An E-Design with Edgecomb Gray: The Best Greige Paint Colour!

 

Edgecomb Gray – My FAVE Greige Paint Colour

Greige is a tricky one. SO many people think that when they choose greige, they’re going to get this perfect blend of beige and gray, but that’s rarely the case! It’s kind of like mixing red wine and white wine – you don’t necessarily get a nice rose (but hey, I’ll drink it anyway).

So, when I’m looking for a relatively well-balanced greige that doesn’t pick up the typical undertones of either taupe or green – I look at Edgecomb Gray. Sure, like any greige, it can pick up a whole WHACK of undertones as it’s easily influenced by its environment/exposure/etc…but generally speaking – it’s pretty damn greige!

I used Edgecomb Gray throughout a local client’s home as shown here in Colour Review: Edgecomb Gray, so when my e-design client was looking for the perfect colour for her home, it was one of my TOP suggestions.

Before, the room felt weighed-down and a bit drab…

After, it looks MUCH more inviting and warm!

Before, the colours were a bit heavy and flat for the treed landscaping outside the windows…

After, when paired with Pashmina in the eating area/kitchen, the palette is way softer and more organic looking – and notice how the wood floors came to life!

To the right of the eating nook above is the kitchen. I have a blog post dedicated ENTIRELY to this kitchen makeover, so you’ll want to check that out once you’re done here, but I’ll give you a sneak peek…

I know, I’m such a tease (ask Tim…), but the kitchen turned out so cool that it really deserves its own spot in the limelight. If you want to check it out, you can see it here (but finish this one first!)

My client ALSO wanted to change the dining room into more of a casual family room, and let me say that it’s a good thing she did…the only thing the old dining room would inspire me to do is drink more.

      I was wondering the same thing Alicia! Hopefully she’ll read these notes – but I’m going to send her an email anyway 🙂

      Hi Tara, I’m not sure, she kept her original trim colour! Hopefully, she reads this and can let you know 🙂

      Hi Tara,
      The same paint when we moved into the house. It is an off-white color.

    What are your thoughts about Edgecomb Gray for Kitchen cabinets. I so want to do them in an greige or maybe Stone Lion by Sheriwin Williams . Edgecomb has been surfacing a lot in the last year.
    My open concept walls are SW Collonade Gray and my living room bookshelves are Stone lion.

      Hi Tara! Between Edgecomb Gray and Stone Lion for cabinets, I would lean more toward Edgecomb Gray, but of course that’s without seeing your exposure/countertops/flooring, so it’s just a guess and preference 🙂

    I absolutely love this post! I am currently painting with BM Edgecomb Gray on my walls and BM White Dove for the trim. I am loving the look so far. It’s a work in progress. This gives me hope my living room will brighten up so much more once I have painted. My floors are a similar oak color to this and I was playing with the idea of refinishing in another color, but now I am thinking I will keep it. Lovely home! Thanks for sharing.

    Would Edgecomb Gray paint work in a room that had red furniture or does it work best with neutrals like beiges and greys?

    I’m painting my bathroom- walls -cabinet-
    Door -trim and ceiling. I am thinking about using Alabaster for maybe the cabinets. Which white would be best for the other surfaces? Your blog is very informative. Thanks..

      Oooo Carolyn, I’m glad you asked! In a small space I definitely wouldn’t mix whites as one will absolutely make the other look warmer/more gray/blue/etc…you’ll want to do the SAME white for all of the surfaces – and I do have 2 blog posts re: whites (BM and SW) if you want to check them out. My main fave white is BM White Dove…
