I love how you described every paint color. This is exactly what I was looking for. Picking a color with the wrong undertone can be an expensive mistake so I appreciate the information. Thank you! You got a new subscriber.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! There are so many beautiful shades of neutral and so hard to figure out the differences. Thank you for your expertise! You saved me so much time and money! 💖
I really like that you use drapes the same color as your wall color-this is exactly what I prefer too. I want the drape to blend in rather than standing out.
I’m a 33 year old man that is doing a first time DIY project to paint and floor our house and you have no idea how much your video just helped me. I got so overwhelmed with all the gray/beige/greige paints. We are getting the paint from SW and based on your video, I think we’re going to go with the Agreeable Gray as it seems to be a good greige color. Based off of your video I picked up 3 samples from Lowe’s today (cheap way to get a sample of SW paint to pick out the color. SW doesn’t have samples in our area). Picked up Colannade Gray, Repose Gray and Agreeable Gray. Tried all 3 and Agreeable Gray seems to be the best greige choice.
As an Interior Designer, I am surrounded by exposed brick.....I live in an English Industrial Rowhouse.....my insperation was the color of the mortar between the bricks.....I chose Valspar's Woodrow Wilson Putty.....very little contrast with the ceiling white....the color of my level loop carpet was inspired by the outcropping of the foundational stone, exposed in my dining area....just gorgeous....
We are renovating a 2003 built home (lots of mustardy yellows, dark creams and drab greens!) and the primary color we chose is a warm white called BM Cloud White. We also considered similar warm white colors such as Simply White, White Dove, and Greek Villa. The key thing is to test samples on your actual walls, in different rooms, and at different times of day and see how they interact with natural light, artificial light, window treatments, floor colors, ceiling color and even outdoor scenery (like trees, which might reflect green into your spaces through the windows). Floor reflection and undertones have a big impact on how paint reads. And of course it’s a deeply personal choice. Another thing we are learning is that multiple shades of paint in the same general color can add depth and interest to a space, eg slightly different shades of white for ceiling, walls, trim, etc. This gives your home a sense of layers and history. We are learning as we go!
BM Cloud White is a beautiful white, and I'm so glad to hear you tested multiple options. It's truly the best way to ensure you end up with a paint color that will look great with your unique lighting conditions. Sounds like you're making some fantastic design choices!
I live in Colorado too. Our east-west exposures make it easy to be happy with one color choice when one room has a predominant exposure. But picking a color now for a longer room with equal east west windows is challenging.
Yes, that is a challenge! It's usually a safe bet to choose colors that lean slightly warm, over cooler colors, because they tend to work well with fixed materials (like wood flooring) and play nicely with other colors. If you're looking for a versatile whole-house color, try one that sits somewhere near the middle of the warm/cool spectrum (neutral), but leans slightly warm. For example, a greige rather than a gray, or a muted off-white rather than one that leans more yellow. That should work well in a room with both east-west exposure.
This is helpful for someone like myself who is frozen in fear over what color paint to choose. ;) What would you say is the difference between SW Colonnade Gray and SW Agreeable Gray? Also I keep hearing gray is on it's way out. By going with a color in the Greiges category, does that help keep the paint color more timeless? If not, what color is the trend moving to?
BM Sugar Cookie OC-93 is a cream color that isn’t white, beige or gray. We used in the the main living areas of our home and I love it! If you chose it, be aware when when first applied it looks bright yellow. I freaked when I first saw it! Three to five days later it looked gorgeous!
Great, useful content! I’m subscribing b/c you take the time to answer questions. I know you can’t answer everyone all the time, but you show a real thoughtfulness in responding to your followers. 😍
I live in the desert southwest and in a very open space. All corners are rounded bullnose, so the main living spaces flow into each other and are blessed with lots of natural light. The exterior has a Mediterranean vibe and my aim is a very comfortable transitional interior that feels very comforting after entering from 110+temperatures outside. Only permanent color is our new medium/dark bamboo flooring. Any thoughts? I really need ideas.
This was a very informative video. I liked your color selections. I realize that for some white's beiges and grieges can be boring, but they do offer flexibility when decorating I love intense colors, but they can become too much over time. They also require more effort to paint offer. I prefer my intense colors to be in the artwork and furniture etc. I am looking for a warm white other than Navajo White. What would you suggest? Thank you & I have subscribed to your channel.
I’m a 73 yr old woman, with no experience!! Your video is soooooo helpful. We are building our dream home and have chosen Alabaster for most of the house. The house has lots of natural light, high ceilings. What do you suggest for the trim and ceiling?
Glad it was helpful! You can do Alabaster for trim and ceilings, as well. However, if you'd prefer to go with a more neutral white for trim/ceilings, I recommend SW High Reflective White
Thank you for this video! Im considering beige walls but not sure what color to choose for the kitchen cabinets. I know white is always an option, but think I want something bolder. Can you recommend something?
Thanks so much for the great overview! I love the white trend for both inside and out. The house we are buying is yellow with navajo white trim. I would love to paint it all white but it will be a huge and expensive job. Wondering if there is an exterior white or greige color you would recommend to replace the yellow that would also coordinate with the current navajo white trim? There is some brown/gray stone on the facade of the house too. Thanks!
If you're looking for a wall color to go with your trim and crown moulding, you might want to try an off-white or light beige or greige. A nice, light or medium shade that can bridge the wood tones and white trim will look great. You could also go opposite on the color wheel to your wood trim with something subtle like SW Silver Strand.
This video was very good.lm in a small apartment and everything in here is light oak wood floors ,kitchen cabinets l have a taupe sofa what color do you think l c ould paint the walls.Please answer l need help.
Can you recommend a color for bead board ceiling that is white. Walls are decorator white e classic gray waincoating. It’s a small beach cottage. Thank you
It depends. If you want your trim and walls to blend together, you could use Alabaster or Swiss Coffee as the trim color, as well. If you like the idea of a more neutral, and brighter white trim and ceiling color, then something like BM Chantilly Lace or SW High Reflective White would work well. The nice thing about a more neutral white on the trim and ceilings is if you want to change your wall paint color in the future, you won't be limited in color choice, like you might be with a creamier trim color.
Hi , lovely video and appealing visuals . Can you please suggest the closest match to revera pewter in indian brand colour(asian paint), i was not aware of greiges 😅 before. Now im fascinated to it. Eagerly waiting for your response
I really like this video. Very helpful. I am looking for a good light blue color with a Grey undertone Or greyish blue Any suggestions? Also have you done any videos on indoors stairs railing? Thanks again
Glad it was helpful! Have you looked at SW Silver Strand or BM Wickham Gray? I have another video on blue-grays you might find helpful. (th-cam.com/video/GNEuDZOBlYE/w-d-xo.html)
Paper white color could look very cold in a bath with tiles grayish white and streaks between taupe and light beige?. The bath hardware is chrome. Thank you for share.
Hi there, Sorry I am a bit late to this video but would you k ow where the sofa in the Greige section comes from please? The one with the round arms. I am looking for a replica and have been searching everywhere. Thank you so much.
Hello. We are going to paint the interior walls of our ranch home with BM swiss coffee in eggshell finish. I wandering what white to use for the ceilings and for the trim. Do you have a recommendation? Thanks in advance.
Thank you very much for your information.Would you suggest for me trim color if I have Accessible Beige color of the wall(don’t like white color,cabinets are hazelnut color).Thank you.
As a fun of urs i want a beige for my room but between kilim, accessible n shaker beige which wil be nice for a young man like me or can u recommend some for me
SW Accessible Beige is a great one! If you want to go lighter, try BM Manchester Tan or SW Edgecomb Gray. BM Shaker Beige and SW Kilim Beige are classics, but today's trend for beiges is a little more muted.
I love how you described every paint color. This is exactly what I was looking for. Picking a color with the wrong undertone can be an expensive mistake so I appreciate the information. Thank you! You got a new subscriber.

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
Excellent overview, good visuals with concise information.
Much appreciated!
I have chantilly lace in my living dining area and I love the chalkiness of it and the purity.
Awesome! Chantilly Lace is a great paint color.
Did you also paint your baseboards the same color?
I really like that you use drapes the same color as your wall color-this is exactly what I prefer too. I want the drape to blend in rather than standing out.
Love pink damask by BM . Beautiful white with the slightest hint of pink.
Me too!

I like paper white, but I like one color down called Classic Gray
Classic Gray is a gorgeous, light whole-house color. Even though it has gray in the name, it has nice warmth to it.

Sorry, ascent wall color that I want to use in the master bedroom that possibly go with Crystaline AF 485. Thanks

What’s a good white trim color to go with Revere pewter
BM White Dove or BM Chantilly Lace
Hello c: Any idea which of the colours go well with Dark Grey Vinyl Flooring? Thank you!
For gray flooring, it’s a safe choice to stick with greiges, light warm grays, and neutral whites

Good research.

What's the wall colour name in your back side it's so good?
Sherwin-Williams Modern Gray
Would you use a stock white ceiling and trim paint if using an alabaster or Swiss coffee on the walls?
It depends. If you want your trim and walls to blend together, you could use Alabaster or Swiss Coffee as the trim color, as well.

What are your thoughts on SW White Duck?
White Duck is a great off-white paint color for interiors! Very similar to SW Shoji White, which is another favorite of mine.
