YOU ARE RIGHT!!

We used the next swatch on that chip (Sea Haze) for some of our cabinets---chose it because it was neither a particularly blue gray nor a green gray, and I think it's pretty versatile with all of our white trim and cabinetry. I liked Gray Owl a lot, too.

I went to the "for the love of a house" site and recognized I had visited before. I noted that they used Titanium in their master bedroom. This is the color I used in my small dark, one windowed kitchen. Artemis used sea haze and I almost went with that for my kitchen. I looked at a lot of grey green blues and they are all pretty. What helped me with the final selection was to paint up patches on the wall and live with the samples for several days, comparing and contrasting. I must have painted 14 or so samples before I settled on Titanium. Each trial helped me refocus my search even when the trial was a reject. I am going to save this thread to "clippings" so that when I am ready to paint my bathroom (next to the kitchen) I can refer to the colors discussed here, and visit "for the love of a house" again to see her selections.

Here's some of her photos:

More Gray Owl:

This is on my list to look at when I head to the BM store this afternoon. You might search over on the home decorating forum as I think I've seen pics of the color there also. My first thought when I saw the paint chip many months ago was that it seemed pretty blue to me. And, of course, its all about what the color does in the light of the intended room. It looks so good in the Love if A House blog and in the first bathroom pic from Babs.

We tried this for our master bedroom but it looked too green and too dark in our room. We ended up using a color match of an old discontinued Lowes Martha Stewart paint called Newsprint, and we love it. A lot. But we wanted something very light, and very gray, not green, not blue, grey.

Here's the only photo I could find if it helps.

Gray owl is beautiful. My powder room is painted this color and now i am thinking of paitning my bedroom this color too, its very soft and very soothing.

We just did our powder room that color. I love it. I think of it as gray with a hint of green. How much natural light do you have? Some parts of the day it looks more green and other parts of the day more gray. I love it. It is a very soft and pretty color.

My son started to paint his townhouse LR/DR area and all he can see is green? Could the dark wood flooring cast a shade of green on Gray Owl?
