[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. The color is SW Boothbay Gray in eggshell finish. 
One pp suggested adding yellower lights and another pp suggested adding whiter lights. 
Any ideas? Thanks. [/quote]

Images show it as a medium gray.  We have extensive gray experience.  I had 12 samples all in the finish we would use-that does change slightly.   We had to do wall samples over other paint [medium cream color] and the area for gray got vastly different lighting [natural].

What happened?  Differences from daylight to evening from shadows to bright all changed the color [tints of blue, green, purple, greige].  But fortunately some painnt stayed gray!  Here's the stay gray cover cream in one coat.  All BM aura.   Classic grey [store can darken it by adding more black], white dove[too light], revere pewter.

Looking at your original color I'd go with classic gray.  Buy the gallon.  Put up a sample-6 by 6 in.  Take the can back to the store and get 1/2 shot of black. Sample on wall.  If that's not dark enough continue adding black.  [/quote]
OP here.  Thank you for such a thoughtful response! Heading out to buy a gallon now ....[/quote]
