Let’s take a quick break to talk about paint samples… Paint Colour Review of Sherwin Williams Silverplate Silverplate is similar to Tinsmith, but a bit stormier looking and slightly more likely to flash blue-green (but favours blue). With an LRV of 53, Silverplate might be a bit heavy for a dark room, but looks sharp, clean and inviting in a reasonably well-lit room, especially with cool bulbs. Silverplate is a slightly cool gray that hits JUST the spot when you’re looking for a gray that isn’t too ‘this’ or too ‘that’. Sherwin Williams Paint Colour Review of Colonnade Gray The Difference Between Revere Pewter and Colonnade Gray As for undertones, Colonnade lightly favours green, but can EASILY flash into any of the cool undertones.

Paint Colour Review of Sherwin Williams Anew Gray And while Anew Gray isn’t as warm as beige and tan, its subtle warmth takes a more passive approach that adds a pretty softness to any room. With its LRV of 47, Anew Gray will add depth and personality to a room without weighing it down, AS LONG AS your room has adequate natural or interior lighting.
Unlike its lighter version, Agreeable Gray (which we’ll look at shortly), Anew Gray settles quite nicely between gray and beige, whereas Agreeable often caters to gray. ( Read all about LRV)Īnew Gray is a light-medium depth greige. It’s the PERFECT depth when you want a colour that holds itself well in slightly darker areas but doesn’t wash out completely on well-lit walls. The LRV of Big Chill is 62, so it’s classified as a light colour. Compared to the EVER popular Benjamin Moore Gray Owl, Big Chill has far less green-blue undertone, making it look more like a ‘typical’ gray. It has a wink of a stormy blue undertone, but it’s not an icy cold colour – it’s calmer than that.

You can also see it in The 3 Ninjas of the Gray World.Ĭheck out my video review of this stunning colour too! However, Repose Gray isn’t the most PREDICTABLE gray and you’ll want to read its colour review to learn more. It will hold itself nicely in a well-lit room, brightening up, but can look a bit drab in a darker, shadowed space. With an LRV of 60, Repose Gray is a light colour, but a ‘heavy light’, as it doesn’t have the fresh, bright feeling you’d expect in a typical light paint colour. In the above photo, look at how Repose Gray changes from the left side of the fireplace to the right – oh the glory of NORTHERN EXPOSURE! There’s not enough brown to qualify it as a greige, but enough to add softness and stop it from falling icy cold. Repose Gray is a light gray that has SUPER subtle brown undertones with a wee dab of violet but can be VERY unreliable with it. Whether you’re preparing your home for sale or living in it, Repose Grayis a popular warm gray paint colour.
