[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree gray is a turnoff to me. Cannot fathom why people want cold, sterile gray interiors that remind me of hospitals. Which is ironic as hospitals now embrace warmer colors, on purpose.

Regardless of what agents tell you, my gut instinct is a high quality paint job is more important than any soft colors you pick, whether pale gray or pale cream. Painting in bold colors is a mistake. [/quote]

Well, classic gray is a pretty warm color. But the main thing is that OP says she has revere pewter, and clearly put thought into the colors she chose.

As other PPs have pointed out, the main thing is that she picks something light that is harmonious with her flooring, tile, cabinets, trim etc.

We all saw houses in 2009 that had orangey floors and white trim with yellow undertones that someone painted a cool gray to try to “modernize” them for staging, and it looked horrible. OP needs to avoid that at all costs.

So even though classic gray might not be trendy, it is very likely to look good with her other finishes and that is way more important.

Sure, there might be a different color that is better. But someone would have to be there in person figuring that out. [/quote]
