Ceiling Bright White is a pretty darn cool white, I would change it, as Edgecomb does prefer a cleaner or softer approach. Chantilly Lace can look lovely or something like Sherwin Williams High Reflective White!

Hey Venessa! It’s so hard to say without seeing the WHOLE space. I’ll say that my general thoughts are that as much as ai LOVE PASHMINA, it’s a commitment to depth on the walls (it would be great on CABINETS with Edgecomb Gray walls!). I lean much more into Dove Wing, or even more so, White Dove! OR, if youy want to go lighter, try Edgecomb Gray 50%, see how that looks! It’s hard to say as the glazing can change EG a bit, but those are my first thoughts:).

DEFINITELY, 1000% 🙂

Thank you! That’s BM Revere Pewter darkened by 50% 🙂

Hi Kylie, do you have a wall color suggesion with Venetian Gold/Santa Cecelia countertops? I have creamy white cabinets (leaning yellow) in our bathroom and have tried Edgecomb gray but it’s looking a little pink, probably because of our oak trim. I have BM ballet white and BM gray mist also on the walls and these seem to work but room is north facing so it’s hard to judge with minimal sunlight. Am I on the right track or completely off? Love your blog!

Ooo, I would worry about Edgecomb just not connecting enough with the colours in the countertop 🙂

Hi Jody! Divine White is a tough one, but I’m sorry, Edgecomb Gray won’t make the cut!

Actually, quick question to accompany your reassessment–you obviously like Edgecomb and Urbane Bronze together since you’ve used them in your own home, but do you think that the green undertones in Urbane Bronze “activate” the pink undertones in Edgecomb if there are other warm tones in the room?

Ha! Well, if you want to gush over me, I won’t protest. 😉 I have to admit that if you had called this color “taupe” in the posts I had read before making my color selection, I would have run away from it because I have both orange-toned wood, rust and green-toned tile floors, and I live on a hill with lots of Ponderosa pines outside the windows of my Pacific Northwest home. I’ve been surprised by how changing to eggshell finish (as opposed to the matte which read so much more pink) and attending to the light shining on it has really neutralized/eliminated my sense of the pink, which was, indeed, making me “twitchy” (to use a phrase I’ve heard from a favorite color consultant).

Amy. You might be my FAVOURITE PERSON EVERRRRRRR! You’re right! So, I used to keep things a bit more generic and straight-forward, but lately, I’ve been trying to tweak things a bit, adjusting explanations so that in the BIG picture things make sense – THANK YOU for noticing! And the interesting thing is, EG is like RIGHT on the brink, it’s easily called both (whereas some greiges and taupes are so DEFINITELY different). Seriously, this made my day!

Oooo Rebecca, you’re speakin’ ma language! I love it :). Okay, so the Alabaster DOES make it trickier to do what you want as it is a warmer yellow base white. Edgecomb Gray is STUNNING and sometimes, when we need to accommodate a variety of existing finishes we have to find that balance. HOWEVER, you could check out Creamy…which isn’t beige, but it’s pretty in a palette with Alabaster and Edgecomb. I also love White Duck, as long as it doesn’t make Alabaster look a touch too yellow in comparison 🙂

Oh you BET it would!

Great! Thank you for your advise.

Ermmmm. I wouldn’t. The thing is, it’s a pretty combo, but Edgecomb does grab a weee wink o’ pink and with White Dove on the LARGE scale, potentially showing a bit more warmth/cream, it woudl make me nervous. I’d do FULL Edgecomb, but not 50% ;). I might SAMPLE 25% though!

Hi Helen! I haven’t seen Edgecomb go violet. A few thoughts…

1. The look will definitely change when its dry! But if not,
2. Make sure it’s not the old colour flashing through, which can happen with only 1 coat of paint
3. Change lightbulbs
4. Consider the trim you have it with as it could look a certain way just ‘in comparison’ to the trim colour
5. Make sure it was in fact mixed by BM and check the colour match!

I hope that helps 🙂

Hi Kim! I don’t think so, I think that could be a beautiful combo. I find that it’s cream/yellow that can make Edgecomb look a wink pink more so than green.

Thank you, Nadine, that’s Sherwin Williams Urbane Bronze 🙂

Hi Rhonda! Check out the subtle approach of SW Cyberspace! I have a lightened Edgecomb with Roycroft Pewter and love it as well 🙂

Thanks. Your website was invaluable to me in helping me pick the right color.❤

Oh, I wish! Edgecomb really is a creature unto itself. Your best bet would be to ask them to ‘colour match’ it for you – which most SW’s can do. It may not be exact, but it will be closer than any samples they have :).

Hi Tricia! I can depend on the products down there, but you might want to check out BM Ballet White to lift things a bit!

Hi Danielle, I believe that was a laminate flooring!

Hi Jennifer, unfortunately at this time I’m only focusing on Bm and Sw and aren’t familiar with the colours in Behr!

Hi Sue! I DO think the gray thing is slowly on its way out and a lot of people are swaying a bit warmer. It’s really more about what suits YOU and your home. I would imagine that in 5 years we could even see beige right back in business as the fave with the way things are going!

What are your thoughts on fog mist in comparison to edge comb grey?
We just installed new Anderson wood windows and the white wood windows are slightly grey. Would decorators white work well? So many whites look too creamy and are making the window color too grey.

Does Decorators white sit well with Edgecomb grey?
