My husband and I are having the interior of our new house painted before we move in. Painting is beginning next week, and I can't commit to a light shade of gray or greige. Everything I've tried has been too dark like putty or too blue, purple, or green.
We would love to choose a neutral that can truly go with anything. Right now, we have very dark bamboo floors, but someday within the next few years, I'd love to change to light hardwood. Our couches are green but we're planning on replacing them and will probably go with navy.
Our painter would prefer to use Sherwin Williams paint. We're fine with choosing a Benjamin Moore color and having it color matched. Ones we've tried are:
BM Gray Owl (too green)
BM Revere Pewter (dark beige, putty, no good)
BM Edgecomb Gray (This looked strictly beige.)
BM Stonington (too blue)
SW Agreeable Gray (Almost the same as Edgecomb)
SW Snowfall (too white)
I'd love other recommendations! Our house faces north west I think, so it doesn't get a ton of natural light, if that's something we should consider.
