apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time


Color Story: Gray Green, Gilded Yellow & Gallery White
Boston Home, Winter 2009

We are suckers for deep, moody hues mingled with equally saturated brights so when we saw these gorgeous shots of local architect Jeremiah Eck's Wilkes Passage loft, our collective jaw dropped...

 
 

For those asking, "What about the guys?" in our Monday romance post, this one is for you. The deep yet vibrant green gray strikes the perfect chord of sophistication for a bedroom. French yellow and crisp white contrast with the moody gray nicely, clearly delineating the kitchen, dining and living areas — a wonderful orchestration of color for an open loft.

See more lovely loft spaces at Wilkes Passage in the Boston Home article.

Love the gray-green, the contrasting colors against the walls are fabulous!

Great photos but, again, the color combo doesn't exactly carry from the title.

I just painted my kitchen that grey color. It looks terrific, especially at sunrise and set.

HCVMama, what color did you use? brand? I'm looking for a grey-green for a living room/kitchen space. How do you think it would look with white cupboards/applicances and dark hardwood floors?

We just painted our bedroom with Stamped Concrete from Sherwin Williams. It looks fairly close to this. Great colors!

Would SW Green Earth be close (but a bit lighter)?

I've been on the hunt for the perfect grey-green for my dining room. It will be outfitted with a cherry dining table, two head white chairs, the rest aluminum chairs, and I'll have pops of lime green and hot pink in the pictures and accessories. I'm so stinking excited everytime I see another green-grey walled picture.

You said that you got stamped concrete from Sherwin Williams. Do you mean you got concrete stain?
