10:18 AM | Does anyone have a grey paint color they would recommend for a bedroom?
The curtains are a williamsburg blue color with a light grey leaf. The furniture is antique with walnut finish. Border has several blues/greys/tans in it. Lighting isn't that great and room is 12x12. The trim and doors are an oak stain. |

8:36 PM | I have a blue/gray color on my wall and it is called White Satin by Benjamin Moore. Not dark at all and very pretty. I love it! |

8:41 AM | Thanks for the input.
Aftert trying several trial colors, I settled on Revere Pewter ---Benjamin Moore.
I also sampled Benjamin Moore's Stoneington Grey(too light and blueish), Cement Grey (very pretty but still with more of a blue tint than I wanted) and Conventry Grey(very pretty but a little darked than I wanted.
I'm very pleased with the Revere Pewter. This was my first time with Benjamin Moore paint and I was very pleased with the results and coverage. I used the mid grade eggshell and it did great. The price was a little less than Sherwin WIlliams, about the same as Porter Paint and Home Depot and didn't seem to smell as bad.
