Experts Share Their "Go To" Neutral & Gray Paint Colors
The White Paint blog from August 2019 was such a big hit! Thank you for the amazing response to my FIRST blog post. So many of you have asked about Gray & Neutral paints - so I went back to the experts and have compiled their answers below.
Thank you for following along and please leave a comment! I would love to hear from you.
Sophie Phelps of Sophisticated Style Blog, Baltimore, MD
Sophie says “Even though its name may sound deceiving, Strong White 2001 by Farrow and Ball actually reads as the perfect soft grey especially when paired with white woodwork. It’s the perfect neutral that can read cool or warm and is a great way to add a hint of grey without feeling overpowering.”
Follow Sophie’s super fun Instagram below. I especially love her #detailoftheday on her stories. Scroll through her story highlights for the most beautiful photographs and interior ideas.
Mindy Bernard of Entre Nous, Lafayette, LA
Mindy says her go-to neutral is Benjamin Moore Revere Pewter. “Revere Pewter is a light gray with warm undertones that create a subdued complementary background for layering accent colors within a space.” And, well, I completely agree.
Follow Mindy’s incredibly inspiring Instagram, her classic design style and her gorgeous shop that features beautiful furniture, fabrics, hand selected accessories, and original local art - including mine! : )
Rebekah Dempsey of A Blissful Nest, Dallas, TX
