Another revere pewter here, and it's a great greige that handles cool and warm colors/furniture well. Gray can go bad REALLY FAST, so be sure you test out samples.
No regrets, and a single color throughout is very classy. |

| Go for it. A whole house wall color should disappear, meaning it should not be the first thing you notice when you walk through the house. It sounds like you've found a shade that does just that. If you have warm maple cabinets and light floors, I think a cool color will work better than off white. Go for it. |

| I don't understand how refer pewter is considered a gray. It's so beige. |

Plain grey?
Hate it, even when it was the height of fashion, which it's not nowadays. However, what's very elegant is to add a touch of grey to a blue, or green. You could also do a creamy pink, or light peach. |

Like a lot of BM paints, the paint chip looks different than the actual paint color. |

| As long as the accents are bright and varied, I think it works really well. |

| My home is painted BM Platinum Grey, except the bathrooms. Never regretted it. |

| I think it will be fine. At least it's neutral. |

| Our whole house is a light gray and I really like it. It's a nice neutral backdrop. We have large scale art work throughout our first floor and our window shades are a dark color, not boring white. Upstairs, we put wall decals and artwork up in the kids' rooms and they have really colorful bedding so the gray just blends in. |

We did everything BM Edgecomb Gray. It's a beigey gray.
BTW - The BM paint store near us has a designer who will come out for $100 or so to consult on colors for your house. Then you get 10% off the paint. You could try that if you're not sure. |

For years they said that shades of cream were timeless, until apparently they weren't anymore. |
