Has anyone used either of these colors? If so, what do you see in the colors, blue, green, purple?? Any undertones?? If you have pictures, I would love to see them. Thanks

I have BM Titanium and I love it in my situation. It is a very light greenish gray. I had 3 colors sampled on my walls and I believe they were Rodeo, Titanium, and darn I can't remember. Well, the Rodeo read tan, Titanium read green, and the one I can't remember was mauve like. They all were very light gray/whitish. Putting them in my north facing room and watch for several days was really helpful. I must have tried 14 different colors before finding Titanium. The following pics are all in morning light.

Here it is in my dark kitchen remodel:

...and another full view:

Here is Titanium in a close up of cherry cabinet, white glass tile (has greenish cast to the glass), and a tan marble tile mosaic; switch cover is white:

It is hard to tell, isn't it. The color is so in the background, but so important to the other elements. I absolutely love this for my space. My floor is a darkish greenish/gray/tan/navy blend, slate look alike, click together, floating floor. I have put bright orange in the room with my walls and cabinets and it looks nice. I have an old picture that I will want to reuse that has a red poppy orange color in it and it looks terrific too. I have a bunch of paint sample cards from the stores of a variety of pale blues, periwinkles, and a lavender taped up in a strip and these colors look good too. I was trying to find what colors I could use for my accessories. My space is very small and I needed this light color. I tried samples of darker gray green or gray blues and they were always too saturated with color for my needs. When I went very light I found that that was the direction to go. Then it was a matter of looking at the very light grayish colors, comparing for yellows, blues, greens, reds, purples. I love Titanium for my kitchen, it is so calming!

Oh, and BTW, the white I used for the ceiling is BM Cotton Balls.

You kitchen is beautiful and the titanium is beautiful in your space. So glad you told me about the green tone. I would have liked to use this color in my master but my comforter has not green but a lot of blue. I really like this color in your space. thank you very much

Hey, I will up load an image of my paint samples on my wall before installation of cabinets. The 3 main light colors along the bottom are from L-R, BM Rodeo (tanish), BM Unknown Color, (mauveish), BM Titanium, greenish and the one I chose to go into the kitchen! I love the green/gray/white color. The color above the shelf and on the right is BM Gray Wisp I think. It was too saturated for me. I joked with my family that I loved not resolving the color selection "cause I can go look at more colors!"...and paint them on the wall ;)

No silver blues in my repertoire of samples, because I knew that I wanted it to lean green. I love all colors! It will be worth it to get samples next to each other that are in the ball park of what you want. I read somewhere recently on GW that silver blue gray may read differently in the space because of sun adding color. I know all of my walls looked just a bit different depending on the direction of the light. When I painted 2 walls of a corner with a sample I was shocked at how different the same color looked. I couldn't believe it came out of the same pot. There are many blues in this light color of gray. Have fun looking.

A note to remember that color is *so* influenced by light, as les reminded on another thread. We have a beautiful BM light silvery blue in DD's bath, just the most amazing tone but I painted it on a door that adjoins the bath, literally right next to it but different light because it's not lit by daylight directly (the bath has a large skylight) and it comes out reddish gray! Seriously. We have titanium in a hallway and it reads silvery blue. No direct natural light (the hall opens to rooms with windows, but has no direct access to windows itself).

Short version: I'd suggest getting a sample, painting it on a board or on some watercolor paper, and holding it up in your space for 24 hours to see what overtones come out. You might be surprised. For instance, enduring's version comes out green because green is the complement of the reddish tone in the cherry. If you have other tones, you might end up with what you want.

I used Titanium White in my west facing kitchen, and it's very beautiful - slightly green cool as writer above affirms but not clinical, and it also contrasts with bright white trim, but subtly. All told, I find the color quite soothing, clean, and not dirty, even in shadows.
