Colour of the Week...Smoke and Mirrors, Benjamin Moore CSP105

I frequently get asked to choose a paint colour, especially a gray.  It really depends on the room and the client.  The best way to choose a colour is in the room that the colour will be painted in.  Everyone has a favorite.  But, Smoke and Mirrors is one of those magical colours that has depth and illusion.  You can paint this colour on every wall in a room, and it will look like you have 2 or 3 different colours instead of just one.  It is a gray with a brown undertone. 

It is very warm and comforting colour.  Because it changes in light, you must try it out before you commit to it.  Either paint a sample on the wall or order large paint chips and stick them on the wall.  Do this on a day that you will be home most of the time.  Check the colour SEVERAL times during the day, evening and night.  You may also want to sample the colour on different walls in the room.  You will see how it changes.  It is also a very nice colour if you are choosing to paint cabinets. 

Some nice complimentary colours are City Shadow CSP60

And Skipping Stone CSP 105
