Keeping guest room white for now.

2014-03-25_0028So had our first home renovator fail. We had originally decided on Benjamin Moore “Revere Pewter” for the Living Room, Dining Room, Kitchen, Hallway and our bedroom. But when I started to put it in our room it looked a lot more beige/brown than gray. Turns out the sample we had on the wall looks way different. Think it has something to do with the light exposure in our house. Or, our house has some crazy paint vortex. Either way.

Long story short we are selling 10 gallons of Revere Pewter if you are interested!  

So we are back at it with the grays.

From Left to Right

1. Harbor Gray 2. Gray Owl 3. Silver Chain

Picking the right gray has been the hardest! They can pull a blue, purple, green, or brown tint very easily so it has been incredibly difficult. Last night I have even had a dream about GRAYS!! It’s going to make me go gray here soon!

The Harbor Gray and Silver Chain look very similar and I liked them both but think they are too dark for our space. We are going to go with Gray Owl.

Let’s try this again.

    that middle one is my favorite! good call. 🙂 can’t wait to see it!

  2. Painting all of my trim, cabinets and doors grey. The toughest color to pick!! Hubby is at the store bringing home your final choices. Painters will be here in two days, so I MUST CHOOSE! Thank you for your advise and pictures. It will have to be one of your final three. SO EXCITED!!!!

  3. We are currently battling between Grey Owl and Moonshine.
    Grey is so difficult!

    • Grey owl looks blue/mint green in certain lights. Stonington gray is a better grey.

  4. I’m considering silver chain for my bedroom and master bath. Has anyone else used it?

    • I’m also considering silver chain. It’s so pretty…has a bit of the storminess of a Stonington but none of the blue.

    I painted my kitchen with Silver Chain and I love it. Total kitchen remodel with white shaker cabinets, New River White Granite countertops. I liked it so much I also painted my laundry room “Silver Chain”. In my opinion it looks like a true gray, not warm, or green, or blue. Debbie

  6. Hi
    I painted one room with Benjamin silver satin . It is a very light grey.
    French doors attach two rooms and I’d like continuity with grey but a little deeper color.
    Can anyone recommend which grey color will compliment the silver satin ?
    Thanks so much!
