I painted the interior of my entire coastal house years ago with Sea Salt. It was like a refuge. So calming and peaceful. Then I moved to the mountains, and repeated that in my new home. It does change colors a bit from room to room depending on the light and flooring. But I have found that my mental peace depends on this color surrounding me in my home. I had alot of emotional healing to do, and I highly recommend it for that. I've paired it with snowbound, which is my favorite white color , and a mixture of grays and bold furnishings like deep emerald greens and deep teal. I love it!!

[@raynabean620]

I loved SW sea salt paint color so much, I painted every room in my home with this paint. I just couldn't get enough of it. It looks different in each room.

[@danceswithtallcans7694]

I’m a handyman/ house painter .. I actually painted an entire exterior with that exact color from sherwin Williams . Looked awesome

[@maryc6091]

I have SW Sea Salt in my bedroom. I love it because I never know what it’s going to be. Is it green, is it blue or is it grey 🤷‍♀️

[@lynnbrady2979]

I painted my whole house with SW Seasalt and have NEVER regretted it❤

[@artleatham4004]

I am stressing like crazy. I want to do the same but scared to try. I have navy furniture in my living area.

[@Geronimo2Fly]

I can't believe you did an entire video on Sea Salt. We painted my mom's entire apartment in this color and she absolutely loves it. It's very calming, and it goes with everything.

[@carolyncook3611]

Have SW Sea Salt in all 3 bathrooms and laundry room. Love. 1 bathroom has no windows. 2 baths and laundry have very small windows, so minimal natural light. Have BM October Mist on walls in den and office and SW Alabaster on all walls and trim in living areas and bedrooms. Gorgeous combo for my smaller home in climate that receives little sunlight.

[@lfcook629]

I have 2 bathrooms and a small bedroom in Sea Salt. It looks different depending on the direction of light from the window. It's a gorgeous color.

[@victorialove9104]

I have always been drawn to the color Sea Salt. I'm soon going to remodel my main bathroom and thanks for reminding me of this beautiful color. I think I will paint the bathroom walls this color. So very pretty.

[@ingridstockton6311]

Sea Salt also looks lovely in rooms that have Oriental carpets and more traditional furniture as in my dining room and entry room. I love that the colors differ slightly from one room to the other due to orientation and number of windows. Sea Salt looks very fresh as a background to English country style that features a lot of oil paintings and brown furniture.

[@coastaldiva]

This is true. Looks really good with traditional furniture.

[@seaswimmer9968]

We painted the exterior of our house SW Oyster Bay, which is on the same color strip as Sea Salt, just a couple shades darker. We chose Homburg Gray for the shutters and it’s gorgeous. We plan to paint our primary bedroom Sea Salt this spring. Love these colors, so peaceful and pretty.

[@jstanders6973]

Sounds gorgeous Kimberley

[@oliviaelliott4623]

We are thinking oyster bay, as well! Exterior should always be a little warmer. Stucco should also be more muted. Why I didn't choose sea salt for exterior.

[@scrappylifter8318]

I love Sea Salt! Used it in the hall bathroom, the sunroom, and I'm using it in the entryway this weekend!

[@Audrey-km9in]

Thank you for another terrific video. After trying literally a zillion color samples, I painted my walls Shoji White. It is a beautiful chameleon color that changes with the light. Sometimes grey, other times creamy white, it is always beautiful. Sea Salt is lovely. I am intrigued with it paired with Retreat. AUGH! I must finish my current painting projects before I begin dreaming Sea Salt.

[@shanner4130]

Hi Audrey! I am 99% decided on shoji white for my main living space/ dinning room. However, I’m stumped on trim choice. Wondering what colour you decided to pair it with? Thanks.

[@Audrey-km9in]

@@shanner4130 - hi there. Trim. Augh! This was the bane of my existence. In my house are 21 doors and miles of trim. I couldn’t justify paying $10,000+ to have my house painted so I reluctantly decided to leave the trim and change the wall & ceiling color. It was a nightmare- I painted everything twice - the first color was 25% of the trim/door color. Looked great in October but when the sun poured in - horror! I would rather have poked out my eyes with burning sticks than begin again but I could not live with the color. Back to the drawing board. Finally found Shoji. I wish I could upload a photo or provide you with a color name - I don’t have it. I do have a can of trim paint with codes and would be happy to provide you with it if that would be at all helpful. I don’t hate it but I don’t love it either. It is darker than the walls and is a taupe/golden/beige color. One piece of advice if you are DIY-ing and go with Shoji- paint the ceiling the same color as this will make your job much easier. I used Behr paint in a flat sheen - the durable, can-be scrubbed formula and the sheen is pretty close to their ceiling paint. Cutting in goes much faster. I truly love the Shoji White and the color changes throughout the day. It is beautiful and allows me to almost like the trim color.

[@danielleallen9678]

My sister just painted her bathroom in Sea Salt and it is beautiful 😍

[@lidanaude8022]

Thank you James for being awesome with your content!

[@crt1975]

I love, love, love ❤this color palette! I’m so happy to see green (my favorite color) returning to the spotlight again. This palette is so calming and restful. Thank you for your videos!

[@bevalexander5897]

This is my favorite paint color that I’ve ever used. Will continue using.

[@candyknutson4539]

I love Sea Salt. Everyplace I've seen it looks light green.The combination I liked best was in a bathroom. Sea Salt walls and Alabaster trim.

[@maggiemaranzana4758]

My favorite!! I even painted my ceilings in sea salt

[@jlaurelle]

My favorite palette yet ❤

[@christineplaton3048]

It's a very calming color, yes.

[@Dahlia4777]

Thanks James for the breakdown on this beautiful paint color. I have it in my foyer but I think I will take it even farther!

[@revandenburg]

Wow, so Beautiful! Seeing these model room colors makes me miss the days of having colored walls. I've lived in a log cabin for the past 15yrs. The logs tend to pull light and darken a room.

[@thespace2983]

Wow 🤩that Moroccan spice with sea salt is gorgeous!

[@martykendall6547]

I love sea salt also! Painted my kitchen with it after first trying it in my parents’ bedroom.

[@Caroline.722]

Love Sea Salt!

[@HeronCoyote1234]

If you prefer Benjamin Moore paints, check out Healing Aloe (1562 LRV 69) and Quiet Moments (1563 LRV 61).Same feel as Sea Salt.

[@gageiger]

Quiet Moments is also known as Smoky Green. It truly is a beautiful colour. We used it in our smaller bathroom (no window) and it went too green for our custom shower curtain so we had to tweak it. Broke my heart but it is still lovely!! I would say it isn't quite as minty green as sea salt and not quite as grey.

[@ashleyriddett289]

This is going in the main bathroom, thanks for the info and breakdown

[@diannelavoie5385]

I need to do my bedroom and living room, and Sea Salt is the color I plan on using with white trim. Might even do my kitchen in it. Love it's way of looking a bit different depending on light. Super versatile color.

[@joycestewart4893]

I've used Sea Salt (or something very close) in several projects. It's actually a wonderful base color for colorful accents.

[@natsomething0]

I wanted to refresh my bedroom and after looking at my options I'll be repainting the walls with Sea Salt. I've lived with it against white trim and dark wood furnishings for several years now and, though I considered a change when deciding the walls needed a new coat, I couldn't come up with any alternative that I felt I would enjoy more than what I already have. I'm someone who gets bored easily and I do like to update my home fairly regularly. So it's really saying something that I'm keeping this gorgeous color for years to come. I love the way the natural light skews it green or blue throughout the day. If your home is overwhelmingly neutral and airy this is a great option to bring in a very gentle wash of color without upsetting that vibe at all.

[@nicolasalvarez8716]

Fantastic colour! New fan

[@kaybrown4010]

Nice!

[@keysharubirosa8826]

I just paint my room 2day with that beautifull color luv it

Wonderful!

[@MsSherrydarling]

Great combo of colours! I really like Moroccan spice👍🏻! Sea salt is a lovely colour

[@judykessler9658]

Me too!!

[@halinameson2946]

Nicely done video. Very artistic. I love this color. Haven’t used it yet. Loved the paint droplets in water….soooo cool ;)

[@HolleeBru]

Love the color, most of my rooms are painted sea salt.

[@bobsmith5683]

I wish I saw this two weeks ago. I have sea salt in my bedroom (I love it) and needed to pick a paint for my ensuite. I ended up with touch of sand SW. It’s growing on me but it has a purple/ pink undertone for sure.

[@PROMAC901]

thanks

[@coastaldiva]

It can be a great coastal color with natural light coming into the room

[@adriennecottrell387]

I like your channel you give great advice be well

[@gageiger]

I LOVE this colour! Planning on painting my front door this summer and I am hoping to use Sea Salt (or BM's Quiet Moments) It is very hard to pick a front door colour when the trim is that dark teal colour of that era with a bit of white from the windows, and the house is a creamy sandy/ straw colour that has faded over the years. My entry is in a shaded corner facing NW with late afternoon sun.. Sea Salt is what I have my heart set on (although I may have to go down a shade or two). We have a house that was built in 2003 and we have dark teal trim, eaves troughs, soffits. On our front porch we went with dark charcol railings (like BMs wrought iron). We have stone work with various shades of grey and this charcol colour.) The pillar is also this dark teal colour. I am hoping sea salt will tie it all together because right now the door is white and just looks.... ok but... tepid??.... The Sea Salt undertones should work with the teal and stone no matter the light level : the grey works; and if it pulls blue it will work, if it stays the muted green I think that colour will work with the teal as well. Yes, I will be getting the peel and stick samples and see!! If it works, then I also might paint the bottom half of the pillar the dark charcol (Wrought Iron) and the top white just to lighten up what feels like teal overload Fingers crossed.🤞 BTW, white pillar because front double attached garage and the garage door is white. It needs some company!! :) 😀

[@CokeysCasino]

i painted a house SW PURE WHITE with SW SEA SALT door & blinds love love love

[@janniebee9501]

Now Sea Salt has been a favorite for so long. Please review Navajo White

[@Donna-vh5ym]

First, I want to say watching to you James, you've helped me tremendously. All three of my bedrooms are Sea Salt with Retreat as an accent wall in the master along side SW sea- salt. Trim is all r high eflective white. I love it. Goes with different bedding and accessories to add a pop of colors. Other rooms main color Shoji along with lots of blues accessories, but fixed elements are black and gold.

[@victorialove9104]

Sounds lovely

[@Donna-vh5ym]

@@victorialove9104 // thanks love. I've made a lot of mistakes, but using Sea-Salt by Sherwin Williams wasn't one. So happy I did.!!

[@FireGoddess52]

I have custom doors, cabinets and trim in white oak. The kitchen has excentuated the reds with a dark maroon between the counter top and cabinets (which I like!). But in the great room there is a yellow accent wall, and it's just not... Great. The whole house needs repainting. I like the maroon in the kitchen, planning on keeping the majority of the walls a neutral to slightly warm white. Would you think the sea salt would possibly be a good choice as an accent wall?

[@flowergirl9794]

I really enjoy your videos, I want to paint my bedroom blue but not a baby blue sort of a medium Moody not where you walk in the room and say oh no blue do you have any suggestions for an elegant understated Moody blue?

[@ksb4160]

I have this color in my bedroom

[@MrClintc311]

Painted my dining room and kitchen Sea Salt and the rest of the main house Alabaster. The only white that didn't shade to pink, blue, purple etc. in our house.

[@mar9belle]

Loved the ideas with the color great video. Could you please do everyday white by sw ?

[@gailremp8389]

This is the video Inwas looking for. I have SW Evergreen Fog

[@sleepingbeautyisnotwoke]

Your color palette is giving me a coastal storm approaching vibes. I picked sea salt for my son’s room and we have plantation shutters on the windows at are a vintage almond color. I’m planning on painting the shutters “Bone” by All-in-One paint by Heirloom Traditions to make it a lighter off white but I don’t like the pure white window casing around it. I was thinking of painting the it the same color as the shutters. What’s your recommendation?

[@pkstiever]

Just what I was looking for! I have Sea Salt walls and wondered what color to paint my antique vanity. I think I will use Retreat or Snowbound. Thank you!

[@victorialove9104]

You want to paint an antique?!!

[@pkstiever]

@@victorialove9104 It's already painted. It is French Provincial style. My husband wanted to just get rid of it, but I won't let that happen. It is currently navy, and will need to be primed for sure. Some day it could be stripped back but we certainly don't have that kind of time or motivation.

[@TANIA_DANIELLE]

Thank you! I love this color too. What would be the best closest BM color? I love sea salt but prefer BM paint. I don't like to try to color match. Great channel! :)

[@alicianagy4749]

Crazy you posted this video! 🥰 this is one of the color option for a current project. Soo. What is the difference between sw sea salt and sw pine frost They seem way similar to me.

[@blissdharma980]

To me, besides Sea Salt, Moroccan Spice is one gorgeous color.

[@MassimilianoDeliso]

Please James I’m thorn between these two Sherwin-Williams colours FLEUR DE SEL vs WINDOW PANE, can u make a video about t and create also a palette for them? Thank you very much!

[@sleepinglioness5754]

Sherwin Williams is my favorite paint and professional painters were converts once I introduced them to it. Far better than Ben. Moore, which I had used for years. Sadly, it's not carried in any of the stores where I live now.

[@SueNoetzel]

I love this color palette. I think Sea Salt will be perfect in my bathroom that is about to be remodeled. What color would you paint the ceilings?

[@mackes3683]

I painted the exterior of my house (wood sidings) last summer in sea salt and I don't like it. I find it too light and plain. My house gets a lot of sunlight to the street. I find it plain and boring in all light conditions and all seasons. I already bought several buckets of sea salt paint for the second coat. Now I'm thinking if I could bring the paint back to SW to get more color mixed into it to turn it into a darker version of sea salt, maybe oyster bay. I would appreciate your suggestions. Btw the windows, door frames, trims and back doors are chantilly lace and for the window sashes I plan a mid to dark brown tone. The entry door is a mid brown stain.

[@myralewis3944]

would this colour go with the colour wenge?

[@tonigrant2295]

I need your help desperately! I have watch tons of your videos trying to find a white paint that you’ve recommended that can be used on both the walls and ceilings of a space but I haven’t found one. You have a lot of videos! My living room and foyer ceilings are 18 feet tall. My house is two stories and those areas go all the way up because there isn’t a room on top of them. I wanted to use the same color for the ceilings and walls so I wouldn’t have to be precise where they meet. There is 5 doors and thick door frames and trim that I plan to paint a light neutral that matches my stacked stone fireplace and is slightly darker than the walls so everything isn’t so stark and boring. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!!

[@constancemartin933]

@The Paint People I love this palette. Any chance you could replicate it in Benjamin Moore equivalents, James? Btw, I love your channel. You remind me of my son, who is also a trained actor.

[@nancypanzenhagen4714]

Hi James - just wondering what you think of SW Fleur de Sel 7666? Can it be used as an overall color for a two story home with lots of windows or would u use it in a specific room? I haven't seen you talk about this one......

[@user-xn6tm2vr7m]

Help- my kitchen is Sea Salt and I love it. But one wall wraps around and goes into the rest of the downstairs living room and dining room so I need a color that goes well with Sea Salt to paint the rest of my downstairs (and that one wall thats in the kitchen), up the stairs and into the loft area. I was looking at SW 9165 Gossamer Veil. I don't get a lot of natural light since I'm in a condo. Other choices are BM Bruton White, or SW Crushed Ice, but I'm afraid Crushed Ice might look a little too blue. Any suggestions? Thanks

[@oglemedaris]

I used sea salt in my kitchen! On the wall behind the frig and stove ! I painted the cabinets white. South facing window! I'm I wrong? Should I have done differently? I bought a gallon! Should I paint the side walls too?

[@dianewerckle4983]

Wondering if Sea Salt would work for our home? French Country style, house is dark due to few natural light sources, and dark blinds on all the windows. We're painting the ceilings in SW Pure White and our cabinets are SW Light Country Gray. TIA!

[@michelemccracken62]

I have a peel stick 6 in by 6 in swatch of SW Sea Salt but unfortunately it looks gray. I wanted the muted green. My townhouse doesn't get natural light at all. I'm wondering what color I could get to get the green Sea Salt color.

[@cindymichaud7111]

I like the deep color of Moroccan spice to go with a dark green on my cupboards, I'm leaning towards pewter green. I've got to check and see if they're compatible, or if there is a comparable color to the Moroccan for the Pewter Green. I'm wondering though, if you think it's fit for only accents, should I do my kitchen walls with it (over a plater schmear finish)? Idk. Flummoxed. This color selection stuff is stresfull!

[@cdd824]

Would Sea salt be gray in a north facing room?

[@MsBettyRubble]

Yes, sea salt is fabulous. Love that color, too.

[@LindaBaxter]

I have this in my north facing low light bedroom and it looks totally light blue. Could the light really affect it that much?

[@coastaldiva]

Yes totally!

[@dicedrice7216]

Yes. But test it yourself -- get cool bulbs and warm bulbs and switch them out. You'll see which type of light works best for your space.

[@susannovak8263]

Yes

[@christinerezer2726]

Ok do you have a color recommendation that is similar to sea salt in the same lrv range but pulls a bit warmer. I have a north facing room with mostly all cool light, large north facing window in front of house, small side window that faces West and and dining room it opens up to that has south facing window so any warm light is coming as a secondary. I did the di ING room in blank canvas not sure if I'm going all the way through, so I'd like a suggestion. Thank you!!

[@musicforthemetaverse9931]

To me sea salt comes off as a little too minty. No? There are more muted gray greens out there that I might like in my living room/dining room open plan. I was thinking going darker with maybe retreat into the office/study. Or in the office should I go more taupe to offset the green in the other two room?

[@miriza2]

Does sea salt go well in an outdated bathroom with ivory tiles?
