I did evergreen fog in my whole upstairs, bedrooms and all! It looks different in every room and I absolutely love it!

[@totallyalienish]

Oh gosh I agree!! I just keep on adding one more wall at a time with this color and its awesome. The hallways actually look dark and moody and I like it.

[@marviniraid205]

I just painted my kitchen October Mist and I am in love with it !!!

[@thepaintpeople]

We love to hear it Marvin!

[@eftychiacipriani6465]

Glad I found this video! Really helps me picking out my new hallway color. Thank you!!

[@thepaintpeople]

Glad it was helpful!

[@kanamichelle7404]

I prefer the softness and ethereal nature of October Mist. Plus it can almost qualify as semi-neutral, being so subtle. More like a backdrop than a feature.

[@thepaintpeople]

I hear that! Totally a personal preference thing!

[@christinelivebird]

The video I've been waiting for!!! You are the best!!

[@thepaintpeople]

Woohoo! We did it!

[@flowersafeheart]

Your videos are like made for me! Green is my favorite color and I've been learning more about paint while picking wall colors (mainly greens) for making over an entire finished basement. Been collecting fan decks haha.

[@thepaintpeople]

Been there with the fan decks!

[@a.l.rodenberg5146]

Would you do a breakdown of a color no one but me seems to be interested in? Behr's Perfect Taupe.

[@ltgemini1599]

Ooooo I'm interested!

[@thepaintpeople]

Ooo you got 9 votes for it so far! I do keep track of requests, stay tuned!

[@ltgemini1599]

I might be able to work it in with Evergreen Fog.😃

[@Littleorangecats]

I’m considering perfect taupe for my kitchen!

[@harpgal9950]

I have watched all your vids on the greens and agree that Olive Sprig is gorgeous. However, today I finally made a decision to go with Aganthus Green from BM (LRV 50.74). It's a lovely mid tone gray green that should work in several spaces. Thank you for your analysis.

[@thepaintpeople]

Nice, that's also a great green!

[@janetmcginty7712]

I like colours that can be two colours. Sometimes look green, or yellow. Purple or blue. So I liked the Olive sprig too.

[@totallyalienish]

I saw all the greens and then went with Evergreen Fog. I dont like mint - its not as muted for me. I like moody, earthy and i think it pairs very well with a lot of natural elements and woods.

[@joannhankins8610]

I am thinking of this in a room with north windows. Do you have any pictures where you used it?

[@arlenemango4742]

Just painted my kitchen October Mist. It’s a winner!

[@suavethreads8904]

What color did you pick for your cabinets? Struggling to decide

[@applepie6313]

Gettysburg Gray is the most elegant green! And great name too!

[@thepaintpeople]

You have a great name too Apple Pie!

[@kimcurnutt5104]

I chose Farrow & Ball Treron for my kitchen cabinets. Sometimes it looks almost blue gray. Period appropriate for 1910 bungalow. These greens had more of a mint feel to me? Odd?

[@SometimeAgo65]

October Mist for me 😉❤️ if I were going for an Olive color, it would have to be darker but I love Greens to. I love my many windows where I get to see greenery everywhere I glance. Ahhhh Nature

[@thepaintpeople]

Ahhh Nature indeed!!!!

[@maryjanedavidson2804]

I just painted my living room wall October Mist, I have a white fireplace that is about 10 feet wide on that wall, with a wool area rug with green tones and cream. We also have a dark gray leather couch and chair, I am thinking of painting the other walls a light beige color (walls used to be a mid gray and camel color). Which color would you choose for the other walls? oh all of our trim is white as well.

[@kandyaxelrod8797]

I could chat about paint and color all day. You're not alone

[@thepaintpeople]

oh there's a lot of us! haha!

[@sandyb6679]

My favorite is Evergreen Fog (SW) followed by Olive Sprig (PPG).... Would like to one in my dinning room, however I have not found a main color for my house yet... Was thinking Fleur De Sel by SW... Would love your opinion or even a suggestion as the suggested pairings are not my cup of tea.

[@thepaintpeople]

That colour looks great! Very fresh. For something just a bit brighter, you can also look at Reserved White!

[@suavethreads8904]

We have a small house and going with October mist 100% was thinking about steam for the ceilings and pairing it with hickory floors. It’s an open living room kitchen, what color would you recommend for the cabinets? Was thinking of a lighter shade of October mist like halo. Any input would be great, thank you.

[@marilynpeoples5099]

How do your “favorites “ do in east facing rooms ?

[@louisejeffries7155]

While appreciating the break down I made a snap decision October mist is my pick Maybe I’m bias due the name October But no I actually prefer it’s a bit cooler ? a little more blue leaning I didn’t think I liked Guacamole at all but seeing it again now I think I’ve had a change of heart October mist is still my best pick Great video I really enjoyed this content Seeing the colours together and then making best pick That’s fun Thanks

[@sonnymc4677]

Which color do you think would pair better with cherry wood bedroom furniture (reddish brown), Octorber Mist or Olive Sprig?

[@Shy411]

I just had my bedroom painted in October mist and refreshed it silver accents on the walls and compliment it with a chrome/silvery fandiler with crystals and, a grey fireplace TV stand and it came out so pretty. Originally I was going to go with Spring Meadow by Benjamin More but when I saw October Mist I changed my mind and glad that I did I like this color so much better. Question: Looking at your video and wanted to get an opinion and it could be just me. Don't you think Glidden's Guacamole kind of reminds you of Benjamin Moore's Spring Meadow? I was looking at the pictures you featured and that the comparison I got.

[@thepaintpeople]

Nice! They are close but BM Landscape might be a little closer!

[@tl8037]

Good morning fellow paint lovers. I personally am a huge lover of green. Could you please do a breakdown on my ultimate favorite color of all time Benjamin Moore's cc-696 Taiga. Thank you

[@thepaintpeople]

Hey hey, I do keep track of color requests. I can't get to them all, but trying to get to more of them this year. Happy New Year!

Thanks James!

I’m painting the outside of my house in Evergreen Fog! Doesn’t look dark at all in the Sun in Florida

[@camuchacustodio2661]

Hello which green would you recommend for kitchen cabinets...??

[@josephinevera9966]

Which one would you go with for a kitchen?

[@jessicafrye4543]

We’re redoing our master bath and I’m struggling to find the perfect green. During the day the large Payne window lets a lot of natural light in which tends to wash most colors out but we also have a lot of shadowed space... we’re using a marble tile on the shower wall, light grey color on the floor and we found a beautiful flat pebble stone for the shower floor with some forestry green/ emerald green stones with a washed out wood vanity, Black accents in the shower head and faucets. Help?!

[@thepaintpeople]

Hey Jessica, if you're worried about stuff getting washed out, try and stay around the 60 LRV range. :)

[@lexbraxman9270]

Nothing beats October Mist

[@dulcemontante2068]

I love evergreen fog for my dinning room and living room but not sure what color to paint my doors?

[@thepaintpeople]

Everygreen Fog looks great with whites, grays and blacks. You could look at Shoji White, Snowbound, but if you want darker, it pairs well with Urbane Bronze, or even Iron Ore.

[@JPEBeard]

I narrowed down two main house color (BM Edgecomb Gray and SW Accessible beige) and accent colors (BM October Mist, PPG Olive Sprig, and SW Escape Gray). Which main color and accent colors should I go with the best? Thank you

[@thepaintpeople]

Hi Je P, there are other things to factor in like furniture/flooring etc, but of these choices, I like Edgecomb and October Mist together. However, your best bet is to compare them all side by side with your furniture and other elements. I do have a video comparing Edgecomb and Accessible if that helps you make your decision. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zp-xoap3qphkg7c

[@michellebright8403]

I painted my bedroom green and it looks blue. You cannot tell that it’s green. On the wall in my bathroom, the same paint looks the color it is on the swatch.

[@thepaintpeople]

That can happen depending on the light. What color did you choose Michelle?

[@LagunaNiguelMom]

Can you please do a video on my favorite green, Urban Safari by Behr?

[@thepaintpeople]

What a color, what a vibe!

[@kellyfreed7208]

I'd love to use October Mist in my north facing living room, but I'm afraid it'll end up looking more "minty". Does it have enough warmth in it to combat the blue north light?

[@lorimurray283]

Could you recommend October mist as a color for the outside of a house especially a lake house

[@thepaintpeople]

Absolutely Lori! Cool, light, a bit dusty which helps with....well dust! Haha!

[@gailbradford305]

Love love green….SW Slate tile!!!!

[@aprilf7606]

Do you think October Mist with an LRV 46 be too dark for a entryway/hallway? The entryway gets quite a bit of natural light but leads into a hallway without much natural light so I'm confused as how dark I should go. I like deeper colours in general (living room is Sussex Green - LRV 19) but I don't want the whole house to feel TOO dark...Thanks!!

[@thepaintpeople]

Hi April! I don't think it's too dark, especially if you are getting some natural light. I think it will look lovely regardless. And Sussex Green is very close to Gloucester Sage which Benjamin Moore has on its palette for October Mist so it should pair well. For other more saturated color choices that pair well with October mist, you could have a look at High Park for something darker, or Wild Flower if you want to tap into some red/orange vibes. :)

[@aprilf7606]

@@thepaintpeople Very helpful. Thanks! Love your channel.

[@anthonylombardi3370]

What trim colors could you suggest with these colors?

[@thepaintpeople]

Hi Anthony, for Evergreen Fog I'd probably go something that had a little gray in the undertone, like Snowbound, but for October Mist, I might lean a little warmer like White Dove.

[@easternsecrecy9777]

October Mist beats Olive Sprig with me, too.

[@JPEBeard]

Which one of these will go better with Edgecomb gray as a transition or using one of these as an Accent wall?

[@thepaintpeople]

Hi there! Best to compare them side by side. Edgecomb gray has that subtle pink undertone that might come out next to the green, so have a look and see what feels right.

[@JPEBeard]

@@thepaintpeople Thank you Are you saying that the subtle pink would not be a good idea next to the green? Also I think Ocobermist has a more warmer feel and some yellow green tones right? What color do you think that would go with October Mist? We really like that color for accent wall or Room, but trying to get something that will go with it to make it pop plus not changing colors on me from the darker stairwell. A lot of colors are blue to me on the stairwell! Also I have currently Kilim Beige! What do you think about that with October Mist?

[@chrystalmarshall93]

Could you please recommend a good color for my very small bathroom that has 1 small window and bedroom with 2 small windows with little natural light in both. I'm a boho type of gal so I have browns, beige, green, whites, gold, a touch of black accent pieces in both spaces. So far I've tried Clary sage, balance green, and slow dance. I'm not a fan of either of those. I love sage but I'm afraid that it will be too dark . I've been looking for paint colors for a year. Lol! Seriously, please help. The whole east, west, north, south facing room rules are confusing and I don't want beige or gray colors.

[@thepaintpeople]

Hi Chystal, did you look at Softened Green and Livable Green? Do you like warmer olive vibe? Contented is a littler cooler, kind of a darker version of Sea Salt, which I also really like.

[@dhrtiwalter8670]

Of the last two like he figures most people might prefer October Mist like I also prefer, I think but I haven’t watched the Olive Sprig video yet and maybe I’ll change my mind. #question: anyone know if the couch in October Mist is gray or blue? I have a light navy blue sofa like mid-toned blue jeans and honey oak trim and ceiling (🤮) and need to know if October Mist would fair well. Anyone?

[@thepaintpeople]

Hi there, it's tough to say without seeing it all together, but the couch is a blue/gray and I personally like a variety of blue/green combos. October Mist does look nice with earth tones so I think it could look nice with the honey oak, but again, best to try a bit on the wall near the couch and literally sit with it. :)

[@dhrtiwalter8670]

@@thepaintpeople I’m going to do just that! Thank you!!!!!

[@gailremp8389]

Ouch...RFog? Ouch. I put urbane bronze in my foyer with a 15 panel door and it looks nice as I have the white ceramic tile coming in and works into the kitchen. It looks better than it sounds. Now I'm wondering if the evergreen fog is going to be too much working its way through. Ouch. Damn.

[@suzettesmith2075]

That's funny you say that about the first paint color. I have a sample of it on my living room wall. My colorblind husband likes it but it didn't work for me.

[@thepaintpeople]

What are you leaning towards instead Suzette?

[@suzettesmith2075]

@@thepaintpeople more of a warm beige color and then maybe a medium brown for the paneling

[@Card_Crazed]

I have lots of cool lighting, so Breezeway is my green colour of the year.... everything else is way too yellow, and in my lighting the yellow would stand out more than the green.

[@thepaintpeople]

Yeah, nice to find that balance.

[@gailremp8389]

OK I bought Evergreen for when we fell in love with it when you first talked about it. I'm running it through my family room and want to do it in my kitchen. But now I'm looking at a blank canvas and that off-white and wondering if I could do something with it because I have white ceramic tile in the kitchen. And I have six cats. Need I say more? So I'm curious on the other green colors. But I love Evergreen fog. It looks friggin fantastic on any wall I stick it in. And I am in Central Florida. In a hurricane is on the way this week. With September 25, 2022 now and with my luck or maybe my luck, liberty mutual can build me a new house super hurricane blows up my whole place. Then I can start to pick what to do the next time. Ha ha. So let's get with the video. Thank you

[@shadrach6299]

Breezeway is beautiful

[@HeidiJohnson01]

There are two criteria all of my greens must have or they are immediately eliminated: the color must match my complexion and match the foliage of plants.

[@Kathy-cu4ss]

How do I ensure that greeniege doesn’t turn mint on me

[@thepaintpeople]

Hi Kathy, there's several factors to consider, your lighting, what the undertones are, what else is in the space etc. Because even with something like green, you can have a colder, blue undertone green, or a warmer yellow undertone one. So, if your room is north facing for example, northern light is cooler (meaning it could make the walls look more blue/green) so you can compensate for that by going warmer with your paint colors, or with the lighting you choose in your home. Your best bet is to test colors at various times of the day to see how they respond.

[@jackieliu1232]

i really want a darker green for cabinet, any recommendations? Thanks

[@louisejeffries7155]

I’m really wanting BM Gulford green on my cabinets and pale oak on the walls Natures reflection is nice if you like a deeper colour Salamander if you’re up for a very dark blackish green

[@thepaintpeople]

I concur that Salamander is very popular among designers but also check out another fave of mine, Benjamin Moore Garden Cucumber.

[@aldeanriddy3512]

I am a bit concerned about yellow being an undertone in your pick for green, colour for 2022, due to many different woods (traditional home has some red in wood panels) which also has more colours. Grey stone fireplace, pink undertone tiles,

[@thepaintpeople]

I think green/grays look great with woods. You could also look for a cooler color if you're concerned about the yellow. In terms of the pink undertone tiles, finding grays with a bit of red might pacify those tiles a bit. I did just do a video on grouges kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJXNl2qXg7uVp6s

[@ml_haskell3854]

This makes me a little sad. THESE ARE ALL GRAYS with hints of green!! Ok, well, not the avocado, but it still pretty washed out. Just saying. I'm done with millennial gray. Also white-on-white. Both are making me go a little snow-blind. Recently, I was a guest in a living room with massive windows that looked out into a wooded lot. The walls were painted a super-saturated emerald, a dark, forest green. Lots of depth in the color. Room seemed to be different colors, depending on whether a wall was in sunlight, lamplight, or shadow. The hue did not appear to be grayed down with lampblack. The effect was to highlight the outdoors-coming-in through the windows. Spectacular. Not for every room in every home, but it is leading me to look at richer wall color.

I want you to have a laugh out loud moment dear sir. You are probably familiar with Jackson Galaxy, the guy that's the cat person and he's overly dramatic and talks about our cats and what we are supposed to do so they won't/our throats in the middle of the night. And between him, and you it is always a hoot. Then we got the deal guy up in Candela talks about for 10 best thing you should be buying a certain month at Aldi's or target or Costco. He's a hoot. And then a couple of the decorators, Garrett LaChuc is a mess. But he's so delightful with his dogs and he's just super helpful (@ times.) and he appreciates interesting blues in his home. So he loves the interesting contrast is very mid-century modern and conventional. Which is fine. and you got Nick up in Canada who is quite on ask in ideas. Kiva is wonderful. All of the others just seem like I don't know maybe they're too young for me or something. I happen to like some logic behind something that I should consider. So I come to you. Ha ha. . So there are some great people out there and I appreciate you being one of my favorites. And that meant absolutely nothing towards Evergreen Fog but that's still my vote. Thanks
