I have used revere pewter for years as my main color and it works everywhere. Goes with many accent colors and decor too. You cannot go wrong with this color. It pairs nice with Kendall charcoal and Chelsea Grey.

[@lillieberger2883]

I took someone’s advice and bought several paint samples and large paint boards from the craft store. I painted my samples side by side on the white paint board and viewed them in the rooms I was intending on using them. Revere pewter screamed greenish brown, Balboa mist was pink, Gray owl was green and Edgecomb gray was just right. I then made a large sample size board of the Edgecomb gray and brought it into the room. It’s a really lovely color but just doesn’t work with the dark gray cabinets and trim. I would definitely need to change all of that to make it work. So I’m still looking.

[@mamadontteach4202]

Thank you SO MUCH Mr. Owens for taking time to explain all this in layman's terms. I've been fretting far too long over the right paint colors and they NEVER look the same in my house as they do online or in the paint store with that fluorescent lighting. This was top-notch education in the technical stuff I've not been fortunate to have had thoroughly explained until now. It really helped a lot!

[@hayleydoorenbos2933]

Wow excellent video thank you!

[@valkyriesardo278]

Beautifully explained and each point clarified by an illustrative sample. Thank you and my compliments. I've been listening to many people expound on paint color and all of them were confusing.

[@carolinetattoo4072]

I have revere pewter in my entire home. Our house is about 700 ft.² so it’s very tiny. The colour works super well with pastel tones and pops of brighter colors. It is so neutral and I really like how bright yellows, pastel pink, soft blues, light grays, and medium yellow wood tones look with it. In certain spots of my house it has almost a purple undertone, other spots it has a green undertone, it does change from room to room and with lighting. If I were to repaint my home in this colour again I might add white to it. Sometimes it is slightly dark in certain areas of the house.

[@valerie4975]

My husband and I laugh because every time we change a color in a room it goes to RP - now 90% of the house is RP. We just painted the outside RP LOL The only place it did not work was a bathroom with no natural light - too green. Still look good but again - green.

[@dougcoleburn1579]

Very nice. Im using this paint along with Edgecomb gray in different rooms.

[@Donna-vh5ym]

Jacob....thank you so much. The education is on point. I just love your channel, but PLEASE do some Sherwin Williams exterior. ❤❤

[@JacobOwensDesigns]

Thank you for your kind words and happy to have your here:) I will add it to my list of videos😊

[@JanetJenkins]

I'll pass on Revere Pewter. It's pretty, but I like violet/purple undertones in my grays, it goes well with my floors, counter top and other decor. This is great information that you are providing!! Thank you!

[@JacobOwensDesigns]

Hi Janet:) Happy to hear from you and I wish you the best:)

[@lesliemccarrick9313]

Interesting! I've had the absolute best luck with Revere Pewter. I would and do recommend it to everyone. It's a GREAT neutral color! I've used it for every room in my house (including North and South Facing rooms) and also used it at my workplace in three different departments. Your example of the North facing room looks just like my Kendall Charcoal that I use for accent walls. Everyone has different likes and dislikes I suppose. As for me, I say Revere Pewter all the way. :)

[@JacobOwensDesigns]

Hi Leslie:) Thank you for sharing your experience with Revere Pewter! I'm happy for you and I'm glad it's worked out for you:)

[@caitlinreising9075]

It’s so funny, I have revere pewter in my south east facing hallway. It’s beautiful in the morning, looks beige in the evening. Then I put it in my morning room and it looks super gray.

[@nothingcatchy7177]

I mixed half BM revere pewter and half SW perfect greige (tiny bit more pewter) and it came out to a beautiful perfect shade for me. the pewter was too light, and perfect greige was too dark and not neutral enough (although I love it in my bedroom) I so appreciate watching your videos

[@JacobOwensDesigns]

Hi there, I've never heard of someone mixing these two paint colors before, sounds like it turned out beautifully for you! That's awesome and thank you for sharing:)

[@corteltube]

I have it in a north room and a south…looks great in both luckily…different but both…I have no reds or pinks…so I think maybe that’s why…

[@trishahenderson3407]

i used revere pewter on my lower level and i do love it !!! but i wasnt sure abouit it til igot it on my walls , ,,,i didnt know it was so popular .but have been learning it is .. it goes beautifully with the classic grey...im trying to decide now if i should continue with it because i love it so much to take it up the steps and upper living area or go with a different shade or color ,,,tough decisions,, thank you for your input

what white paint for the wall goes well with Revere Pewter?

[@hayleydoorenbos2933]

Hi I would like finding the right colours or my home but can’t seem to go to your webpage?

[@ericmann6158]

You are BRILLIANT. I LOVE the information that you share......can you please sit on your hands?

[@MikeL0084]

Great video Jacob. Seems like Revere Pewter is most common in these very modern/HGTV style homes. I personally have natural red oak floors in my home with that slight pink undertone to them. You would not suggest Revere Pewter for me?

[@JacobOwensDesigns]

Hi Michael, that is correct but again it's hard to say without any visuals of your interior decor and fixed elements. I wish you the best and thank you for the kind words:)

What is best color wood floor with revere pewter my husband does not want gray

[@dianethompson9877]

Someone has suggested I use Revere Pewter paint to go with my Boho Shower certain. I wanted to add a picture of my shower curtain, but it doesn't allow that. Of course, my Boho shower curtain has many many bright colors in it. After watching this tutorial I am to sure what to do.

[@theresaduckett4551]

So this is my issue. I have an open concept house with dark smoked chestnut wood plank flooring and all the walls are beige with pink/red undertones, with the exception of the kitchen which is red. I only want to paint the kitchen wall and want to lighten it up (not a lot of natural light either). Is there a gray, taupe, griege color that will complement the other beige walls with pink undertones?

[@lorialonzo3189]

Do you have a review on the color essential gray by Sherwin-Williams?

[@annasullivan4719]

My mother in law has RP throughout her home and paired it with BM’s white dove trim and doors. My white dove looks so much creamier than hers and it’s paired with sw mindful gray. Is my gray what is making my trim more creamy than hers looks. I’m contemplating a change from mindful to RP to help my trim look whiter. I’d change the trim but our cabinets are also white dove and anything whiter will make them look too creamy. Right now, the cabinets look whiter than the trim and doors but I think it’s because it’s a conversion varnish. The trim being so creamy has been driving me nuts for the last two years! Please help!

[@stcean]

Are Revere Pewter and Grey Owl basically the same color?

[@kathleenwrobel7407]

I love your videos. I'm about to work on a large Victorian with rooms that face many directions, some within the same room. For example, the kitchen has windows with a southern exposure and also windows with a northeastern exposure.I am comfortable with schemes for the rooms, but how do I try to unify things like trim if I use the same trim color? Chantilly Lace is my favorite and coordinates with the one thing that won't change - the kitchen cabinets.But will this white look terrible - or even different - from room to room. I know there's a bunch of variables, but would love to see you make a video on color coordination and cohesive design throughout a house. PS. I'm having some trouble with one of your links - the exclusive design tips. The page appears as "not found"

[@JacobOwensDesigns]

Hi Kathleen 😊 Thank you for your kind words👍🏻 Large Victorian homes are a lot of fun to work with when creating a color palette for the entire home. How exciting 😊 I would imagine this Victorian home has high ceilings, deep archways, double doors, maybe carved woodwork, wainscoting and detailed interior trim right? There is a lot going on in this home and without any visuals I can't give you the correct answers. Chantilly Lace is a beautiful trim assuming it compliments the interior decor, compliments the fixed elements of this home and does a good job on contrasting your wall paint color. As for room to room you can have different color trims if....its enclosed like a bedroom or bathroom room for example. You can bend the rules, afterall rules are meant to be broken as long as you know how to pull everything together. As for your last two questions😊 Color coordination is a complicated and detailed subject to talk about in a video. So many things at play when it comes to color coordination and cohesive design throughout your home. For example what's your interior decor style, what type of home do you have, is your home historical, traditional or modern, etc., and the list goes on.😊 However, in every video I try to give real examples on how and why colors react the way they do in the interior of your home. I will give some thoughts about future videos where I can give some examples regarding to your last two questions👍🏻 Thank you for the heads up about the link! I fixed it and it should be working now.

[@deedowns8713]

I live In a bilevel home with a lot of natural light in open space concept. My kitchen has speckled gray white counter top and white backsplash to the window frame. I have Brush nickel appliances. I want to repaint my ivory cabinets to a white to enlarge the kitchen area. What’s a good white ? I need an accent color that will flow from kitchen walls to the walls in the dining room and living room and foyer. I’m looking at a warm greige gray to go with my mustard sofa & accents chairs burgundy rugs.

[@patmoore2370]

I think I’ll go for it

[@officerfriendly134]

Any suggestions for carpet colors that pair well with revere pewter? I've already noted the creamy beige mentioned in the video.

[@melebalbaugh-fifita8954]

I'm on the search for the best greige color for my living room that faces southwest. I was contemplating on Revere Pewter but after watching this vid, it's not really suited for my living room. Please do a video on your favorite greige color. Btw love your videos! It's helping me distinguish some of the grays I was researching for this paint journey.

[@JacobOwensDesigns]

Mele, thank you for the nice comment 😊 I do have a video talking about greige colors, I will start uploading my videos soon. You definitely can't go wrong with greige, you just need the be careful that you get the right color that will coordinate with the undertones of your interior decor and fixed elements. Keep in touch. 👍🏻

I am trying to paint my living room. I have oak doors oak trimming. But I have recovered my chair dark gray and my sofa smoke blue. My curtains are medium grayish. I cannot find the right color for my living room. Can you help?

@4:30 of this video you show a tile which I currently have in my house. What paint color do you recommend would go best? I’m looking for either white, beige, or gray. (Light, neutral color)

[@lrajos4]

What about for the exterior of a home? Would it work with white trims?

[@marilynduddy2424]

My downstairs rooms are painted Revere Pewter and I love the tranquility that a grey brings but my rooms all show the green undertone. All our trimwork is medium oak so what gray would you suggest for medium oak?

[@JacobOwensDesigns]

Hi Marilyn, Revere Pewter has a green undertone. That's a tough question to answer without any visuals. Every oak trim has different undertones so I can't tell you which gray would go with just your oak trims. If you want it professionally done feel free to check out my online packages, www.jacobowensdesigns.com. Perhaps you might want to try Collingwood by Benjamin Moore? On another note, I've had many of my clients paint their oak trims instead. So much potential:)

[@marilynduddy2424]

@@JacobOwensDesigns Yes , I think a painted trim in the white you suggested would be great. My husband feels that you just don't paint over oak because the grain pattern is so interesting!

[@JacobOwensDesigns]

@@marilynduddy2424 I've lost count on how many homes where I convinced the homeowners to paint their oak trims and every single one of them thanked me later for it. Men are particularly hesitant about painting any wood surfaces and I always tell my clients to have their husbands or the man of the house to talk to me. Painting your oak trims will transform your entire home but at the same time, I understand what you're saying. I wish you the best:)

Hi Pam, I'm not surprised. Lighting and other undertones can influence the color of Revere Pewter. I've seen it myself and that's why I always say to be careful anytime your painting gray in any room.

Does it pair well with oak floors? We’re considering this for our living room that’s open to the kitchen as well. It has windows that face north and south, so it gets a fair amount of light.
