Hey ya'll I just thought I'd let you know I've had Swiss Coffee from Behr for many years in my dining room and more recently my kitchen . Love it so much and I don't get tired of it . Thanks for the videos , they're great.
Thanks so much. I've subbed & binged your fantastic, informative, super fun content and I'm going with BM Swiss Coffee for walls (eggshell) & trim (semi-gloss) throughout my 1960 brick ranch.
I like 'nude' neutrals not quite pink but but yes that's how my nail polish collection would express .... Look forward to a video on 'nude neutrals'!!!
Behr and Benjamin Moore and valspar swiss coffee are slightly different. I like Benjamin Moore Swiss Coffee better. Behr looks yellowish in certain lighting. To me it does anyway
As a diehard Bennie Moore fan, thank you for turning me onto the color stories line. You are correct, these colors are so complex. I would have never purchased Aura paint, but it was required for this line, and I am more than pleased with the outcome. Please do more color stories reviews!
Hey James! Love your videos. Can you give me some insight on Mountain peak white by Benjamin Moore. Looking for a warm white. Simply white is just a tad too white for me and kinda has a green cast to it in certain parts of my house. Thanks!
I'm so over these neutrals. Would you ever give us actual colour for us eclectic maximum boho. Sick of the neutral boho look that's not true boho. Give us some colour please
I've been avoiding looking at those CSP colors because paint changes color so much anyway in my space I'm afraid of the "colors that constantly change color" whole *thing*. However I gotta be honest, the colors are absolutely gorgeous. They really look like they have seven colors mixed in. They just have so much depth, even in the lighter shades. And somehow they're all colors I feel like I've never seen before. Oh, and they all go together. They are gorgeous. Head's up I've been reading that they are hard to paint with because the paint closes up really fast for one thing. It looks on the swatches like it would be thick as molasses. But this paint is spectacular and I guess BM wouldn't come out with a new product otherwise.
I love your videos ! I am still looking for my color, Ive been looking for about six months. I liked all of these colors, I would love to see several rooms of each of the colors with different lighting and some warm trim. Thats it : )
I'm trying to do an all over one size fits all but my kitch is very bright (72"h 82"w) E window, Lv/Dn combo 2 72"h 36"w E windows but large trees do not allow light. I'm getting a headache w/paint colors.
The depth in Plaster of Paris is great; it looks almost greenish on my monitor/to my eye. It’d pick up the colours in mid-tone warm wood really well, and work well in an eco-boho room. Ps: Please don’t feel insecure! We appreciate you sharing your expertise with us. Anyone who takes issue with pronunciation clearly hasn’t had their morning Swiss Coffee yet ;)
Hi i like how you explan white paints color.what white paint would you please recommend . for dark brown all most looks black. Awsome vido love them aprechate you fan C M
Can you review behr and valspar colors? Sherwin Williams and Benjamin Moore paints are extremely too high priced. $80 is better used on groceries. On sale it is $40 which is still too high.
Thanks for your reply. 😊 I have watched. Many of the Oriental woods like Rosewood are a specific dark wood, The undertone is red and not yellow or ashy. I was worried the colour choices might not be applicable. Thanks again.
Thank you, first time I ever saw any mention of PPG paints. Here in the Caribbean I believe that PPG paints hold up better than SW. i loved Benjamin Moore but PPG wins out for me. Would love for the Paint People to do a video on PPG exterior whites and accents.
@Kristen thanks for asking this question. I’m wondering the same thing. I want a difference between my walls and trim. I saw Studio McGhee used BM Swiss Coffee as whole house color , but at 75% and I’m in love with it!
Very nice colors ...can you help me with a color I choose for my bedroom...its MOON DROP 0026...I find it here in greece from VITEX BRAND...not a famous one ...ty very much...greetings from Athens
I think I'm on your 7th video. Great vids. Just as we finished painting our home in California Repose Gray, which we love compared to a something rain from Bear that we hated for its purple and blue undertones. Just bought a home in Texas and we want something new but not yellow or beige that it has now....
strykeback1// I certainly hope you see this. Are you saying you painted the exterior Repose Gray and loved it? I'm trying hard to find a great exterior color. As you can see I live in Texas too....!!!
@@Donna-vh5ym haha no no we painted the entire interior repose gray. I would go with a deeper darker gray against that blue Texas sky. Finally get to see it and our house for the first time in 2 weeks
@@strykeback1 // that's wonderful, and welcome. So glad you're (or I'll say y'all) "gotta get use to our slang"..lol y'all are Texans now. May I ask what color you went with the exterior for you're Texas home?. This is so hard. I always use Sherwin-Williams, but the exterior is killing me. The interior is always easy because if I don't like it I can just change it myself, but the exterior it's going to cost... Well you would know... $$$$$ and I don't want to mess this up. Any suggestions?? I'm literally obsessed going through colors everyday. And I'm definitely going with grey. But which one.!!! Going back and forth with Mindful grey and ? 😳 IDKNOW!!! Ugh. Thank you for responding, and again...welcome to Texas. Edit: you'll see it in 2 weeks. Yaay..Keep me updated.
I got warm oak hardwood floors with almost amber color and taupe carpet with some purple/pink-ish undertones. What warm white paint should I pick for walls? Sorry, I'm desperate at this point... 😱
I have SW Kilim Beige in my hallway which buts up to an entryway that’s faux painted grey-green (Behr London Fog and Thyme). It is a little dark, but The colors look good together. I’m stuck wondering what to paint the rest of my open concept house. There are no walls between my kitchen, dining and Living room. I use lots of red and green accents in these areas and my kitchen has light grey countertops. I have a medium toned wood trim throughout my home. Would plaster of Paris work or should I use SW Accessible beige?
Would you mind a quick paint recommendation? My house has Valspar Swiss Coffee on all the trim work. I just painted a BM Hale Navy accent wall in my living room, and I want another timeless color on the adjacent walls. What should I use? Brand doesn't matter.
Possibly notable... My kitchen opens to my living room. My plan in there is to paint the lower cabinets Hale Navy and the upper cabinets V's Swiss Coffee. I have white solid surface counter tops that have silver flecks. Eventually I'll get white quartz.
Wonderful video. Thinking of painting my living room, dining room and hallway Behr's Almond wisp. It's a nice greige. I painted a small section of my walls in Almond wisp to see if I like the color in the morning, afternoon and evening. And it's a nice warm neutral color.
I just did the same in my new dark living room. It has a cathedral ceiling which was dark wood. So was all the trim. I thought it needed a skylight but painting most of the trim white and the walls an ceiling Devon Cream did the trick
James I cant decide what colors to paint my house inside and out. you want to come make a video about painting my house ? Its a smooth stucco 1929 Spanish house. Orange county Ca.
You've mentioned all questions are welcome so here is one for you. My guest bedroom is small but has a high ceiling of 12', one small window with an overhang and gets very little natural light. I love green but have not found one I love yet. Can you you help please?
sounds like a perfect room to just go dark in and just go all the way. I would love to have a small off the beaten path room to do that in. And such fun for guests. Urbane Bronze is literally a knock out, There are beautiful rich "clay" colors that are deep and new. Of course that Aegean Teal is amazing. And there are really saturated greens of all stripes. The greens with yellow are a bit out of fashion but so what. Greens with blue and grey in the background are wonderful. If it were my room I would even do the high ceiling dark and put beautiful lighting in and candles . . .my fantasy, your room. Good luck.
@@garypuckettmuse which company makes the Urbane Bronze? I think going all in is the way to go. I've been looking at the BM Aegean Teal but would prefer less blu more green. Thanks for your suggestions
Both are great choices with undertones that will coordinate with the cherry cabinets. Depends on how dark the cabinets are and of course, your personal taste.
I stumbled upon your channel last April. I enjoy you so much. As for mispronunciation. That’s how we learn. You should have heard some of mine! They were beauts! Don’t let it rob you of the joy of learning.
James, thank you for your content. I want your advice despite the fact that you can't see my home lol. I have mid-dark tone wood and have watched enough of your videos to narrow it down to three colors. They are Swiss coffee by behr, accessible beige, and plaster of Paris. Which do you think I should lean towards?
Haha! Can't see your home but I can say that Plaster of Paris kind of splits the difference between the other two so I might go with that. Swiss coffee will read more white and Accessible Beige is a mid tone if that makes a difference.
That's a good point Teresa. It is subjective. It's more about colors that don't compete with the rest of your palette. Some people consider some jewel tones neutral, or if your my sister....she considers plaid neutral lol.
I am painting my whole house and my kitchen cabinets are Navajo white by BM or a good match at least. What color should I paint the walls adjacent to my cabinets? I have a black countertop and brick backsplash. Thank you!!!!
James! GREAT video!! 👍🏼😍 We loved Plaster of Paris and Accessible Beige and they were in our final 5 choices. We ultimately decided on BM Natural Cream (we think 😫). We are also going with BM White Dove on the trim, ceiling, doors and kitchen and bathroom cabinets and Kendall Charcoal on the mud room cabinets. Did we “choose wisely”? 😉 I can’t tell you how much your videos have helped us. Thank you so much!!! 👏🏼💕👏🏼

Aura is the top of the line but too expensive. I bought 12 years ago the CALIENTE color and it is beautiful, still today the painting is impeccable so If you want to have an accent for many years, Aura is worthy.
My living room is paneled 1/3 of the way up. I want to paint the paneling and the wall, should they be the same color? Green is my favorite color. My living room faces east and has a four panel large window.
