Who knew there were sooo many shades of grey or is that gray?
I am doing it, not hiring someone as initially planned. I've done it before, I'll do it again. And I painted a hallway for my Mom this past weekend and it was fun! {That is what I am saying now, minus paint all over my hair and arms!} HELP!
Which one is cheaper? Is it bad that I said that?
ReplyDeleteNo! I found coupons for each, but I am painting over an awful mustard yellow so coverage is important!
DeleteI like smoke embers!!
DeleteI like the smoke embers :)
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, I'm in the same boat you are. I went to go look at paint samples yesterday, and I never knew there were so many shades of pink! Wishing you a successful home makeover! :)

Do you get a lot of light in your new place? If so, go darker. If the darker color matches your sofa, go lighter for some contrast.
ReplyDeleteI say Smoke Embers, but I HIGHLY recommend testing them both in your place. The light, the floors, the furniture all reflects on gray a lot and it can change completely based on what else is in the space. Our gray was beautiful before we stained our floors, once the floors were stained in turned purple.
ReplyDeleteAnother vote for Smoke Embers!
ReplyDeleteI definitely say test before paint - and then you can totally do it yourself :) I just painted all my walls - easy peasy.. I can come help if you need an extra hand friend!! As far as colors soooo hard to tell online!!
ReplyDeleteReally you want to help?! I am doing it in two rounds.....this weekend/Saturday round one - and then once i recoup the bedroom is round two! Text me if you really want to! :)
DeleteSmoke embers. Have fun! :)

Ditto to Smoke Embers. One thing I did when trying to decide something for my place was paint a couple large poster boards in each color. Then hold them up on the walls. This allows for a large sample and can help you get a feel without painting the walls. Let us know what you go with. Decisions, decisions!
ReplyDeleteI went through this when I looked for the perfect grey shade for the lady bean's nursery! Am I the only one that likes the one on the left? Haha!
ReplyDeleteNo, that is why we are here!!! I have changed daily!!! LOL I even brought that one to work with me today to look at! (A paint stripe but you know!)
DeleteI vote for the right one, smoke embers. But test it out first, the color might change a little bit once on the wall ;)
ReplyDeletePAINTING PARTY!!!!! LOL Smoke Embers and not just bc I did the EXACT.SAME.COLOR!
ReplyDeleteI think the Behr Classic Silver looks more "cool toned" whereas the BM Smoke Embers seems "warm toned". It is SO hard to pick! I like them both!!!!
ReplyDeleteI just went through the same thing! Bought 8 different "gray/grey" samples before I narrowed it to 2! I am going with Valspar's Filtered Shade, a cool toned grey! Starting on Thursday! Whoop whoop!
Happy painting!!!! PLEASE post a picture when you finish so we can see! :)
I heard you used my painter! how did he do?
