers. If you never, ever, plan to sell and move, then go ahead with the navy, black, charcoal gray...heck, go for the burnt orange, Dijon mustard, fuchsia pink, pine green, or rich teal of your dreams. It's just paint! But consider how much time & money it will take to re-neutralize your house for a quick sale, if needed. Sad but true: neutral sells.

      I agree! I’m building now and I plan to keep it simple and beautiful without a strong color. Being 62 I know I won’t live there forever and I don’t want to paint it to sell when I’m older.

      Except I bought a home in NM with bold warm colors. Mustard Yellow, 😱 cactus green, pumpkin. Hated them at first then while decorating discovered they work beautifully as neutrals with other colors and fell in love with them. Looking back, my white and beige walls in prior homes were boring and cold. Suggest picking colors from color pallets you can find on line.

      My sister kept saying “but if you sell . . . “. My reply is, I’m living in the home, and am painting for myself, not some hypothetical buyer. Yes, if you know you’ll be selling in the next couple of years . . . It’s a very valid consideration, but then, why buy and live in a house decorated for someone else ?

    • @sorbabaric1

      Note: I don’t have an open floor plan house. But an older home with separate rooms, lends itself to a different approach. One difficulty I had in seeking cohesion was all the interior design videos focus on choosing paint colors for open floor plans.

      How dreadful to live your life with neutrals because "you might need to sell."
      That said, I find most people do have difficulty dealing with saturated colors. They find it almost impossible to transition color from one room to the next so that the majority of homes I've visited over the last 4 decades with pronounced hues have rooms fighting against one another to the point of "SHOCK SHOCK SHOCK" rather than "WOW WOW WOW." If someone isn't comfortable with color it's best to spend a few dollars for professional advice.

    I am like a lot of people who are not afraid of color. To me, your home should share who you are with the guests who visit. This white, gray and black theme is so sterile and cold. Lets see some colors that would appeal to people who truly want to live in a home that is colorful yet cozy.

    Struggling to find colour ideas that aren't the typical mens bedroom types. Am not into blue, especially the light and pale type, I find them cold and hard. I find all grey shades too hard as well, and black is too depressing and dark for a bedroom. My current colour is a shade of lilac. This is far from a typical mans colour, but I want to change it up completely. I like the Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen styles, with traditional but want a mix of contemporary too. My bedroom furniture is dark antique woods, which I must admit make my bedroom appear smaller, but I love furniture like that. Am getting greens (not pastels or dull sages etc). Am not a white type (mothers keeness for white whilst growing up has had a negative effect on me) and so has the boring beige colours. Like the idea of a yellow maybe...even red....have bed covers of red and black flock, but like I said...need a change.

    It was going really well until you hit us with agreeable gray and balboa mist! Im personally traumatized by both. Lol. Both pulled pink and purple in different lighting conditions in my home (in both North and South). I think BM White Dove should have made the cut too! Is there a reason why you didn’t include it?

    • @colleencc7
      @colleencc7 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      I’ve had Balboa Mist in my past two homes and in the first one, I did notice the mauve/lilac tones in certain weather in my upstairs main hallway, with a large west facing window. My last house it was in my east-facing bedroom and I didn’t get that at all (and kinda missed it) and in the previous house it was also in an east-facing great room and I didn’t see it there either. Pulling” mauve or pinks isn’t a bad thing to all of us.

      Lol! We have Agreeable in our East/west facing home in Florida. On overcast days, it’s definitely grey. On bright sunny mornings, it’s light blue/light purple. In the evening, it’s pale green. And after the sun goes down, it sometimes looks tan. I love it for all these reasons! It’s never boring.
