Quick correction: The image for Penthouse is labelled as Cake Batter, which is incorrect. It's Penthouse! Carry on. 😎

[@lesleewatson4266]

I thought maybe he was highlighting that “Cake batter” was the white walls/cabinets included in the image of Penthouse? Maybe.

[@constancemartin933]

I'd like you to compare Brandy Cream and Old Country. I'm trying to find a wall colour to work with dark brown engineered wood floors which has peach-red in the grain. The two mentioned above seem to have the red. I have a hunch Old Country would be more suited. This is an 1880 log construction, completely renovated with gyproc walls but retains heavy, dark brown beams in the ceiling. I have an off white/taupe/greige stone brick wall in my kitchen, housing a wall oven and plumbing. I thought if I paint my kitchen cabinets Kingsport Gray, the stone wall would 'talk' to them, while Old Country walls might speak to the floor.

[@tara5742]

As a color layman, I find descriptions of the undertones and what it’ll look like under different light extremely helpful! The most helpful visually is the inserted pictures of that color on a wall in a room. I wonder if others would click on these more If the thumbnails included one or two of these pictures?

[@thepaintpeople]

Good suggestion! I might have to implement that!

[@elspeth8476]

Thank goodness for these videos! I keep staying up way too late trying to figure out paint colors and create a more or less unified theme, and these videos help lower my color choosing insecurities.

[@cahenglish]

"safe and pedestrian" - I agree. I like COLOR. Thanks, James, for introducing me, in another video, to Valspar's Cherry Taupe! Looking for an opportunity to use it.

[@muddyooch]

You had me at the new 'go to' color of Plaster of Paris, which took the whole video, but loved all of your info! Thanks, my decisions just got a lot easier!

[@mattrihs1332]

This is great. Cake batter would be a great main color. Could see it used on the walls with oak cabinets in a kitchen, when someone doesn't want to paint their oak, and help tone down the oak.

[@lesleewatson4266]

This series is my first go to. I do explain to my clients that these delicious colors morph through the day a lot (which I like) but they need to be chosen carefully to morph together well. They can only be made up in the Aura product. I love them. Great explaining. Thank you.

[@thepaintpeople]

Appreciate it Leslee!

I look forward to watching your latest videos each week. Could you please suggest colors for dark rooms facing a certain direction (east, west, etc). Also, a segment on what colors go with different wood tones would be wonderful. Thank you!

[@constancemartin933]

Exactly what I'd like! Ty!

[@tinalou3315]

My friend just painted her entire house in plaster of Paris. It’s gorgeous. The colors are different under different lighting conditions. Just incredible!

[@delladearest2511]

Beautiful modern grays ❣️

[@tessadubois3679]

I have a whole house interior I need to paint and picking paint for each room is overwhelming! I can't even really see samples on the wall because of how much the preexisting paint color cast red on light colors.. Now I'm considering something like a plaster of Paris just to wipe the current hideous paint pallet. Plaster of Paris on all the walls and Chantilly lace for the trim. I feel like then I could go back and do accent walls, or at least invision something other than the crazy orange, burgandy, and brown scheme the previous owner just adored.

[@findingthesimilarity]

I’m most excited about pent house, but plaster of Paris looks incredible too! Thanks for the video!!

[@thepaintpeople]

You're very welcome!

[@rayak7071]

[@bzlou7097]

I think I could really go for Plaster of Paris for every room of my condominium. Thanks for sharing it, and all of the new neutrals, with us.

[@thepaintpeople]

One and done!

[@catherinern747]

So I have a new white kitchen and got a sample of Ally’s earnings, my walls are currently a medium green and need to lighten them up, I’m thinking I like it but no eye for color or design so I may get a few more samples, maybe something a tad darker with a bit more grey/green before final decision but Ally’s earring is really growing on me the more I look at it on different walls. Thanks for all the info!

[@Wordsmyth8]

I liked all of them except for the more gray grays, but I think my favorite is Plaster of Paris.

[@thepaintpeople]

I like it too!

[@kristaself126]

Oh my god . . . "Plaster of Paris" CSP-185 is B E A U T I F U L. I'm going the Benji's today! Loved this video.

[@evitarudzite2632]

I have penthouse as my whole house color for 6 years already. It has held up phenomenal. Kids handprints blend in. :) I used eggshell sheen and matte in one room. Matte somehow brings green out while eggshell is quite taupe in comparison. I also wonder if formula changed or the eggshell paint aged because there was 6 years in between these 2 sheens. I also have Alleys earring in kids bedrooms. It’s light, sometimes looks barely there gray and sometimes - barely there yellow. It goes very well with bright clean colors.

[@nayelitorres825]

Sea salt is beautiful!

[@tessjones5987]

Plaster of Paris for landlords. Sea Salt for my own home.

[@jtang4513]

Any chance you could review farrow and ball colors?

[@vikkif7]

Pent House is my fav then Sea Salt. ❤️

[@nikkihudak6877]

After watching this helpful video, I started to look more closely at the CSP colors. Please consider doing a video on Paper Doll (CSP-485) and Barely There (CSP-725). I found Paper Doll listed as a purple, but on my walls it's a fascinating light neutral - almost like a Calm with a touch of green undertones. It could be an amazing light neutral for those with the right lighting. Take a look at it. Barely there is also an amazing light neutral. Take a look.

[@gailhill8114]

I love Sea Salt and Penthouse - both CSP colors. Building a new house in Austin, Texas and thinking of potential colors for my two story entry walls.

[@aidagonzalez1886]

What gray is the same hue as Kilz2 Gray primer? We love the xolor and want to paint the kitchen.

[@maryannshannon6791]

I would be interested in your take on PPG. Color Shark. And Gypsum

[@m.s.6586]

Hey guys thank you for these videos! I am creating a color palette for my apartment and this is amazing! I am loving your videos! was wondering if you have or thinking of doing a video on how to select wall and furniture colors/shades/tones etc to to vest suit your flooring type and color. For example, I have walnut laminate and want to paint my study walls a nice light yellow (maybe hex FFF0AD) and my bookcase and closet in a nice super dark purple to Xiketic). But I worry the yellow may clash with flooring.

[@thepaintpeople]

That's definitely the type of content we want to build towards. We're mainly focussed on paint, but dabbling in design would be fun!

[@jahdejah]

i like skipping stone. I am waiting for you to give a tutorial on Brown. That is where i leaning now i am planning to repaint.

[@zachlarson2520]

Could you make a video on how to chose paint for a room which has raw natural wood accents?

[@ticktock2383]

Any paint with a yellow undertone will compliment the wood

[@judymiller5154]

I'm a total color newbie. My self-expression during my current paint experience has been sadly limited to "oh, darn, not at all what I was going for". What do I need to look for in a warm neutral wall in a guest bath that will NOT turn pink in the afternoon sun?

[@DMyersRNPACU]

Can you compare the paint color Swiss coffee in the Behre and Ben. Moore brands?

[@lisaolivia8300]

[@faithwilson2189]

Could you please talk about greenish neutrals

[@StrangeDisposition]

I did a search for “Perspective paint” and this video came out and I am so glad it was actually mentioned. I am going to try it as a main color! You had me at “freshly poured concrete” 🤤. It would be nice to have a whole video on it wink wink 😉. Wall Street looks like a nice color, too bad I would never try it based on the name 🤣, too many associations with Corruption!

[@thepaintpeople]

Haha! I love how Wallstreet is out but "freshly poured concrete" is in!

[@rachelsavard851]

how does the nuances in this paint compare to farrow and ball?

[@jhenniceamorrow5936]

Plaster of Paris. Would that work with southwest desert 🌆 colors? I want a whole house wall color to accompany desert sunset colors (accent palette).

[@wojackhorseman2921]

I'm thinking of going Japandi, and looking for some good color options to make it work. Maybe these would be good for it? Perhaps some of the 2022 greens would be nice as well 🤔 Hoping you do a video on Japandi

[@thepaintpeople]

It's been requested so it's on the list!

[@stephannieroy2924]

Loving your videos. I'm going to use Aegean Teal on an accent wall but need a main room colour for my main floor open concept space. I'm not loving greige and my house doesn't have a lot of natural light. Some good suggestions to consider in your video.

[@HEARTANDSOULOFMINE]

If it matters to you, supposedly accent walls have been outed as of 2021.

[@constancemartin933]

What colour, including undertones, is your flooring and what exposures are your windows? I have a similar situation as you have described, I think. My open concept has two larger southfacing windows, an east and west facing window.

[@ankanray02]

Hi James.. thanks again for guiding us on painting. Quick question. What is the best color combination with Revere Pewter. I am trying paint my entry with a different color and little bit deeper than Revere Pewter. I was thinking of Cosmopolitan . Any other suggestion please.

[@thepaintpeople]

Revere Pewter shines with bold color accents, but is also soothing and relaxing with calm cool colors like blue or green. You'll want to sample this color before committing because, like most greiges, your available light can change this color from light to dark quickly.

[@anitaspiro9442]

I love all the neutrals you are highlighting. If the family room /kitchen walls are BM 199 barley and the trim is mayonnaise, what neutral would you suggest as an accent color. The floor as white oak natural stain. What would you suggest for cabinets or counters?

[@thepaintpeople]

Hard to say without seeing the space. Have you looked at BM Wild Mushroom for an accent?

[@anitaspiro9442]

@@thepaintpeople I will look at that color and maybe consider it for the general tone of the cabinets or countertop? Would you like to see a snapshot of the room now?

[@cindymacdonald5611]

Great information!! Just one correction, Benjamin Moore Aura paint colours are completely different than Colour Stories paint colours. I have Sea Salt in my hallway and love it!! Thanks again!!

[@thepaintpeople]

Are you referring to the Affinity Color Collection?

[@alicias312]

I love the videos but what do you suggest for a white paint with gray undertones? My cabinets are white. Floor is gray. I need something to offset the two colors so it wont be over bearing on both.

[@lilakaye1505]

Sherwin Williams Crushed Ice is a neat color. It’s classed as an off white with with gray undertones. It’s warm and light. I think a light blue-gray would be really pretty or a light sage green if you want a bit more color.
