(You can read all about this fireplace makeover here: ) 4.
In the family room, I painted the fireplace tiles and behind the shelving all with SW iron ore. In looking at it in other lights, it can read a little too much on the gray side. However, if you are looking for a true black, this may be too light. You can see the difference here between the tiles (iron ore) and the darker black fireplace doors. It’s not super stark, it’s a nice “light black.” To me it’s just right. Just as alabaster is a great white to me, I feel that iron ore is a great black. The vanity is not, so you can see the difference in the whites here. The shiplap here is painted in alabaster. However, the white used on this stenciled feature wall is also alabaster! You could even call it a bright white here. In some lighting or at different times of the day, it can look “almost off white” as it does in the background. The walls, cabinets and trim are all in SW alabaster here in the family room. To me it’s just white and the perfect white. It only looks that way to me if it is being compared up against a bright white. Some say it is actually more of an off white. Yet in some lights it does still seem bright. I used it on the trim on the outside of my house, the trim inside (second time around), on built ins, my dining room chairs, a barn door, in my half bathroom, my entryway feature wall, family room and kitchen….I’m probably forgetting something, and I will use it again! I love that it is white without being super bright.

It’s just a touch of “greige” instead of feeling like full on tan or brown walls. I like how it’s adds some color without too much color. This is considered a “greige” but is more beige than gray.

However, remember that lighting can change the look slightly from one photo to the next. To get a clear view of the colors, I didn’t use filters on these photos. Maybe this can help you on your search ?Ī lot of these colors are neutral, because they are personally what I like to have in my home!
So I thought I’d share what I’ve come up with as my personal favorites. When choosing paint colors, I like to look at rooms on Instagram and Pinterest and save ones that look good to me.
