That Rever pewter looks Same as a concrete paint I use for my room it's just right and olive brown mix with a dod of white gives a nice grey tone to
I was really excited to try Stonington Gray but it was SUPER blue on a south facing room :/ it’s really hard to find a true gray. I wish they just used black and white to make gray instead of red, greens and blues.
Agreeble gray ✨
👍, Straight to the point. Thank you
Very helpful !! Thank you so much.
Thank you. We don't have a Benjamin Moore near us but was able to get the match at home Depot. Can't wait to get it on the walls not to mention having the absolute perfect Gray that is so hard to find. Thank you for video. Helped immensely!
I'm so glad!! Can't wait to hear how it goes! Let me know. Karla www.karladreyerdesign.com
Hi Karla. Unfortunately in my room it ended up looking beige. Fortunately this was the first time I decided to purchase a sampler. Saved me $$. I will mention after seeing a friend's new home as she loves that perfect soft Gray as well and the color is called Reflection by Sherwin Williams so I got a sampler from Home Depot and next day I purchased 3 gallons just to play it safe and it is an amazing True Gray. One wall with stripes of Gray and White, the rest Gray. Looks gorgeous. Thank you for sharing even though it didn't work in my room.
Thank you so much , you just made up my mind !!
Glad I could help!
Thanks so much!
You're welcome!
Light French grey is my go to!
That sounds beautiful!!! Karla www.karladreyerdesign.com
I love Stonington grey. I’m thinking of doing that color for my basement
It's a great color! Karla www.karladreyerdesign.com
Hi Karla, thank you for this video! My kitchen cabinets are white with a Corian countertop and backsplash in Mont Blanc. Currently white tile floors, will be replacing with light/medium gray tile. Having trouble deciding on paint colors.
HI Rosemary -- I like to paint the walls at times the same color as the cabinets so it all looks seamless. The other thing you could do depending on the cabinet color is do a shade lighter on the walls. Hope that helps! Keep me posted. Karla
Thanks Karla for your reply! Our home is open concept (dining room, family room, kitchen) cabinets are white, so I think it would be too much white. I was hoping for a neutral gray.
@@rosemarypadrick5190 Classic Grey by Benjamin Moore is a nice light grey. I would suggest testing on the wall first though. You can get small samples. Let me know how it goes!
Thank you so much for your help! I will check out the Classic Grey 😊
Good job
I just got a few paint cards from benjamin moore and we were really drawn to the stonington grey. Then it popped up in your top 4 and may have locked it in so cheers. There's another one just slightly darker called cumulus cloud....but instead of hair pulling will go with your choice.
Stonington grey is one of my favourites! I'd suggest getting a small tester and try it on the wall.
I like the classic gray imma go with that for my basement finish
Let me know how it goes!
Hi Karla - we are painting our home with almost wine barrel color nail-downs. It’s SW Knitting Needles right now, but we want warmer. Agreeable Grey isn’t much difference. Thanks!
Let me know how it goes! Edgecomb Grey is quite warm as well. Thanks!
Nice
Thanks!
Antique Tin from Behr is the perfect dark gray with blue undertones in different types of lighting. Love it so much!!
Good to know! I'll have to check that one out. Thanks! Karla
Looking for a color to brighten up my space . Currently have a darker beige color . Home has a small amount of natural light . I'm currently looking into basalt powder SW,Agreeable gray ,gracious greige ? Which color would you suggest . Also open to white options . Currently have red tone wood floors and cabinets, cabinets will be changing to white with black hardware and we may be changing the floor.
Very helpful! I'm going with Classic Grey, thank you! Could you recommend an Exterior white for a stucco house in SW Florida that has black windows? I'm going for a more contemporary look. Thanks!
Hello! Try a sample of Stonington Grey to see how that looks. It's a nice mid-tone grey. Keep me posted how it helps! Karla
Thanks for your video! I have a question, what light grey colour would you recommend on a south facing exterior brick house with a Westcott Navy coloured fence, that's not too blue? Thanks!!
Hi Sandra -- Classic Grey is a nice light grey. I suggest getting a sample and testing it out on the walls first. Let me know how it goes! Karla www.karladreyerdesign.com
Nice video. Thank you!
Thanks so much for watching! Karla www.karladreyerdesign.com
Cheers for posting this! It has really helped me. As I want to paint the walls Grey in my house, but couldn't find the "right" shades of grey to use, to go with white, slate and dark brown furniture. 🤗
So glad it was helpful! A warm grey always works well with browns -- like Revere Pewter. Thanks for watching! Karla www.karladreyerdesign.com
@@KarlaDreyerDesign Many thanks again, for all your advice! Love your channel! 👌🏻😁
Best regards from London. 😃
Stonington Gray is my favorite too!
It's such a classic color! Thanks for watching! Karla www.karladreyerdesign.com
Did I miss something as to what store to purchase Stonington Gray paint? Thank you.
Can you tell me where to purchase Stonington Gray paint? Thank you
Vicki Burt The paint is made by Benjamin Moore. Check their website, but it’s usually available at Ace Hardware in the U.S.
Vicki Burt amazon
Hey hope you good do you think is a good idea to use light grey at a back room (bedroom)?
I like the paint color in your back.
It's Simply White by Benjamin Moore! Karla
Could you suggest a white/grey suitable for kitchen units from Colourtrend paints please?
Hi Karla, I do like the stonington Grey as well looking for a darker shade grey for an accent wall. Do you have a couple of suggestions to provide some good contrast. Thank You....
You could try Coventry Grey or Chelsea Grey as they are darker. I would get samples and test first. Let me know how it goes! Karla www.karladreyerdesign.com
Great video 🤗🙏
Do you know the NCS codes, or where I can find them, for edgecombe gray and revere pewter?
And would you recommend these for furniture in warm oak and walnut?
Thank you!
Hi Jennifer! They are all Benjamin Moore colors. Both of those colors would work well with wood. I'd suggest getting small samples of each to try and the wall and look at it at different times of the day. Let me know how it goes! Karla
Hello I love your videos, question: what color do you recommend for my house that has an open concept and tons of natural light. I have wood floor natural like yellow and a lot of neutral furniture. Thanks so much.
Hi Cristina! I'd recommend Simply White by Benjamin Moore! It's a beautiful color. Other companies can also color match. Karla www.karladreyerdesign.com
Intro needs to be shorter!
Kissmyshinymetal3 yeah it was over 30 seconds. That’s a super long intro! I agree.
Thank god for a skip button right ? You should try it out
For real.
Let’s be polite and kind and watch the video. No need to be rude.
@@annanicole1717 it's a good suggestion.
Nice information
Thanks
Thanks for watching! Karla www.karladreyerdesign.com
Hi Karla, great video! Do you think classic gray walls with white dove trim is a good combo?
Absolutely!! Great combo! www.karladreyerdesign.com
Karla, do you have any idea about the equivalences of those colors in Jotun brand? Especially the first one...
Hi! I'm not familiar with Jotun but most paint companies can color match so if you give them this paint color they can create it. Hope that helps! Karla
Hi karla thank you for this video! My kitchen cabinets are brown tan , and the kitchen countertop is marbel brown , which colour should i go with to paint with family room ? Thanks
I would try Cloud White -- it has a nice warm tone. Hope that helps! Karla
I’m thinking of doing mindful gray kitchen cabinet and white dove for my kitchen wall do you think that those 2 colors will clash? I’m getting a white quartz with little gray veining. I also have natural trims and my floors are this warm ceramic tile.
Hi! With Classic Grey for the kitchen I would suggest simply white for the walls. White Dove can have yellow undertones so I think Simply white would work better. Let me know how it turns out! Karla www.karladreyerdesign.com
I'm about to start to paint my whole house. I have light to medium gray floors. What color do you recommend for wall color...thank you
I'd say Simply White by Benjamin Moore. It works with so many homes and looks great. Let me know how it goes! Karla www.karladreyerdesign.com
Hi Karla, what is the name of the gray wall behind you?
Hi. The issue I've got with 1 &2 is that it needs a lot of light in order to appreciate it. If your house space doesn't have a lot of light then I suggest dont use it.
If you don't have a lot of light, I suggest a warm white instead of grey then. Hope that helps!
I’m new to your channel and love it. I have a question. I have a gray oak flooring and I want to paint my wall light gray. Would classic gray work?
Thanks so much for watching!! I would try classic grey. You can get a small tester to try on the wall first which is always a good idea. Let me know how it goes! Karla www.karladreyerdesign.com
What paint company is the colors for like the classic gray
I wish i would have saw your video on gray colors I two gray colors and your right first gray we pick had blue under tones and looked like powder baby blue finish so we returned it. Second choice we thought was a gray with slight brown tint but really gray and this finished with powdered color of gray but looks like off white middle of the day (thought it would be the classic gray you mentioned). So we failed again we should have went with either (Stonington gray or revere pewter) Room is 16'x25' and the color was washed out. We have another large room with lots of natural light any suggestions?? Thanks so much.
Thanks for this video! I’m thinking of painting my whole house with BM Classic Gray and BM Simply White for the trim. Do you think there’s enough of contrast between the two to where you can still notice that the wall is gray, not white?
I think that is a great combo! Beautiful! Yes, there will be enough contrast. Karla www.karladreyerdesign.com
Thank you!
Hi Karla, I have a question. What darker neutral gray color would you recommend for dedicated media room without any windows ? Thanks
That's a great question! I would try Stonington Grey. It's not super dark but would create a cozy atmosphere. If you want really dark, Willow is a great color. Has a greenish undertone. Let me know how it goes. Karla www.karladreyerdesign.com
Hi, Thanks for the great channel. I was wondering what the colour code (NCS/ RAL) is for the colours you have named in the video? I live in Denmark and our colour names aren't the same as in the US.
Thanks for watching! They are all by Benjamin Moore! Karla www.karladreyerdesign.com
Thanks so much for watching! All the colors are Benjamin Moore paint. Here is the website and you can any paint company can color match. Thanks! Karla www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us
Hello Karla i have a question what gray color would you recommend by SW besides Agreeable Gray Light French Gray since those are everyone favorite for the Dining room Living room and kitchen what a smooth gray not to dark and definitely not to light but in the middle whats your top 3 or 5 choices thank you in advance and your time!!!
Hi Patrick -- a few you could try are: Stonington Grey by Benjamin Moore, Classic Grey by Benjamin Moore and Conventry Grey. All nice choices. I'd suggest getting paint samples and trying on the wall and looking at in different lights. Hope that helps! Karla www.karladreyerdesign.com
Hi Karla, would you recommend Stonington Gray for exterior paint? It would be for a small house facing west.
It does work well for outdoors. What I'd suggest is getting a sample and paintingg a bit maybe on the side of the house so you can test it in different lights etc. Let me know how it goes! Karla www.karladreyerdesign.com
Hi Karla which brand of paint would i go buy for classic gray i just want a light gray thanks.
Benjamin Moore! Karla
It would really help with the colour codes, for us that are not in USA. I loved the last grey, could I get it for this one?!
Good suggestion -- thank you!
Also look at gray owl and moonshine by Benjamin Moore
Hi Karla which gray tone are you using on your background wall in this video?
I have the same question
I’m really crazy now since we can only stay home, I really need your help!🙏🏻🥴❤️
Hi Cheri! I'm working on new videos and will be posting more soon. Let me know any topics that would be helpful. Thanks! Karla www.karladreyerdesign.com
Quick question;
what is the brand of paint you are recommending for the classic gray and stoinington gray?
It's Benjamin Moore but any paint company can colour match. Karla www.karladreyerdesign.com
Do you have a suggestion on one that’s just a tiny bit darker than the last stonington great?
You could try looking at the colour one up on the color swatch from Stonington. Hope that helps! Karla www.karladreyerdesign.com
I tested TWELVE greys on my living room kitchen walls and could not find a color that wasn’t blue or purple. I went with SW Passive and it’s a super light baby blue and I hate it. Back to the drawing board... definitely going to try Stonington grey! Thank you. 👍🏻😊
Oh no! Sorry to hear that! Yes, grey paint can have a lot of undertones. Stonington is a really nice color. Let me know how it goes! Karla www.karladreyerdesign.com
I love functional gray used it for my living room!
@@KarlaDreyerDesign I found that “Seattle” is an actual grey. It doesn’t turn any other color.
I'm working with honey oak hardwood floors, In your opinion are grays off the table? Walls now are like a beige with very yellow undertones and I hate them! Just moved a few months ago so trying to update paint but my head is spinning! Lol!
I would try warm whites -- Cloud White by Benjamin Moore or maybe for the greys something with a warm tone like Revere Pewter. Hope that helps! Keep me posted! Karla
Is Stonington Gray a good choice for a North facing bedroom? We tried Sidewalk by BM and it came out purple.
It's best to test it out. It has a slightly blue undertone but a very pretty color. Let me know how it goes! Karla
My colors are black silver and teal, I want a nice grey to accent those colors
Try Classic Grey by Benjamin Moore! Karla www.karlaadreyerdesign.com
I’m thinking of painting my room a white or a gray color. I have lots of wood furniture, but I’m trying to stay away from beige. What color do you recommend? Thanks! Benjamin
If you have lots of wood, I'd suggest white -- Cloud White or Simply White would work well.
Hi Karla!
I am so bad at color selcetion.
I have chosen Wordly Gray by Sherwin williams for the cabinets .
However, for the walls and trims I was confused.I was leaning forward to city loft for walls.
What do you think?
Would really appreciate your guidance.
I'm not familiar with Wordly Grey but you could always do the walls in the same colour but go a couple shades lighter. Makes the room have a cohesive feel. Hope that helps! Karla www.karladreyerdesign.com
Cool video thanks :)
Thanks!
Hello, love watching your videos. What wall color would you recommend with medium grey sofás and expresso coffee table, I’m trying to stay away from paint with blue, green or yellow undertones. Also I’m painting kitchen cabinets chantillí white. Your help would be greatly appreciate it. Thank you
Hi Isabel, thanks so much! If you are painting the cabinets chantily lace white you might want to consider painting the walls the same colour. Considering you have grey and espresso in the furniture I'd suggest trying Simply White for the cabinets as it's a warmer white and then you could do the walls the same color. Let me know how it goes! Karla
Than you for your repones, will simply white work for the kitchen with chantillí white cabinets, and for living room with grey sofas?
The colour behind you is perfect. What is it?
Plus which company’s classic grey are you referring to? I’m sure they all make classic grey. I’m assuming Benjamin Moore?
The colour behind me is Cloud white by Benjamin Moore, which also makes Classic Grey. Simply White is another favourite. Hope that helps! Karla
Can you paint the walls and ceiling with the same color classic gray
Yes! That's what I do most of the time. Karla
What grey do u recomend for the entire interior of the house ? And what whites for the moldings ?
I suggest getting small samples to test of the grey's I recommend in the video. And for the mouldings -- Cloud white or Simply white are good options. Hope that helps! Karla www.karladreyerdesign.com
Hi Karla. Could you tell us where can we buy the paints . I live in Queretaro, Mexico I meant sherwin william, comex, thank for you information
Hi! It's Benjamin Moore but most companies should be able to colour match! Karla www.karladreyerdesign.com
The paint colours I'm recommending are from Benjamin Moore but most paint companies will be able to match. Thanks for watching! Karla www.karladreyerdesign.com
Nice video! What co isn’t sells these particular colors?
HI! They are from Benjamin Moore. Thanks! Karla
Redoing my home. Painting cabinets and trim to white but have ceramic tile that is orange in color. Don’t want it to look too blue but really don’t like the green undertoned greys. Any suggestions?
Hi Lisa! You will definitely want to get the right kind of paint specific for cabinets and for ceramic tile. I really like Coventry Grey or Stonington Grey by Benjamin Moore. I'd suggest getting small paint samples though and testing them them out and looking at in different lights. Let me know hot it goes!! Karla www.karladreyerdesign.com
What white trim color would you recommend with stonington gray? I'm also looking at putting in white kitchen cabinets should that match the trim?
The trim doesn't necessarily have to match but your cupboards will appear larger and the ceiling higher if the cupboards and trim are the same color. That being said with Stonington Grey you can use Cloud White as a trim color
@@KarlaDreyerDesign I forgot to mention the trim and molding was painted with Dunn Edwards Swiss Coffee which is a little less yellow than BM version. would cloud white make the trim look dirty? Should I just have the cabinets painted with Swiss coffee as well?
What is the gray color behind you in this video????Love it!
It's actually Cloud White by Benjamin Moore!
What gray color do you recommend for kitchen cabinets?
I like Stonington Grey or Conventry Grey for cabinets. I'd try both out first and see how it looks in different lights. I have a new paint video coming out tomorrow! Karla www.karladreyerdesign.com
Is Stonington gray similar to Passive Gray (SW)?
I'm not familiar with Passibe Grey? But Stonington is a beautiful medium warm grey. Looks great on cabinets too! thanks! Karla www.karladreyerdesign.com
Karla what color is the wall behind you? I like it.
It's Cloud White by Benjamin Moore. Karla
Gotta try that Edgemont Gray.
It's a very warm grey!
Hi Karla I am painting the exterior house sherwin williams dovetail…trying to figure deck color…..is mindful gray good with it. Any suggestions?
I'm not familiar with mindful gray. I'd suggest getting a sample and painting a bit of the deck to see how you like it. Also make sure you get the right kind of paint for outdoors etc. Keep me posted how it goes! Karla
Revere Pewter looked like cement on my walls.
Hi! Which grey are you using for the background in this video?
It's Cloud white! www.karladreyerdesign.com
Proper gray
Hi Karla,i got a big house close to the beach, was painted in light green.repainted in Dulux Fair Bianca,Indian stone floor..I found it is too bright especially on the corridor which has lot of downlights ,can't dim them down.beside I have lot of colourful paintings hanging along the corridor wall, because of it is too bright I wanted to paint onewall as a feature wall and want it Stan out but blend with color on the stone floor, which grey can I use to go well with Fair Bianca but give abit of calm relaxing feeling?thanks Karla..AnneFrom Australia
Hi Anne! You probably want to try a warm grey. Revere Pewter might work.It's a beautiful color that changes in different lights. I'd suggest buying a small sample and testing it out first to see how you like it. Let me know how it goes! Karla www.karladreyerdesign.com
Outside gray? With white trim.
Thanks for the video where can we pick up Stonington Gray? what supplier?? thanks advance
It's by Benjamin Moore but any company should be able to color match. Thanks for watching! Karla www.karladreyerdesign.com
Sure looks beige to me
what color goes best with a black sofa
It depends but something like Cloud white would warm it up! Karla
Hi Karla, what is the shade of grey on the wall behind you please?
It's Cloud White by Benjamin Moore. Thanks! Karla
@@KarlaDreyerDesign thankyou for that :)
What color are your walls in the intro!
It's Simply White by Benjamin Moore. Karla
Which colour is best for house paint among gray
It depends. I would get small sample paint cans of the ones I suggested in the video and test them out. Hope that helps! Karla
I am desperately trying to find a light to medium gray paint. TRUE GRAY! Every sample we have tried looks gray/blue or gray/green. Any suggestions for True Gray paint?
Have you tried Classic Grey by Benjamin Moore? It's a light grey and a very soothing color. Another one I love that's darker is Stonington Grey or Coventry Grey. Most do have undertones so it depends on the lighting in your space etc. Let me know how these go! Karla www.karladreyerdesign.com
@@KarlaDreyerDesign thank you! I am going to try to get a sample of both colors!
Hi Im from England we got different name for those grey colours can you please write to me if you can the fourth colours you show by English colour name. all de best
Manythanks
Hey Karla, which grey would you recommend to complement honey oak flooring and champagne color sofa?
I would probably do a warm white like Cloud White. For the grey you could get a sample of Revere Pewter to try. Let me know how it goes! Karla
@@KarlaDreyerDesign Thank you Karla!!!! We ended up going with Balboa Mist. Hope it will turns out nice.
@@sherry7948 That's a really nice color too! Keep me posted how it goes!
Hello,my bedroom has grey flooring( silver oak laminate flooring) and i want to paint my bedroom walls white. Which shade of white will make the room look more warm and cozy and match with the flooring.
I would go with Simply White. It's a warm white but without the yellow undertone. I always suggest getting a small sample to try it out first on the wall. Let me know how it goes! Karla www.karladreyerdesign.com
Karla Dreyer Design thanks so much .
Where can you get Edgecombe Gray? What store?
I have a bathroom in the basement with no window and want to go grey...any suggestions for a dark room? I have tried SW Silverplate but not to my liking...
You could try classic grey -- it's a very light grey. Karla
What is the color behind you? That is quite beautiful. :)
Simply White by Benjamin Moore. thanks! Karla
Hi.. Please can you tell me what make is Edgecombe Gray paint (ie.. Is it by Dulux)? Or can you please tell me where i can get it from?? Thank you
Hi Harsha -- it's by Benjamin Moore but any supplier can color match it. Hope that helps. Karla www.karladreyerdesign.com
@@KarlaDreyerDesign ohh really??
I didn't know that.. Thank you. X
Great video!! New subscriber here
Thank you!!
Everything I'm putting in my house is turning a green tan gray. Why is that? Classic gray, silver drop and repose all turn weird.
I just want the lightest cool gray possible without undertones. What color would that be ?
That's so interesting that is happening. I usually suggest classic grey. What about trying a half tint of Classic Grey or consider going for a white like Chantilly Lace -- no undertones to this one. Let me know how it goes! karla www.karladreyerdesign.com
I have that picture saved in my phone with the stairs and black banister but on mines it says Edgecomb gray not revere pewter but it’s the exact same picture 🤔🤔🤔 I just painted my walls Edgecomb but wish I went with balboa mist 😭😭😭
Oh no! Edge comb is a very warm grey. Balboa has a cooler tone to it but also a great color!
That picture you’re referring to is the house of John & Sherry from YoungHouseLove, and it is in fact Edgecomb Gray, not Revere Pewter.
What's the color of your wall if you don't mind sharing?
It's Simply White by Benjamin Moore! Karla
Is natural grey good. I finished painting anf it looks purpleand blue and white all togethr
Which grey did you paint?
I have dark wood furniture, floor, and want gray, but I have I have sand tan couch , which gray do you think?
Cheri Norris the first one she talks about
Hi -- Edgemont Grey works well with wood furniture as it's a really warm grey. I would suggest getting a sample of it to try first. Let me know how it goes! Karla www.karladreyerdesign.com
Almost classic grey
But more darker
