The problem was they all ended up looking too blue or purple. On the advice of a Benjamin Moore colour expert I reluctantly tried Benjamin Moore's COLLINGWOOD grey. I thought it was way too beige on the paint chip but it turned out to be the perfect soft grey on my walls! I still don't understand how it looks so different once it's on the walls but I love it! <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8895104784950964974.post-78725413491195422022011-12-05T13:09:41.463-05:002011-12-05T13:09:41.463-05:00I'd love to know what paint color does that--I...I'd love to know what paint color does that--I'd be happy with either or both variants!Andrea Rosennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8895104784950964974.post-65164439604334239992011-11-18T06:30:36.612-05:002011-11-18T06:30:36.612-05:00Hey...

If not, there is a gray I like a lot, called "Sleigh Bells" from Benjamin Moore, that doesn't go violet, blue or green. It is a neutral medium gray that looks fantastic with glossy trim in Simply White.Virginia Country Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17291355605808113627noreply@blogger.com
