{Paint} Choosing that perfect neutral.

When it comes to selecting  a paint color for your home, the options are absolutely endless, often leading to some major frustration. Painting can be a BIG project, and you most definitely don’t want to change your mind about the color 6 months down the road, especially in larger spaces.

I’ve shared a few of my most favorite neutral colors, in hopes of eliminating some of the headache involved in choosing that perfect neutral shade. I often tend to go straight to the back of the BM paint deck in search of the historical color section. These paint chips will all have an HC in front of their number and are the more easy to live with toned hues.

TIP: Consider asking your paint store to mix up a sample paint to try on your walls first and compare with another color option. Paint a small square of each on the wall and leave it there for a few days, in order to see it in different light.

I recently used KG in our guest bedroom and absolutely LOVE! Although this color can be rather complex. Not quite brown, now quite gray, rather a mix of each and obviously not easily described but absolutely rich & gorgeous. Fairview Taupe and Ashley Gray are a couple of other lovelies. :)

Thinking of painting the exterior of our house in this.

So there you have it! My FAVE neutral hues!
