#City loft sherwin williams windows#

I had used Aesthetic in an office I did recently and loved it so I tried in in my home and well. I found it a nice compromise I was very torn between Egret and City Loft and Aesthetic White all having slight nuances that differ, yet barely.

I hope it helps you and as I mentioned paint can change from room to room. As you move in to the kitchen it's not as bright, but the light from the sunroom toward the kitchen makes the paint look a pinch lighter more like the bottom of the photo.

#City loft sherwin williams windows#

The room has three taller windows left and right with a paned single door to the backyard and on the back wall 4 large paned windows so there is a lot of light in this space. I cropped the photo as this is the only spot I have 2 coats to have you best see. TALK ABOUT DREARY and you can see high it leans a bit slight gray. I'm not done, but here is a photo of Aesthetic white in my sunroom. You have some interesting colors and the only way to know is to try even though it's a pain. It really is a lot of work, but to get it right. Shoji is another that will lean slightly gray, but I didn't sample it as I'm familiar with it in other spaces and for my space and furnishings in the eat in sunroom I knew it would not work. Leave a 2' border of white all the way around and paint the rest with any of the colors you choose or any I have mentioned. I'd buy some 4 poster boards from Michael's or where ever you have locally cut them in half so you have 8 pieces to sample 2 colors. I can say I might trump you on living in a dreary area! But was hoping for a little help to narrow down the undertones to look for or avoid. I will have to do many samples in different places, we have both east and west sun exposure. But I’m doubting myself, there’s definitely decision fatigue after a multi room renovation! All I’m confident of so far is that I’m really not liking the yellow/beige cast I’m seeing with Muslin. I think the white should have a palest gray undertone, the goal being it just fades into the background and not draw attention to itself. Yes it’s a mix of warm and cool tones but they play well together. Thats my challenge, to find a white that works with - black brown gray and blue. My granite is Volga Blue and that’s especially hard to photograph- it mostly reads black with silver accents. We brought in about every shade of stained cabinet and this one just fit, I believe because others had red, orange or yellow undertones- this is just medium brown with a licorice (black) glaze. It’s really more of a true medium brown but is looking more red in photos than real life.

Thanks Porter, to answer your questions, all the wood stained trim is staying- this is a 1970s contemporary house with lots of stained wood throughout. All homes have different lighting whether natural or electric and that plays a huge factor. Best to do it on poster board as your eye has a lot to take in if you just do a small area on an existing wall with existing color. The only way to know is to sample, sample, sample. You might look for a white that leans ever slightly blue or try to stay within a white that leans beige not creamy. You have a blue backsplash and hard to tell the actual color of the granite? The only way to find the right color.Īre you going to leave the trim/doors in wood tone or painting white? You might sample them on a poster board leaving several inches of the white poster board around the edges trying the color you sample on different walls checking day to night lights off and on. Aesthetic White is what I went with and it's a bit of a chameleon being a white with a beige undertone, but no yellow by any means and leans ever slightly greige with less light. I sampled SW Heron Plume, Aesthetic White, City Loft and Egret.Ĭity Loft is very pretty white and definitely leans a bit gray. I am in the middle of painting my eat in kitchen and kitchen in a shade of white.
