Looking for the perfect greige? Benjamin Moore Edgecomb Gray is my favorite! Check out different homes painted in it.

Last week I shared how we added simple picture frame moulding to the dining room and I wanted to paint the inside of the moulding a nice greige color. Something like a putty or mushroom color. Who knew it would be a challenge to find?

I put up paint sample boards using a number of different Benjamin Moore greige colors to see what the different colors would look like in our house.

It’s always best to either paint your wall with the paint color you’re considering or painting them on large poster boards.

You can read more how to do that in this post: How to Pick White and Grey Paint Colors

Here are the greige colors I picked to choose from:

  • Stone Hearth OC-490/984
  • Feather Down OC-6
  • Balboa Mist OC-27/1549
  • Grant Beige HC-83
  • Manchester Tan HC-81
  • Pashmina AF-100
  • Edgecomb Gray HC-173
  • Revere Pewter HC-172
  • Wind’s Breath OC-24/981
  • Pale Oak OC-20
  • Collingwood OC-28/859
  • Cedar Key OC-16/982

Note: sometimes there are two numbers associated with a paint color because Benjamin Moore has put it in a different collection. That’s why some of the paint colors have two numbers above.

After having these colors on the wall for a day or two, we narrowed it down to these three: Wind’s Breath, Feather Down and Edgecomb Gray.

It’s good to see what the color looks like under natural light and artificial light as you can see the big difference below.

Edgecomb Gray looked the best in all different lighting circumstances in our house!

I taped up the inside of the moulding with my favorite painter’s tape and got ready to paint.

Putting on the painter’s tape is always harder than painting!

I painted two coats with Edgecomb Gray in Regal Select from Benjamin Moore.

And here is the finished result!

Now we just need some artwork and it will look complete!

Other homes painted in Edgecomb Gray

I gathered some other homes of my blogger friends that also loved Edgecomb Gray in their homes.

Kristi from Making It In The Mountains painted her whole home with Edgecomb Gray.

And Kristi also used Edgecomb Gray on her bedroom doors and I love the contrast!

Laura from The Turquoise Home painted her kitchen in Edgecomb Gray too and it looks beautiful!

Nina from Nina Hendrick.com painted her beautiful family room in Edgecomb Gray.

      Same question: curious what color the white is? Read through twice to make sure I didn’t miss it. I am still concerned that this color will come off too peachy in my lighting (all my bulbs are warm white), but may give it a whirl in a very bright sunroom with little wall space… Curious what white you have on these walls and ceiling?

    So glad I found this post. My design style is French country. Seeing your dining room set and chandelier with the wall color as well as the grey clock helped so much! I need to have colors for my contractor to paint my cabinets (blue grey) by this week. I want to put a warm color on the walls to complement it. I think this may be it. Thank you!

Do you know what all these beautiful rooms have in Do you know what all these beautiful rooms have in common! They are all painted in the same paint color - White Dove OC-17 by @benjaminmoore. 💚 White is one of the hardest colors to pick for your home. It can pick up different surrounding colors which is why you can’t just Google a paint color and paint it on your walls. 💚 For my home, Simply White has worked the best. And White Dove is very similar. Swipe to see  some of these gorgeous rooms. 💚➡️ Check my blog post for tips on the best way to pick any paint colors for your home.

Our basement is the perfect place to store seasona Our basement is the perfect place to store seasonal / holiday / decor items. I’ve had plenty of it over the years (too much!) as I’ve been blogging for 10 years! I went through all my Christmas decor this year before I packed it all away and got rid of so much! It felt so good. 💚 Next, I’ll do the same for the other holidays coming up (like Easter, I have 2 bins just for Easter!). Decluttering is easier when it’s done in stages. I’m also really into minimal seasonal decor lately so I think it will be much easier to say goodbye to the extra ‘stuff’. 💚➡️ What about you? Do you have lots of seasonal / holiday / decor items in your home? ➡️ Check out my blog posts on how to organize these items in IG stories. .

Sometimes it helps to look at your home in terms o Sometimes it helps to look at your home in terms of square footage not how the builder or the previous owner used it. My dining room was once a family room but with our small main floor already having a living room and a very small dining room, we thought this room would be better suited for a bigger dining room (swipe to see the before with the cabinet, the before before when we first bought it and the reno) 💚 It pays to look at your home differently especially during this pandemic. I think we’re all going to look at how we use our homes differently going forward. 💚➡️ What about you? Do you use a room for a different purpose than what it was intended for? .

I’m a sentimental purger! 😂 I feel most happy when everything has its place and I’ve kept a few meaningful things, but not too many. Just the right amount. It’s a very fine balance, isn’t it?
