I don’t think you can wrong with either one.Thanks for taking the time to blog! !Without seeing photos, it would be impossible to ascertain what the issue is. Dark Walnut stained oak floors throughout – Uba Tuba countertops (yet another thing I wish were lighter – but not purchasing new granite!) I have never heard it mentioned either. Is there a difference? As a general question about trims though in a modern (but not ultra modern setting) – do you want a stark contrast from the wall to trim and ceiling or do you want it to be more subtle?
Generally things get more washed out, outside because well… there’s SO much light. After all it’s spring—-Ever need even if kitchen cabinets are off white? Very pretty. Hi Laurel, I am so overwhelmed.
Edgecomb Gray is right below Revere Pewter in the Benjamin Moore paint deck, but Edgecomb Gray has more yellow in it than Revere Pewter and less pigment. Custom mix.I am going to paint my bedroom Edgecomb grey. it’s impossible to advise you.
However, the yellow undertone of the Cloud White doesn’t look well with the blue of the window frame! How shiny of a finish would you put on the trim work? or ceiling flat and walls eggshell and if so, how does that affect the overall room with 3 different sheens?That is a good question. The only moulding is around doors, windows, and floor. I think that “white” is a misnomer for the latter as is often the case when they name their colors.
Oh well, that’s why I always put in the name of the color and the number. I have seen dark south facing rooms and bright north facing rooms. And while the Ancient Marble could be reflecting some of its color, it could also be the lighting in the Panda White room that’s bringing out the green undertones. The interior I want is cool and bright. It was Pratt and Lambert Ancestral and I loved it. Sometimes it’s alright and sometimes not.I know you’re an interior designer, but what is a less glaring white or other color for exterior trim on a red brick Southern colonial with huge columns? I would speak to your designer or find one that works better for your needs.Hi – Little input for trim with BM Tranquility AF-490 walls. Reply; Nitza July 5, 2020 at 8:00 am.
A creamy white is preferably, IMO. Laurel, what a wonderful article, THANK YOU. Used this wonderful color throughout a home we own. Do you use it with pops of color, or in keeping with a more neutral look?
Your blog is FAB!
I noticed they’re both Chameleon grieges leaning grey or beige depending on lighting conditions.Love the pics!
I am confused. we just moved into a new house and had it all painted before we moved in so repainting isn’t an option at least for a while. If you want to see the entire list of wonderful whites, I have a can of it because that was what was used in my apartment for the trim and ceilings before I bought it.
~ AngieI don't have much gray in my home but I love it...your inspiration pics are awesome!Your kind comments are encouraged and greatly appreciated! We are repainting the interior of our house, and I’m wondering if this will be too much to do in the entire house. Thanks for the tips!What did you decide? xoHi Laurel! And I’m not doing consultations at this time. I live in NY. The floors are a medium color hardwood. Go to a really cold/white lightbulb and you may find the green goes aaa.Is Edgecomb gray a good color for the basement where there isn’t much in natural light and I will probably always have can lights on. My husband says just paint it all Alabaster. He did a great job painting, but we weren’t happy with the paint.
:] If you go to the blog tab, it is the most recent post.Laurel , you are SUCH a pleasure to read! Please help.Sounds like you need the help of an interior designer and/or color specialist. THANK YOU! Perhaps you missed the note which is as close to the comment box as I could get it. Just painted my large great room that color, too and it opens to the breakfast area that’s creamy white. 20 years ago I had those fugly melamine 80’s cabinets in our townhome.
And also consider what is going on in the adjoining rooms. The crown moulding always looked ever so slightly pink. !I’ve never liked stark white trim.
