Help Me With Paint Colors

[westwoodmom04]

We are closing on our new house tomorrow— a 1920s colonial. The current owner has been there for more than 20 years, and at the walkthrough earlier today, I realized I am going to need to have basically the whole house repainted(the exterior also needs to be painted, but that’s a later project). We haven’t yet sold our current house so have some time to get painters in before we move. Still, I am going to have to make decisions about paint colors pretty quickly. Hit me up with your favorite neutral paint colors.

For really neutral - we had most of our house repainted last year in Agreeable gray. We used SW Naval as an accent color. I love a good navy.

We have enjoyed Sea Salt, I think it’s SW.

Thanks everyone, I will check all of these out.

I'd encourage you to go get samples and put them up asap. They look SO different in different light from the N or S sides of the house.

Our recent kitchen color SW Drift of Mist (like agreeable gray, maybe lighter?) looks great in the kitchen, but when my first big quarantine project was to paint bedrooms, it seemed to suck the life out of our boys' north-facing rooms.
We also used Snowbound on all the ceilings, Pure White on the trim and doors.

BM Midnight Blue on the front doors and island. BM Brittany Blue in bathrooms... Any chance you could hire someone to help "see" the color possibilities for the whole house? I got some help downstairs, but really struggled to love my selections upstairs. Those designers have superpowers.

I'd highly suggest a color consult by a professional. Ours picked colors I wouldn't have selected on my own but they work really well in the space. I'd suggest colors but they really do vary a lot based on lighting and fixed elements like trim/doors, flooring, fireplace stone, etc. A neutral picked that I loved in one room of our house looked green on a different wall in the same room.

Agree! Or just go out and buy samples and start painting. We repainted our old house before we put it on the market. I thought I wanted SW agreeable gray, but it looked greenish. We ended up with SW accessible beige, which is more taupe colored, because that house has lots of oak. It’s crazy how it looked grey in certain areas, white in others, and beige in others.

We are repainting the outside of our house and I think I have everyone of the mentioned colors painted in splotches on the back wall. Pick a couple colors but definitely put some on the wall and look at it. The inside of my house is mainly Loggia ( shade lighter than stone lion)
