    Hi Laura, I am about to repaint my kitchen cabinets either a really light gray or white and would love your advice please. My walls in the kitchen and living area are sea salt, trim is white. My kitchen back splash is white subway tile. My kitchen is pretty small, however the space opens up to the living and dining area (not closed off).
    Thank you, Dani

      Hi Dani,

      I love Sea Salt! Drift of Mist could definitely work. A few others to try are: Worldly Gray or Agreeable Gray. Get a few samples of them all and test them out in your lighting next to SS.

      If you are still having trouble, please feel free to contact me for a Color Consultation. I would love to help further! Thanks so much for reaching out and have a great week!

    I’m looking at Drift of Mist for walls pretty much throughout my house. It’s a small house with open living to kitchen. The house is fairly dark so I want something to brighten up the rooms. But I’m afraid it may be too bright when there is good light or when lights are on. I’m going from warmer to cooler neutrals. Currently I have Relaxed Khaki in my living room and it’s just dim, so I don’t want anything in that range. I also like Agreeable Gray but am afraid it may tend to the dimmer look I currently have.
    Thanks.

      Hi Pam,

      Drift of Mist would definitely lighten it up! I think you are on the right track. I might also consider a gray or greige with a slight blue undertone so there is some color, but not too dark for your spaces. If you would like more help finding the right color, I would love to assist you with a Color Consultation! I can view pictures of your space and recommend a color that will work.

      Thanks so much,
      Laura

      Hi Flora,

      There are lots of choice, it may depend on other colors that you have going on in other rooms. I would choose a shade that will contrast against the Drift of Mist but still coordinate with the gray undertones. Laundry rooms are fun spaces to use brighter and different colors that you may not use in a common area of the home. Have fun with it! Find a piece of art in your home and pull out a color from it to go in your laundry room.

      If you would like help finding a specific color, I would love to assist you with a Color Consultation! I can help you nail down that perfect color for your space. Thanks for reaching out and I hope to hear from you soon!

    Hello,
    We are using Drift of Mist on our walls and I’d like to repaint my kitchen cabinets. Do you think Repose Gray would be a good choice?

      Hi Jill,

      Drift of Mist is a gorgeous color! I am pretty traditional when it comes to kitchen cabinet colors and I like the timeless and classic look of white cabinets. I know the trend is more of a gray cabinet color, which is pretty, but will get outdated eventually. You can’t go wrong with white cabinets! They are not going out of style any time soon. If you want to do something a little bit different, you could do an accent color on your island cabinets. I might go a bit darker than Repose Gray, though!

      Thanks for reaching out,
      Laura

      Hi Eileen,

      I would categorize Drift of Mist as having a “greige” undertone, which is basically a mix of beige and gray. So, it sounds like it is a good fit for what you are after! Test out a sample on a large piece of cardboard to see how it looks in your lighting.

      Let me know what you decide!

      Thanks so much,
      Laura

    I love Drift Of Mist. I was going to use it on my walls but I like it so much I am thinking it would be best for my kitchen cabinets. The quartzite I am using is white but not the pure white. I don’t want the counter tops to look dirty against a white cabinet. Could you suggest a color white for the cabinets if I do the Drift of Mist on the walls? Also if I do the Drift of Mist for the cabinets what color should I do the walls that is not too dark?

    Maybe they could darken the Drift of Mist a little so I would have some contrast. What do you think?

    Thank you for your help!

      Hi Cindy,

      I would get a sample of Drift of Mist and see how it looks next to your countertops. That will be your deciding factor! If it goes well, then look on the Drift of Mist paint swatch to see if there is a color a bit darker that could work for your walls.

      Let me know if I can help you nail down the right colors through an Interior Color Consultation:

      If I can view pictures of your quartzite I can help you find the right color for your cabinets and wall. I look forward to hopefully hearing from you!

      Thanks so much,

    Hello! I just had my north facing living room painted drift of mist and now my living room looks white, light blue, or lavender depending on time of day and angles. It looked great on the Swatch, but I wasn’t sure about it when I painted samples on the walls. My painters assured me it would look great and I’m having a hard time liking it. It was painted over a mustard yellow from the previous owners. I don’t want to change the paint color now, bc they are done with walls but saving accent wall over fireplace for last bc I was indecisive. What accent color wall do you think will help bring this room together a bit? The fireplace is oak (which I will paint white once a few other home projects are done) and there is white trim plus oak beams. I’m at a loss!

      Hi Carol,

      I would say that Drift of Mist leans a bit more gray than beige. Colors can be tricky, so test it out first before committing! Let me know if I can help you find the right color through an Interior Color Consultation. Thanks for reaching out!

    Is drift of mist going to make the house grey or more white and beige? I have an open floor plan with one window being south east in dining room, and the sliding glass door is south west light. I am goinf for a coastal farmhouse look with light grey couch and aqua green accents, white distressed furniture. Would drift of mist work on the walls without making space look too sad? I have an iland in kitchen I would paint a pop color….God knows what. Lol thanku so much

    I am in the process of building a new home. It’s an open concept with lots of windows facing the West–evening sun. I decided on Repose Gray for the walls and Ceiling Bright White for the trim and ceiling. I was thinking of doing Drift of Mist for the cabinets. I don’t want to go too modern with the gray/white trend. Will drift of Mist give me enough of the “traditional beige” look I want? Darken it? Or do you suggest a different beige color? I want a timeless look. Thank you!
