I was introduced to Benjamin Moore Revere Pewter about 4 months ago while in the midst of a master bathroom renovation. When I took my bath tiles to the Benjamin Moore store in search of a paint color, the salesman immediately pulled out the Revere Pewter swatch! Initially I was hesitant, as I was thinking something along cream, but I finally decided to trust him & purchased a gallon. It was the best decision I made! I have taken that color through 11 rooms of this house & will use it again when the last 3 bedrooms are done! It is an incredible color that I dearly love!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad that you posted this! I'm in the process of choosing a wall color for our living room and have samples of several of the colors that you featured. I'm painting the trim with White Dove and am about half way finished. (What a chore!) I'm hoping to buy some samples today to paint onto poster board to help with my decision.
ReplyDeleteAll of our trim is white dove and it was pretty much all unpainted when we bought the house. It made such a difference when I painted it. And yes, it was a real chore! I can't wait to see which color you go with.
DeleteI want to change some of my rooms color to gray you have given me some great ideas,thanks.
ReplyDeleteWell be sure to try these colors in your room before you commit. What looks beautiful in one home may look horrid in another. Revere pewter was the most god awful color in my home. It looked like blah cement in a room with north and west windows. We repainted our entire home (this was one of the colors) before we sold and the realtor didn't even include THAT room with RP in the listing. It was that terrible. I did my due diligence -- I had even tested it on a wall, two coats of paint over a wider base of primer so I could get an accurate representation. But up on the entire walls it didn't work. In any case, it looks beautiful in others homes, just not mine. We are in a new home now and I'm anxious to test Coastal Fog. It looks beautiful here.
