what color paint goes with SW Aggreable grey?

2 years ago

We just bought a new house. We painted the walls of the living room which has tall ceilings with SW Aggreable grey on the walls and BM kindle charcoal above and sides of fire place openings. The living room is open to the kitchen which has cherry cabinets and Brazilian cherry floors. I need help with picking a color for my kitchen. Any suggestion? Here some pics:

Have you considered continuing the agreeable gray throughout the space? Using the same color gives the space a feeling of harmony.

That is what the painter suggested also.

I think you should consider houssaon's idea of painting it the same color as the walls. Is the top of the tv console painted wood or is it a stone or composite? In the pictures my ipad shows me speckles (not dirt!!). My ipad sometimes *lies* to me. :) If the gray is the prominent color in the paint, maybe a darker gray would be a good choice too. If you are happy with the gray/green color next to your bookcases, then you should be able to pick a gray that would look good with both the new paint, and the bookcase. Gray next to the fireplace shouldn't be a problem :)

Thanks a mil! That's the thing about new colour. It does take some getting used to. However I had my babies room, a spare room and the inside of my front door painted at the same time last week and love all of the colours chosen but this one I just can't look at. It turned out to be more of a minty green than the colour samples on the wall. One of the fabrics below are being make up in a footstool and I think it may be overkill with too much colour. I wanted the coushions and footstool to pop as those are the things you spend the most amount of money on rather than the paint. In saying that. The cost of the paint was expensive and also paying someone to do it. Now to do it all over again is not ideal.:(. i took the cushions and fabric into one of my other rooms to see what it looked like against a more neutral background and felt it looked a little better. See pics below. Any other paint suggestions are much appreciated.

i'd do charcoal or lighter grey with charcoal in it., ideally hung to the ceiling and touching the floor. measure floor to ceiling, buy the length that covers the most space, put the rods at that height.

That is true alright, though even with a patterned carpet they usually keep a mat for people to wipe their feet on by the door, or if people like to remove boots or shoes when entering ( not that common here) but great idea. The trouble with the patterned carpet was if anything fell on the floor you could hardly find it !!

I agree with Jennifer. I would paint it agreeable gray.

Try Behr Sand Drift, but buy your paint at Sherwin-Williams. See it in person with a paint chip from Home Depot. Repeat, do not buy the Behr paint.

Hey there. There are many great colours that would work with Agreeable Gray. Here is a blog post with colour palettes to share the undertone, the best whites for your trim/ceilings as well as inspiring colour combinations. I hope this helps! Agreeable Gray Paint Review here

Claire is correct that there is no rule saying that you need to use just the one color and there are colors that work well with Agreeable Gray. The reason that I suggested using Agreeable Gray wasn't that there are not other choices, but because you have two spaces that are not currently speaking to one another. The only commonality between the two rooms is the cabinet color and countertop color. If you had the same flooring running throughout the space I may not feel as strongly about keeping the wall color the same, but you don't.

Using the same wall color and possibly using some of the Kindle Gray will make the two spaces feel like they belong in the same home. All too often I find that people have picked colors one room at a time and end up with something that feels disjointed.

I don't do color one room at a time - I always plan a whole home color palette and work from there. Usually I choose one neutral and might do a lighter and darker version of the neutral, and then add color to my neutral spaces and use those same colors as wall color in an adjoining bedroom or bathroom.

Here are a couple of homes that were designed with a whole home color palette in mind.

It is just that agreeable gray depending on light sometimes it is grey and sometimes it is creamy beige like. And I don’t know if it goes with my kitchen cabinets and backsplash tiles?
Do you think if I choose to paint the kitchen walls with SW accessible beige, it will clash with agreeable grey in the living room?

Agreeable gray is neutral color. I would go with it for entire house.

It looks like the cabinets/countertops in the dining room match the cabinets/countertops in the kitchen, so that you already know works well.

We can't see your backsplash in the photos, so can't judge, but Agreeable Gray is a greige that works well with most everything except for beiges with a pink undertone and taupe with pink or violet undertones, which is an unlikely color for your backsplash as it would clash with the cabinets and current kitchen wall color.

Both Agreeable Gray and Accessible Beige are Greige (Beige/Gray) one is more gray, one is more beige, but neither are true gray or true beige. The problem with having them next to one another is you risk that they are too close in color and can just look 'off' or like a mistake rather than a deliberate decision.

Again, for a feeling of harmony, especially with the two different floorings, I would not change wall color between the two rooms.

Afsaneh, Since we can't see the backsplash it's difficult to give suggestions. I would strongly suggest addressing the ceiling angles and lines as well. A bright white ceiling doesn't work with the fixed finishes in your kitchen, there are many ways to address your tray ceiling to help it look amazing.
