Always test paint colors in your home with large swatches like these large beautiful peel and stick paint samples!
This will make sure the color works with the different lighting and finishes in your rooms.
Make sure to test paint colors in north-facing rooms where the light is cooler and south facing rooms to make sure they don’t clash with the lighting.
Paint Colors in My Home:
I selected these neutral colors for the warmth and style they add to a room.
I also chose them because their undertones coordinate with the undertones in the fixed elements of our home: our exterior siding, flooring, brick ect.

Entryway Paint Color
Sherwin Williams Mindful Gray 7016.
This is my all time favorite gray paint color!
I love it so much I used it as the wall color for most of my first level spaces.
It’s one of the most popular neutral grays.
In fact I love all of the colors on this color strip!
It’s a light gray and is a warm color.
It’s a beautiful shade of gray that’s versatile and inviting!
I used Sherwin William’s washable matte finish on all of our interior walls – but you could use eggshell or satin finish.
How To Pick The Perfect Paint Sheen
Kitchen Walls Paint Color
Sherwin Williams Mindful Gray 7016
This gorgeous color coordinates beautiful with our new white kitchen cabinets and beige-gray tile floors!
Mindful Grays undertones are a green grey so it compliments clean whites and green beige flooring.
It has a slight green undertone which makes it warm and inviting not color or sterile looking.
If you want a space to feel warm and cozy select a paint color with warm undertones such as green and beige undertones.
A paint color with a blue undertone will look and feel cool.

I want to do my open floor plan kitchen/living room/morning room with Repose gray in kitchen/living room and mindful gray in morning room. Can you suggest a color for an accent wall that would go with them (think coastal colors like greenish/blueish gray tones?)
Hi Tori – try Sea Salt or Tradewind!
Love your colors! Where did you find the big picture of the horse? I would love to find one like it! Mindful looks so dark in my house. Do you have a lot of natural light?
Hi Beth! I bought the horse print at HomeGoods a few years ago. I have a lot of beautiful horse art ideas here http://www.settingforfour.com/horse-art-horse-lover/. I do have a lot of natural light in most of my house – there are a couple of spaces where it’s darker. I love the color!
Love the door color! Do you have the names for the rest of the exterior paints that you used? Like body and trim?
Hi Sheri – I’m so glad you like my door color – I get tons of compliments on it – seems it’s a very likeable color! 🙂 I don’t know the exterior paint colors since the previous owners built the house. But the trim is basic white and our siding color is a beige color with a very slight green undertone. Hope that helps! xo Heather
Front door color Weathervane looks awesome. I am building a new home and plan on a red brick with 30% of soft black. Was going to do a black door but this color may actually work with my brick. What do you think?
Hi Sherry! I’m glad you like this color – we love it! Congrats on your new home! Without seeing the color of your brick and other fixed elements like your roof color, I wouldn’t be able to say for sure if Weathervane will work but I have a great article on how to pick paint colors with confidence here https://www.settingforfour.com/how-to-pick-paint-colors-with-confidence/ Hope that helps!
Hello
What paint colors do you have In the bathroom?
Thank you
Love your style
SW Mindful Gray in the basement bathroom and BM Gray Owl in our main floor powder room.
Like everyone else I love Mindful Gray. I also love your fireplace makeover. How much paint did it take to paint the tile? I’m have the same old beige and it doesn’t go with my new gray walls. Thanks for all your ideas.
I’m so happy to hear you love Mindful Gray too! Thank you for the compliments on my fireplace makeover – I’m so glad I painted it! I didn’t use up the whole can. You’re so welcome for the paint color and decor ideas!
I am trying to find a color for my den. I have a north facing room and the paint I’ve tried changes color on my walls. I also have navy blue light blue burgundy and green ,beige in fabrics. Have a light oak flooring. Please help me. Thank-you!
I’d love to help you select the perfect paint color for your den! You can read all about my online eDesign services here! https://www.settingforfour.com/about/online-decorating-services/
Everything is so perfect. You have some kind of blue in the basement bathroom, right? Which color is that? Thank yoj.
Thank you so much for your compliment! The basement bathroom wall color was a gray with a blue undertone – not blue. It looked blue due to the blue undertone and my blue shower curtain and art. The previous owners painted the bathroom and unfortunately I don’t have the name of the paint color. Thank you for your comment!
hi what is the differance between mindfull grey and silverplate grey wanting to paint my master bedroom and bath
Silverplate is more cool than Mindful Gray. Silverplate has a mild blue undertone and Mindful Gray has a slight green undertone. I have a great article on my website on how to test paint colors to select the right one! Search “How to Pick Paint Colors With Confidence!” Hope that helps!:)
I am so glad to find this post. We have decided on Mindful Gray but still concerned it might be too dark. Thanks for putting my mind at ease!
You’re welcome Kathy! I’m so glad you loved this post! Mindful Gray is a gorgeous color! 🙂
