I Stopped Recommending Repose Gray by Sherwin Williams...

Custom Color Palettes: shop.thepaintp... Hey everyone, in this video, I'm going to tell you the reason why I stopped recommending Repose Gray by Sherwin Williams. After using Repose Gray for a few years, I was really happy with the results. However, after re-evaluating my options, I decided to switch things up a bit.

I still love it! I put the warmth with pillows and wood. Light Beige is too blah.

[@70sladyalways25]

There will always be trends. My thoughts are do what makes you happy with your space. JMO 😊

[@zelagrant3563]

I just painted my exterior of my house with Repose Gray, and I am getting so much compliments on this Colour…..l love it!!!

What trim color did you pair with it

I like repose grey still. Add some warm accents and it’s still beautiful to me :)

[@Neddymb.]

I work for SW, and Agreeable Gray and Accessible Beige seems to be getting more popular than Repose Gray.

[@dankoolaid3478]

I have accessible beige in my bedroom love it. Balanced beige in my living room. Not dark, not light, perfect warmth for me!

[@cathyhart3946]

I tried to like gray, but it always depressed me when I used it. I’m a warm color lover. My main walls are SW canvas tan and it feels cozy without being cloying. It’s been rare for me to ever truly enjoy being in a gray room. I never understood the long gray trend.

[@bellathereader1328]

Just built a new house and painted it SW Greek Villa. Love the warmer whites, creams, and beiges….

[@jaellouis4749]

I love it! Gray looks clean, fresh, and can be paired with any color. What I don't like are all the shades of browns...cream, beige, etc Those are oppressive. IMO

[@scrappylifter8318]

My timing is opposite of the trends. I've spent the last 10+ years with Kilim Beige (S-W) and it was fine. I've learned that I prefer cooler colors on the walls, so I'm using Pure White, Spare White, Sea Salt, and Fleur de Sel (all S-W) on my walls right now and I'm enjoying the change!

[@Camp9731]

Our house is painted in agreeable gray and anew gray. Soft yet light enough. White trim. Fireplace mantle in in Status Bronze on the same color swatch.

[@vivavita3769]

I still love repose gray. I tried tans and really hate them.

[@sarah8336]

I agree. I just had my new house painted repose.

[@jimtice6253]

Those of us who sat in gray fabric office cubicles for decades can hardly wait for this obsession with gray to pass. Give me color!

[@iTHX-7R3]

It’s a great neutral that suits a lot of spaces. Even if gray isn’t trending I wouldn’t turn my back on it. Personally I think the trends are leading people to colour pallets that will date poorly and will make people want to change their colour pallet again. Not good for the wallet or the environment but that’s marketing. The colour palette direction reminds me of the peach and sea green colours of the 90s that were trendy but didn’t date well in the long term. I would take a modern neutral like gray that suits many spaces any day over a limited bold colour that will become tiresome. I also think it’s best to look at the space and the things in it to pair colours not trends and if gray works to tie everything together use it.

[@curlyandstrong6798]

I agree 100 %! I prefer a "boring" gray over any bright color. Gray is timeless and neutral, and simply just goes with everything.

[@Patrickkanefan88]

I was on the grey train before the trend, and I’ll be on the grey train after the trend. 😄.

[@SteveL2012]

I was over gray before the pandemic. I actually like it if it is used with restraint. But when every tract house became all gray in various shades, in a misguided attempt to have a chic decor, I was done. In rebellion, I will not touch it (except in an undertone in natural stone) for now. I am sure a nice dark gray flannel chair or sofa will sneak back into my house one day. 😊

[@laurabfromvt6197]

I agree, in general, gray looks much better on upholstered furniture than on walls. (And for pants and jackets)

[@CelestialPulseX]

Just because SW designates a color of the year doesn't mean people will start using it. The color of the year is fugly and I can't see people running out to buy that color. Repose can be paired with brown, black, blues, greens, and purples since the color flexes. Personally, I've always loved the warmer end of paint colors. SW accessible beige has a green undertone too which drives me crazy.

[@saramoore1772]

Preach!

[@melojansan]

Love my Repose Gray and changing it gives me anxiety! 😅 More so, I was thinking of paring it with Paris Rain from BM to bring in a little sage green.

[@mariacorinaperez6755]

I combined it with a dark teal looks good what color do you combine for exterior shutters or door? Ian getting use to the color but I like it my house was yellow 😂

[@ravenlake9873]

I used to hate gray but I seem to have come around just as they're going out of fashion. I like the really interesting grays, though, not those horrid battleship cold grays that flippers seem to love. The house we bought in January has a medium-light gray with green undertone on every wall and ceiling, and I like that it looks different depending on the light! I probably won't keep it long-term, it's not colorful enough. But I've really come to like the "color+gray" paint colors, they show off art nicely and are easier to live with than more saturated colors.

[@maunarose]

From a member of Team Color: For walls and soft furnishings, I love all grays that have at least a dash of violet.

[@dhrtiwalter8670]

I recently had professionally painted open living, dining, kitchen with Benjamin Moore walls Wish AF-680; trim Pure White OC-64, doors Storm AF-700. Great paint job. Don’t like the gray though it’s warm. Love the darker doors only it’s all too blue or whatever it is. Good thing is I feel less anxious about painting and trying different things than I was before. Gotta trust your gut.

[@melissahoffman1754]

In my home, Repose has a blue undertone. Doesn’t read cold gray at all.

[@taradanner8914]

I have never liked the cooler tones and my last name is “Gray” lol. But I have always been drawn to warmer tones. I think they make a house a home. Cozy.

[@tracymorgan1780]

I covered my repose gray with iron ore on an accent wall and covered the rest with alabaster white. But after two coats of the alabaster, I swear I still see some of the gray. Maybe it needs one more coat. Idk. But maybe it’s picking up the tones from the iron ore.

[@gardenbugc4056]

Whatever color makes you feel calm and happy in your home is the right color for you. Don't follow trends, go with your heart, you can always repaint if needed when ready to sell. I personally feel calm with shades of light gray. Tans and beiges depress me and feel dirty. To each their own.

[@vmcurry1]

Greig is so over. I have Maria Killiam's color wheels to confirm undertones then I use the actual huge real painted color boards to select hard shapes and wall colors.

[@ltaylor2238]

I was considering it for my living room which has a red accent wall but now I am concerned it will look green against that. I have a big swatch sitting on top of the fireplace mantel next to SW grayish and I don't know! Repose looks muddy and I see the green undertone, the grayish looks clean and bright to me which I prefer but then that is said to have a purple undertone? And SW grayish is not a popular color so that concerns me. I'm driving myself crazy, I need professional help!

[@leticiavillarreal3689]

No gray! Is anyone thinking of painting their bedroom this season? What colors are relaxing for the bedroom?

[@ravenlake9873]

I did Quiet Moments by BM (Healing Aloe on the ceiling) in my bedroom earlier this year. If I had it to do over again I'd have gone darker with Beach Glass or even the one below it, but that whole card is so pretty and restful!

[@SteveL2012]

Yes, blues (or greens) in a bedroom. Blue can be a neutral. Another current option is the very soft and light pink/peachy colors. They will enhance your complexion in the boudoir. LOL! But seriously the right shade works to cast a warm glow.

[@2028end]

If you add a little red to repose gray it will get rid of that "green" hue, right?

[@taps4615]

My last house was a new build and it was covered in this paint. It’s pretty but over time I started to hate it.

[@_wesleyhome_]

I agree that everyone is (thankfully) moving away from gray, but I disagree with you on the cause. I think it was influenced MUCH more by quarantine than anything a paint company brings out as a COTY. It's one thing to come home to gray when you're out all the time and are being exposed to a ton of visual stimulation (especially in big cities where I think gray always had a stronger hold than outside urban centers). It's something else when you're stuck with your four walls, you can't go out, everything is closed, people are dying, and the news is nonstop depressing. Who wants to see a color palette (to the extent that there was one) that is just as blah and depressing? The COTY's didn't kill gray, Covid did.

[@magenta4443]

Looks like the taupes might be replacing the greys.

[@vivavita3769]

Not for me. Taupes look boring.

[@coastaldiva]

Repose is okay, there are other grays i love more. Im a gray lover. Beige never

[@PrettyGoodLookin]

Which ones ?

[@coastaldiva]

@@PrettyGoodLookin stonington gray, balboa mist , classic gray

[@vassybaby16]

I just painted 70% of my home interior this color 😅

[@thepaintpeople]

I’m sure it looks great! No sweat :)

[@kerrygauffin2946]

A year ago we bought a new home and it’s painted repose gray. What color do you recommend we paint it now?

[@bettymasching1878]

I know you're Canadian, but you say "y'all" like a true Texan! Keep up the good work! Oh, and I like your videos. I'm thinking of trying reddened point in my bedroom.

[@lindaeshbach6494]

All I can say is Thank God! I'm so sick of gray ,PERIOD!

[@Card_Crazed]

I am seeing a lot of red undertones in trending colours. It seems like the 1990s are back (yuck). I do LOVE BM Tofino Sunset as a colour, but, for my space, I don't know that it'd work all that well. very little natural light, and it comes from the northeast. I also like BM's starry night blue. Not much in Sherwin Williams colours that I like, as they all seem to have a LOT of grey in them (muted)

[@LULC0759]

What about Anew gray….isn’t it warmer?

[@webbersmells]

My main floor is anew gray and I love it! It definitely looks more like a taupe with the lighting

[@gamingwithdummies3960]

What grey are you using in the back of this video?

[@notpipa_]

Would you still recomend Mindful Gray (SW7016) based on this video?

[@beverlywilliams7278]

A builder painted almost every wall in a house we bought repose gray. I'm so sick of everything being gray and white. BTW, we moved and the walls are a delightful green.

[@FJR-bg6ym]

Please review Sherwin-Williams Rivers Edge SW 7517

[@vmcurry1]

Grey is for grey personality people. I'm a light sky blue person. You shouldn't notice the color. You should just feel good

[@Bmac2324]

I painted a wall repose gray. I repainted it in 3 days. I should have painted it agreeable gray. People thought my wall was purplely… I painted wrought iron. Best decision I made.

[@Loripleas]

What SW gray will go best with Jade Garden? Thank you!

What is the color of your background in this video?

[@SteveL2012]

Yes, the irony should not be lost.

[@Christinelockhartbrown]

@@SteveL2012 Too funny, but I honestly would like to know the paint color as I really like it.

[@SteveL2012]

So sorry, I was projecting my snarky personality onto you. I have been accused of that by others before. LOL!

[@Be_Still_ps46.10]

I need a color for a big bathroom……helllllp

[@michaelduke4500]

I dislike grays as much as I disliked beige back in the day.

[@terrispielman3355]

I read all these glowing reviews and painted my entire house in Repose. I HATE it. Every room, every exposure, every time of day it's BLUE. Like Baby Blue. Yuck.

[@vmcurry1]

This blog no help. KZbin Maria killiam and her free blogs. She does SW also but I prefer BM.

[@cathyvalentin9620]

Too bad I just used it. 😂

[@wandadelacruz2486]

Repose is a nice color, but it’s time to move on.
