It’s no secret designers love gray paint. The neutral can act as a subtle backdrop to a vibrant piece of art, or it can give virtually any room an instant calming effect. But the seemingly endless gray paint choices out there are overwhelming, to say the least. If you know you want a gray that's on the warmer side, consider Benjamin Moore’s Revere Pewter—a designer-favorite light gray with warm undertones.
Designer Patrick Baglino recommends using the greige color in large open spaces with turquoise, scarlet, or tangerine accents. "The warmth of this gray comes from the addition of a splash of beige, and it feels as comforting as a bowl of homemade chicken soup," he says.
The color “creates a unifying look that calms and restores” and is “a great transitional color that’s perfect for an open floor plan,” according to Benjamin Moore’s description of the paint. If you're not convinced quite yet, take a look at the following living rooms, kitchens, bedrooms, and more that all feature Benjamin Moore’s Revere Pewter paint. Whether you decide to use the paint solely on your kitchen cabinets or cover your entire bedroom in it, you can't go wrong!
Can't decide between white or gray? Go with both, as Corey Damen Jenkins did in this Michigan home. The designer used Benjamin Moore's Revere Pewter on the ceiling and PPG’s Garlic Clove on the walls for a subtle, warm contrast.
Cabinetry painted in Revere Pewter gives this kitchen by designer Sharon Rembaum a clean, welcoming look. Brown accents on the stools and pendants further warm up the room.
In the living room of designer Nina Farmer’s Beacon Hill brownstone, her subtle palette blends proper Bostonian restoration, cosmopolitan taste, and relaxed modernity. The walls painted in Revere Pewter let the furnishings take center stage.
The warm-toned gray also makes the perfect backdrop for art, like this vivid Mira landscape in Farmer's living room. The tufted sofa, throw pillows, and rug brings in more texture and pattern.
For a sophisticated Alabama house, Tracery Interiors used all-gray rooms—including this bedroom with walls painted in Revere Pewter—to emphasize pops of pink, like the small beside floral arrangement.
With walls painted in Revere Pewter, the focus in this breakfast area—designed by Caitlin Wilson—is on a farmhouse table surrounded by French bistro chairs, where conversations over homemade meals can be had.
