We recently painted ours Worldly Gray by Sherwin Williams and we love it. It definitely doesn't get enough love.

[@nellescott4899]

I used Repose gray throughout my home. Love it!

[@meganharper6566]

Hey James, I was chuffed to see West Highland White make the list as this was the colour I convinced my Mom to paint her new condo. It used to have a rosy taupe all over and it and was looking tired and drab. WHW definitely lightened and brightened the space, and it feels much more lively and inviting now. Anyway, another great video! Thanks! :)

[@judybee6698]

I painted the majority of my house in WHW and I love it. Don't see it mentioned much in other videos.

[@joanware6473]

I love oyster all over but very pale vanilla custard in my kitchen and white upper and light beigy cream lower half in my bathroom, and use colours as my accessories in all rooms.

[@lorigava7157]

Adore Snowbound, have used it with numerous other colors it’s fantastic. Lovely on trim, but also great in kitchens and bathrooms.

[@chelin7023]

Wow! I never thought one could describe a color with so many words and reasons! Really cool video! 😉

[@tas22222]

I do and thank you !!! this is SO on point for me !!! we need a fresh new paint colour for 2 levels of our home. cannot wait!!! Thank you I am new to your channel and have been catching up on your older videos. PLUS you are Canadian!! Bonus! Cheers!

[@franklinstephen3268]

Hi 👋how are you doing?

[@NeverNotCleaning]

I recently painted my dark hallway (SW Mindful Gray) with Snowbound and love it!!! It was a perfect color to go with the existing darker gray in my entire house. Interior doors: Tricorn Black, Satin finish

[@franklinstephen3268]

Hi 👋how are you doing?

[@dfuller3423]

Currently painting Snowbound through the whole house with Extra White for the trim and loving it. Never used such a high white before but it is really working to freshen up and modernize whilst giving me a great backdrop for finishes and accessories.

[@annewilson143]

Thanks for this post. I have tricorn black and extra white for my cabinets and trim. I wasn't sure how well snowbound would look with extra white.

Grey will never become the norm, it's a beautiful colour in every room, it highlights and brings out the beauty of every feature.

[@LQOTW]

oooooh, I think the Accessible Beige ticks all the boxes for my house refresh! Love it!

[@JJ33438]

great video thank you for the education and sampling!

[@DebiDan]

I think Agreeable Grey is going to be one of those timeless colors that just works with so many decor styles. Can’t go wrong with that color.

[@juliel8720]

gray is out this year

[@DebiDan]

@@juliel8720 That’s what makes Agreeable Grey so great. It’s not a standard grey. Depending on your home (light, decor etc) it blends incredibly.

[@lindseyhughey5733]

@@DebiDan Agreeable grey should be called flipper grey. I agree agreeable greay is good color.

He's right I used the SW agreeable gray on my walls today and there's no paint colour better than it. It beats all colours by a long shot...Great video

[@lnicole2504]

I am leaning toward this color, but I am afraid it will be too light.

[@sandraleigh4023]

I really like Moderate White. It's a warmer white, and not so jarring and cold.

[@maryanna71701]

Agreeable Gray is my favorite! Thanks for the great video, James!

[@franklinstephen3268]

Hi 👋how are you doing?

[@rileyhalls9301]

We get enough cloudy/gray days outside so i don't favor grey color on walls. However, I have seen a nice very light gray paired with another nice blue color in a hotel.

[@eileenalholinna5310]

I love watching your videos! My son in law is going to paint my condo. Have to decide on a color!!

[@MonicaAshRealty]

I’ve been in my house for more than 1 year and still haven’t painted despite saying that would be the 1st thing the house needed because I can’t choose a color. Thus, thank you for making it easy 😀

[@msaijay1153]

Did you pick a color?

[@michellebowers8652]

Painted most of our walls Repose Gray in flat finish. Baseboards and trim a slightly darker gray. It looked very gray and cold before we brought in all the furniture and rugs but with the space fully furnished it looks beautiful. A medium gray palette needs warm accents to balance it (wood, leather, warm colors even if it’s just a pillow.)

[@chrisbrady2371]

I painted my whole house Behr Dolphin Fin. It’s a medium gray with mostly green and a bit of blue nuances. Goes with everything!

[@saranegrete-xj5lv]

Just painted my kitchen accessible beige. It’s pulling a lot of purple as the kitchen is east facing. Wasn’t expecting that. It looks nice on its own but I’m not 100% sold yet.

[@ginamacdougall9012]

I love stormy colors gray,blues green's

[@caseyjean2264]

Hi James! Could I give you a suggestion for fun ceiling colors? I am going to be repainting a ceiling in my living room due to some stains and want to try something new besides white to make it cozier... thank you!! Congrats on the move!!

[@LULC0759]

I had my new build painted in Alabaster with SW High Reflective white. Lots of windows facing N & S and boy the Alabaster fades away. There isn’t enough of a difference in the LRV to notice. So now I’m thinking the walls will go SW White Sesame. Reviews on that color? I have the primary suite and guest room painted SW Accessible Beige. It’s nice. Sometimes looks flat & a bit dull but it works in the rooms it’s on.

[@hagun6535]

Love your videos, rewatching this one. Building a new house with lots of natural light planning on accessible beige and shiitake for walls, would shoji white be too dark for ceilings?

[@marypatlevitt823]

Great, informative info. Thank you!

[@Donna-vh5ym]

Right on time as usual. Thanks James

[@eps4560]

We painted a whole house Origami White and it is creamy neutral classy perfection. It goes perfect with both cool and warm colors!! The home was priorly painted Neutral Ground which looked old, beige-y yellow and horrible (too gold). But!!! We had to leave that Neutral Ground in one back bedroom that received little natural sunlight and it was cozy and stunning in that particular room for some strange reason and complimented Origami. Origami in that one particular room was too "wakeful", but looked cozy neutral in every other bedroom! Funny how the Floorplan, inner ceiling elevations, electrical lighting, natural light coming in the home makes or breaks ALL whites.

[@Chrismiss1218]

I love agreeable gray!! 🤗

[@ilikecontent2327]

Some nice neutral options! A bit too much gray for me, but still some nice options.

[@yuriypichinevskiy9764]

Just had my whole house painted alabaster walls and ceilings. Flat for ceiling and satin for walls

[@marcirobins5144]

I would like to use the taupe color that Clodagh uses from SW.

[@wildwestjanbutcher650]

It’s funny to see so many comments against yet more greys. I built a new home three years ago and went with Haymes (a local brand) Smokey Silhouette which is a lovely neutral grey with a grey toned white for the trim and I love it! We moved from a house with beige walls and I found it drab and depressing. We have just bought another home with a beige roof and blond bricks and I’m struggling to choose a colour for the siding as I really don’t want to go back to beige! I’m hoping to find a green toned grey that will work with the bricks and roof. Wish me luck!

[@HopeProphecy]

Thanks for the insights! May I ask what color gray is behind you in the video?

[@thedareneewilliams8360]

Great breakdown! Trusting all your experience too... So sick of Greys I could 🤢 Going to paint my Southwest so condo all interior with lovely Snowbound 👍🏻😂

[@Me-life77]

Every day I see your videos , I've been trying to find a color for a vanity for days. I have bought three samples and I don't like the way it looks because the reflection of the color of the tiles changes the tone. For example, the tiles look paper white turning the white dove into pink, the Oxford white seems a little bluish to me and the seapearl darker than I thought. When can you dedicate a video for them?. Thanks for this new one.

[@lisacollins5466]

Alabaster looks awesome. Where I used it you saw it as white so it really brightened things up but it also has this beautiful softness to it.

[@terrih.4448]

I painted my kitchen cabinets Alabaster and kitchen walls Accessible Beige both colors work beautifully together.

[@jenniferfitzgerald1796]

What would you suggest for pale grey cupboards and lots of golden oak flooring? I’d like to tone down the yellowy oak.

[@mindy5206]

[@sherriheebner9479]

Love the video…thank you! Can you advise us on what finish we should use if we want the ceiling, walls and trim the same? Should it be an egg shell, flat or something other?

Not James here however, keep the ceiling flat, the walls flat or eggshell and the trim satin or semi gloss

Would you use any of those on kitchen cabinets with yellow (sw Midday) walls?

[@frostfree7]

I have a few accent walls in greenish gray which ties in to the kitchen tile and flooring. Getting it ready to rent out, and the property manager thinks it's too specific and I should go off-white. I love the greenish gray but she's the professional so I'm going back and forth. If anyone has thoughts I would welcome them....

[@stephanied9629]

Repose & Agreeable Gray both turned purple and Accessible beige turns some sort of dark muddy color in my house. Alabaster I had high hopes for, it just looks really dingy, Snowbound turns blue. Choosing paint colors is driving me insane. BM classic gray turns purple. Only popular paint color I’ve had luck with is BM Simply White. I’ve tried so many more than I’ve posted about here. It’s maddening.

[@terrih.4448]

I have alabaster in my home and same thing happened then someone mentioned the lighting is the problem. After we fixed the lighting the paint colors performed better.

[@valeriewilkinson8256]

Paint videos on KZbin always show rooms with a ton of natural light. Real rooms aren't always like that. Crushed Ice looked very blue in my house, so I understand the frustration.

[@fayejordan175]

I tried a ton of colors too! I finally tried Revere Pewter by Benjamin Moore and it’s perfect! It goes with everything!

[@tamarastone141]

it may help to watch his videos on room locations ( East, west, etc) because that has alot to do with the way the colors look. if your rooms are north or south facing that doesn't have alot of direct sunlight, it may be why your colors are not turning out right.

[@valeriewilkinson8256]

@@tamarastone141 Right--paint looks bluer in a north-facing room. A process of trial and error is needed--you can't just go with the color someone on KZbin recommends.

Agreeable gray looks great in well lit rooms. It doesn’t look great in dark hallways I have found
