![]() For example, if the wall color is with a blue duvet, it will tend to look more blue. With all of the photos I have seen with this paint color, it seems to me that the wall color will tend to look like whatever you pair it with. As I mentioned, this is a lighter version of Front Porch and Lattice so you will get similar hues as those two paint colors. ![]() This silvery-gray paint color was featured as Sherwin Williams "Color of the Month" for December 2016. Jamie of Mindfully Gray (I think her blog might actually be named after this color!) used it beautifully in her dining room, kitchen, and living room. I think SW Mindful Gray looks great with rooms with a lot of trim. I would absolutely still classify this as gray. But, I would never EVER look at it and think "green". To me, it has the slightest green undertone. It can have these beautiful chameleon-like effect under different lighting. It is one of those colors where you have to take a double-take to truly determine what color it is. I also plan on painting our brick chimney stack in the master bedroom this color soon! Mindful Gray first came into my life when I saw it used in an episode of Fixer Upper. I have used this a couple of times: in my parent's powder room makeover on the vanity and also on our little sewing table turned coffee bar that now lives in our pantry. It looks really dark in comparison to the other grey paint colors in the chart above, but I promise it is not super heavy or dark. Mindful Gray is another favorite of mine. As a result of it’s middle ground on the warmth spectrum, it never reads brown or “muddy”. For the remainder of the day, Repose Gray is pretty true to it’s description as a warmer, light to medium gray.Īnd while Repose Gray is undeniably warmer than many of its gray constituents- which can often read blue ( like Sherwin Williams Passive)- it is definitely not as warm as a Revere Pewter. That being said: in the cool morning light (just before the sun has fully risen), I do notice a faint presence of purple which eventually goes away with the warmth of the sunrise. That is….until the paint had completely dried and the purple undertones were no longer noticeable. From my observation of the various samples alone, Respose Gray seemed to have the least amount of undertones- a pure gray.Īs I was applying the first coat of paint to my walls however, I noticed some lavender undertones which had me freaking out a bit. To avoid the conundrum altogether, I decided to abandon any potential risks and go the safe route by pursuing a neutral paint color with warm undertones-beige undertones to be exact.Īfter testing various “greige” (grays with beige undertones) samples against my carpet and headboard, I decided Repose Gray was the winner. ![]() In fact, I was afraid a true white would cause my cream colored headboard and off-white carpet to appear dingy AF. While the Modern Farmhouse movement has basically become synonymous with crisp, white walls, when it came to my master bedroom makeover ( you can read the original post here), I was not entirely convinced that white paint would be the best choice. I thought today would be the perfect opportunity to share my review of Sherwin William’s Repose Gray with you. Moving on from my somewhat irrelevant tangent… He is the one who actually makes sh*t happen. ![]() So.full disclosure here… I am just the wuss with the big ideas. While he has no prior experience in construction, he is the fearless one who always figures out the intimidating stuff (electrical, plumbing, sheetrock, etc). This unfortunate incident just goes to show what an integral part my husband truly plays in the whole renovation process and, ultimately, in my blog. On a more positive note however, he his doing well and I think we will be able to resume labor this weekend (though it will probably be at a slow pace). As you can imagine, his recovery is currently our first priority and as a result, we have had to halt all action on the project until he has healed. Much to our shock and surprise, my husband had to undergo emergency gallbladder removal surgery last week when a gallstone was found during a yearly wellness checkup (so crazy because he had no physical symptoms!). While I would love to be sharing the progress of my butler pantry build with you today, I am sad to say my husband and I have hit a temporary set-back… you will probably want to read today’s post as I give my review of Sherwin William’s “Repose Gray” SW 7015. Looking for the perfect shade of “greige”? Well.
