We painted our living room Martha Stewart's Potter's Clay and we love it. I think a lot of how it would turn out would depend on what kind of light it gets, but ours looks mostly grey, with a little bit of those warm earthy undertones. The stress of choosing paint colors makes me get hives. Good luck.

I love Benjamin Moore Winter Solstice. Here's the BM site http://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/paint-color/wintersolstice
Here's a Pinterest pic I found http://pinterest.com/pin/54535845457290216/

My in-laws just painted their living room this color and I love it with the white trim. It's blue/gray.
Have fun!

Out of the colors that you posted, I like Pudding Mold, followed closely by Sea Salt; but then I'm a blued gray kinda girl myself. You could always add some dark gray accents.

Good luck with the choosing, That always ties me up unto frustration. I have the idea in my mind, but I can't seem to find it exactly. (Too green, too orange, too, too, too...) I may or may not have

Have a gray that I love...it's Martha Stewart chinchilla. And a gray-blue Martha stewart winters day. Site doesn't do it justice but here is the link to winters day.

Misty by SW is my all time favorite colors. I saw it in an issue of BHG. I wanted a gray with a teensy bit of blue. What I got was perfection!

2012-01-09T14:25:19.065-06:00

I was looking for a grey-blue tone for my living room and picked up a tester of Sea Salt from SW. I thought it looked more green than blue personally. Can you mail paint? I'd send it to you! :) We ended up going with SW Silvermist, which turned out darker than I might have hoped, but it is a nice grey-blue color, I've seen some people cut it with 50% white to lighten it.

We are having our baths (one full and one half) renovated which has given me the opportunity to start over! The small bath is finished and I painted it this weekend. It is Sherwin Williams SW6802 Jacaranda. Sort of a "carolina blue sky" if you have ever been in the Carolinas. Thinking of something greenish in the large bath. Sherwin Williams is great! Just went in and they were

We have sea salt in all living areas - it really doesn't have a green look since we have lots of windows and high ceilings - buy a tester & try it in the area of the room that is the darkest. If you have lots of trees, the green reflection will make a difference.

Sherwin Williams Comfort Gray!!! I stole it from The Nester's front sitting room. It's not gray, it's the perfect subtle aqua and it goes with everything. LOVE IT.

Katie's room is so cute and cheerful looking! :)

Just as a sort of random fyi...I painted the relaxed khaki in my last house and certain times of day it would look very peach. I lived with it because it would have been too much difficulty to repaint, but it wasn't my favorite.

2012-01-06T17:42:53.265-06:00

I'm contemplating paint for the house we're building (did I tell you I know how to frame a house?), and I'm leaning towards Valspar's Tranquil. It's comes from their independent supplier line that I can get from our local building supply. It's a touch of warm grey. Good luck picking something!

Katie's room is precious. :o) The quilt that you have on the foot of her bed is one of my favorites that you made! I remember when you shared the fabrics you were gathering. :o)
Your paint colors are fabulous. I am looking forward to seeing your choice. I can so appreciate your California girl lighter colors. I am that way too. I just don't like the dark much. Miss my CA

A friend of mine painted her kitchen, dining and living room and up the stairs the relaxed khaki with white trim and it looks lovely. I used the sticks and stones from SW with creamy trim in our dining room, living room and up the stairs...nice neutral, sorta greyish brown.
Good luck with your paint selection...yes, it always seems like such a process picking just one color!

2012-01-06T14:06:14.679-06:00

I painted my daughter's room "Modern Gray" by Sherwin Williams. It's a beigey gray, but you don't realize it's gray tones for a bit. But it's not too brown. It's very subtle, but it will go with ANYTHING, which is why I went with it, knowing the room will change hands from elementary schooler to baby to toddler with both genders a possibility. And I had picked
