Benjamin Moore light gray paint color

Anonymous wrote:Looking for a paint color for our kitchen cabinets and have decided on gray with a medium to dark blue or blue/green island. Almost all the BM "favorite" gray paints show up way too blue in our kitchen. Stonington literally looks like powder blue. Colors look gray on the strips, but then I paint a swatch, and it comes off blue. Gray Owl is too light. I want the cabinets to look decidedly gray.
I decided to go with a warmer gray, so I tried Revere Pewter, but I think it is a bit too beige. Is there anything in between the cool grays and warmer ones that might work? Has anyone used Nimbus or Smoke Embers? Hoping the counters will be light with gray veining and light/white tile backsplash.

Also looking for a nice blue for the island, along the lines of Providence Blue, Normandy, Hamilton Blue. I think Hale and Van Deusen will be too dark.

Van cortland blue i think is slightly lighter than van deusen

We used BM "Bruton White" (CW-710), which is actually grey, on the walls of our foyer and hallways. We like it. Might be worth a sample.

I had van Courtland in my office in our old house, which had thick moldings around the ceiling and windows, and built in book cases. I did a two color scheme, of the van Courtland on walls with crisp white on moldings and bookcases. It was gorgeous and people loved it. I did too...for years. If you decide against it for island, keep it in mind elsewhere. It was really great. Good luck.

Poster above...I did bmoore feather gray in the foyer of our new 100 year old house. I like it, it reads sometimes as more of a blue early in the day because there is a lot of light coming in from the east, but there is enough gray in it that it is not saccharine or babyish. (I also love blue and the house has a coastal, casual vibe overall). It gets cut by wood pieces of furniture and the wood floors (and white ceiling).
