Color Consultations, Schemes & Reviews by Laura Rugh

    I’m building a new home and can’t make a decision on colors. I keep leaning towards SW Popular Gray for the walls, although I keep second guessing that it may be too light and should go a little darker. I love taupe and don’t want an actual gray. I will have the cabinets and trim painted a white, but again can’t decide. For a counter top I’m looking at Kashmir White granite but I’m afraid of choosing a too bright white paint for cabinets as the granite is creamier. Floors will be greige colored wood.
    FYI, house will face south with 3 sets of triple French doors, so there will be a lot of light.
    Thanking you in advance,
    Judy

      Hi Judy,

      I just heard from a friend that she loves Popular Gray in her home! Test out a sample in your space to see how it looks in your lighting and if you think you want to go a bit darker. I also have some other taupes that are great choices if you would like a warmer neutral.

      Let me know if I can help through a Color Consult! A trim and cabinet color is included. 🙂

      Thanks so much,
      Laura

    I am trying to decide between popular gray and respose gray for kitchen cabinets. Plenty of light, medium toned wood floors, white backsplash and counter tops. I love the soft appearance of the popular gray, however, I can’t help think it looks pink at times. Any advice would be much appreciated!

      Hi Kelly,

      I would go with Repose Gray. I have seen some gorgeous cabinets in Mindful Gray (one shade darker) and Repose Gray would be lovely too! Popular Gray does have a slight mauve undertone that may be causing it to look pink in your lighting. Keep me posted on your progress!

      Thanks for reaching out,
      Laura

    Hi Laura,
    We’re repainting and used Popular Gray in our living room that faces SW. We love the mauvy undertones, which play nicely with the cherry toned wood of our furniture and slightly golden brown/reddish tones in our upholstery (yes, Tuscan of old!). We want to extend it to the adjoining small but 2-story foyer which has yellow/orange toned oak floor (yuck) and builder taupey carpet on the stairs. Surprisingly it seems to look colder than in the living room, but could that be because of the overwhelming yellow toned floor and the SW Beeswax walls/ceiling from the former owner? Yes, it’s currently a *very* yellow space! Any comments?
