That’s awesome! I just painted our living room, entry, hallway, and stairs. It took me at least 4 trips to Sherwin Williams and 8 paint samples. I love the color, but it was a lot of angst! (But it’s not Agreeable Grey.)

LOL. The dead LAST color I would ever pick for anything would be any shade of gray. Or yellow. Nope, nope, nope.

I have agreeable gray, I think…I tried so many!
No reds, yellows, pinks or purples in this house.
I have had multiple colors in my house before, including red and terracotta, but I’m pretty much over bright paints, except for in the insets in the walls of which 4 of them are a burnt orange and one is a dark teal. The rest of the walls are gray or linen (Yep, and we love it! To each their own. It’s better than the awful golden yellow that the builders used everywhere, including the ceiling).
I now add my colors through decorations.

I'm TERRIBLE at picking wall colors... TERRIBLE.
By terrible, I mean that I never like it after the wall is finished. Other people don't think my choice is bad. It's just never what I wanted in my head, even when I use samples and live with the big swath on the wall for days.

Blues, greens, tans, burgundy, golden yellow, orange, salmon, gray, lilac. And white.

I now add my colors through decorations. When we first moved into our old house the living room was painted a hideous dark gold color. It was so bad! Even two coats of primer and two coats of paint didn’t totally hide it. It was the second thing to go, right after the equally hideous orange and gold damask drapes. 😱 My go to for decades has been Benjamin Moore Atrium White. I too like to add color with decorations and accent pieces. www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/paint-colors/color/oc-145/atrium-white |

It's just never what I wanted in my head, even when I use samples and live with the big swath on the wall for days. This is me too, which is why I always end up defaulting back to Atrium White, LOL. A good example is the teal we painted the bedroom at the lake cabin. Looked lovely on the swatch but on the wall even the lightest shade is way too dark for me and now there’s no going back. I did end up loving the red, white and cream color scheme we had in the kitchen of our old house, but DH picked it. It was very cute and farmhouse before farmhouse was cool. |

That was 100% on point.  DH has pointed out in the past that they had this commercial with all of these gorgeous colors in it, but then when they tell you their recommendations for colors, they are almost always gray.  |
