I LOVE this color and it is exactly what I want to repaint my living room - do you know what brand/color this is?
Also SW is having a 30% off sale (with coupon) that ends Jan 31.
Yes, where did you get this photo - I google searched it but nothing came up. I love this color.
I doubt this is the exact color but it looks like a close match to Windham Grey by Pratt & Lambert edit to add: I used this in our laundry and it's a great medium grey.
We have BM Revere Pewter in one of our bathrooms, BM Classic Gray in DS's room and BM Moonshine in DD's room. Revere Pewter is a mid-tone, lighter than what you already have on your walls. Classic Gray is my favorite of the three--a true light gray, IMO, with no purple / blue undertones. Moonshine, on the other hand, can definitely read light blue in some lighting.
I used Martha Stewart's 'chinchilla' I tried so many sample cans of greys around my house and it was the best true grey I could find....not too blue, not too purple. This is from pinterest.

We used Revere Pewter color matched into Behr paint for the majority of the common areas of the house, and it looks fantastic. We also used BM Amherst Grey in our bedroom, but it's much darker than what you have pictured. The Revere Pewter is a pure gray--no purple, blue, or green undertones. I think it would be spot on to that picture if you reduced the saturation maybe 25%
Our entire home is currently painted in martha Stewart whetstone gray ( coloured matched to SW paint) it's a Greige, and appears either more gray or beige depending on light.
we have BM moonshine in our living room and kitchen. it looks much darker in my house than pictures you'll find online though. we have BM revere pewter in our bedroom, and it's fine i guess but i think revere pewter looks kind of dreary. i don't love it. my plan now is to paint our bedroom white lol it gets almost no light, it sucks.
i painted my ILs house gray owl by BM and i love that color. light, and a true gray.
i have tested dozens of grays. it's just what you have to do when you want to pick a gray. lighting and your surrounding colors make a huge difference.
The only thing I'll say is that grey is an abnormally tough colour (and I LOVE IT) because it's very much dependent on not only the light (natural/lamp, etc) but also of the things you put on.
In that, I remember once I painted a room grey, after trying what seemed like a million swatches, and when it finally was painted, I cried because what seemed like true grey looked almost purple/blue when on the walls.
When I put stuff on, it returned to its "true grey" colour.
Who knew.
YES.
I swore that I had my FIL and H paint our living room purple before I put stuff back in the rooms. But with furniture and accents it's a nice greige.
We just did our powder room in a slightly green-undertone gray. Valspar Hunter's White, I think. I love it, but there aren't any windows in that room, and I don't know how it would read with natural light.
