New Paint Color In Living Room

I loved the warm color I had for ten years in my living room but I had grown tired of it. I felt it was stale and boring and no longer represented my style, so it was time for a much needed change! I spent hours at the paint store and online looking thru different paint swatches and room makeovers to finally narrow it down to two colors. The top two contenders were Benjamin Edgecomb Gray, and Gray Owl.
Edgecomb on Left, and Gray Owl on Right. I finally decided on Gray Owl and I couldn't be happier! I love it!
Below you can see the difference in the yellow color that was there and the new gray color.
In certain lighting it looks more blue.
And in other times it looks more green/gray.
It looks great with white trim and accessories.
Benjamin Moore Gray Owl is such a versatile color and would look great in any room. The calming blue hues make it the perfect color for a bedroom or bathroom, as well as a dining room or living room. It looks great with white trim and accessories but black looks great with it as well. Anything goes with this color...you can't go wrong!

    Ok so what color shade would you suggest for a kitchen that flows into the family room. I really like the gray you choose. What type of paint is it? Thank you

    Love the gray. My living room is also gray with white trim. This color combo is neutral, but not boring.

    Lovely! Grays are so underrated beside beige, something I will never understand! This is a lovely paint choice!
