You need to know not only what other colors will complement the paint color you’re choosing, but you also have to keep in mind how light works in the space. I am having them do a sample tomorrow with that formula to make sure it comes out good.What qualifies these paints to be the best Benjamin Moore paint colors? First, as an interior designer, I feel that you need to know the room you’re working with, therefore you choose the best paint color for your space. My local paint store wouldnt take responsibility for calculating formulas based on my mad science projects, so they gave me all three individual formulas for me to calculate what i want. Playing with other ratios today with same samples. I mixed 1/3 of each sample (measured with a scale for exact replicable measurements) and came out with a beautiful soft grayed green blue). All three of these colors look radically different and more like paint chip in my bright east facing bath that does Not reflect a lot of green and blue into room.

In my very brightly lit, wall of southern windows (that have white plantation shutters that REALLY reflect our bright green florida lawn and our equally bright blue skies) open living space the Sea salt turned bright blue, quiet moments gray, and rainwashed bright green. I sampled sea salt, quiet moments and rainwashed.

If you are looking for something between the two colors you are trying now it might be worth a shot. BM Winterwood is a paint color that reads very similar to RP but is a hair darker. Then step back and look at how the sample color is looking against the color in the next room. And be sure to put the sample in doorways or edges of open space walls (like in your first photo where you can see through to the kitchen). Also put the edge that is painted all the way up against your moldings or any other fixed object (like tall cabinets). Then put that up on the wall and move it around to different walls and look at it at different times of day. Paint the whole thing but leave a 1' white edge on three sides. Get a piece of poster board and cut it in four sections. This is really important - your current wall color will influence the eye's perception of your color samples very heavily. I do think you really need to put some samples on some poster board instead of on the wall. I have Revere Pewter in a room with a lot of light and it doesn't disappear at all - it still looks like a color. We haven't settled on the color so everything is still in the middle of the room. I attached a picture to show the brightness of quiet moments (regular intensity, not lightened) in my living room. I'm worried the lighting will mess with sea salt too. I'm considering just painting it all sea salt like our last house but I've heard that sea salt and quiet moments are very similar. I'm worried it took the gray/green out and looks like a bright sky blue now.

Has anyone else had this experience, where QM looked bright aqua? Also, if you've lightened it, please post pics or tell me how it affected the color. I'm worried the QM at 50% intensity will be too 'baby blue' or sky blue. I tried to lighten in by 50 percent but I've been staring at these colors for so long that I can't even tell.

It looks nice and blue gray (what I'm going for) in our dining room but in the living room it's a bright turquoise/aqua color. To be safe, and less on the green side, I chose BM Quiet Moments. Our new place has a lot of lighting, including recessed lighting in the living room.

I actually didn't even know it was supposed to be more of a green. Our last place was SW sea salt and I loved it! It looked very blue with the lighting we had. I've made my husband repaint the living room twice and I'm still not happy with the paint color. I'm 7 months pregnant and desperately trying to get our new home decorated (nesting).
