50 Shades of Grays
So if you read last month's newsletter, you know that we were all about
color with the announcement of the Pantone Institute® Color for 2015,
Marsala. (If you missed it, you can click and read it now.)
And you might remember that for the second year in a row, the Paint
Quality Institute predicted that many of you will choose a shade of gray
for your interior.
We
painted the entire interior of this Delaware Valley home (photo by
Brian Krebs/Fred Forbes Photogroupe) in about a half dozen of the more
than 150 Benjamin Moore grays. The living room is painted in Coventry and the dining room beyond in Kendall Charcoal. Sherwin-Williams' grays number
about 140. So with the release of the much-anticipated movie "Fifty Shades
of Grey" (a name in this case), based on the much-talked-about 2012
book by E.L. James,
we thought this might be a good time to talk about why gray might be
the best choice for you. While these subtle hues can be cooling and
calming, they can make a bold "industrial" statement and deliver a big KABANG with assertive accents and courageous complementary colors. But since we're all about Houzz these days, we're going to let the experts there give you the low-down on what's trendy with these neutral shades. By the way, the bathroom to the right that announces our new Tiling service is painted Ben Moore Silver Spring.
