Dear AT,
I fell in love with a photo you posted recently, the blue grey bedroom?
My own bedroom is ripe for a paint job, and I just can't find a paint chip to match it, and it's driving me mad!
So I thought I'd send this and the image in question, and hopefully receive a paint chip ID from someone.
I'd really appreciate anything you can throw my way.
Thanks! Ashley




I agree. I'd love to paint my bed that color. Every blue/grey that I've found is either too blue or purple. Not this shade.

This photo is from Emery & Cie, and the paint is by them. I'm not sure which color it is, but you can probably figure it out by looking on their website (it shows all their paint colors) or by e-mailing them. www.emeryetcie.com.

Please report back when you find out; I'm enamoured of the shade as well.

My bedroom is a very similar color: Piedmont Gray by Benjamin Moore. Or Mount St. Anne, also by BM.

I've got something very similar from Benjamin Moore called First Snowfall (no.1618).

It looks a lot like the color I have on my living room walls: Benjamin Moore paint color matched to Behr Light French Gray chip

I would love to know as well...LOVE the color and I agree with first5times. The few I have found are either too blue, too purple, or too gray

I just painted my bedroom with Benjamin Moore's 1604 Silvery Moon and am thrilled with it. It's more grey than blue and perhaps a bit lighter, but not too far off from the photo.

Why not just take the picture in and have the paint store match it. Have them read the brightest area of the wall and go one shade lighter.

Its pretty darn close to BM Sidewalk Grey. I just painted my quest room that color and love it for a small room. I am now painting my room a Ralph Lauren grey which is darker, I have not bought the paint yet keep going back and forth to the sidewalk grey for my room.. it is a very dreamy color where as RL are more deep. Greys are tough and they change tone and feel all day long.

Pratt & Lambert Silver Birch may be too dark...but that might be my monitor. IT's gorgeous on the walls.

looks like emery et cie's 15 c'est un garcon
http://www.emeryetcie.com/en/what/paints/colours/acrylic-emulsion-paint/01.htm
or maybe 7 vert pale
http://www.emeryetcie.com/en/what/paints/samples/04.htm
there are actually a number of possibilities... why not contact them and ask?
you should buy their colour samples -- there is a store in NY

this paint is very different from BMoore; check out the color charts in person

This looks close to my living room - I bought a sample of Farrow & Ball Borrowed Light and had it mixed in Benjamin Moore. Looks wonderful, changes from whitish to blue with light changes during the day.

I know I suggested it, but I am not convinced that c'est un garcon is the right colour -- they don't have all of them displayed, and did you see the tints they do?
they have pages of them...

Having looked at their sheets, which seem to be on the bed, as well as the earlier post which you fell for, it seems to be darker than No. 15. Just email them, they'll tell you for sure.
