I was inspired by Aerin Lauder's living room in the Hamptons, which has pale lavender walls and loads of blue and white. I tested many colors and finally settled on Benjamin Moore's "Slip" at 50% intensity. I loved Slip but it was too dark, at 50% it is just right and is a lovely lavender-gray. I would love to see pictures when you are done!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07968887057309155208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2395859504434574133.post-46243971635061697482014-08-30T14:45:21.749-04:002014-08-30T14:45:21.749-04:00Ralph Lauren used to have a pale lavender called C...Ralph Lauren used to have a pale lavender called Cape Cod, I have used it for two jobs, it's beautiful.Margaret McElroyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10471819009321288932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2395859504434574133.post-12491626827296725582014-08-30T12:28:04.910-04:002014-08-30T12:28:04.910-04:00Check out Farrow and Ball's Calluna.

I'm also considering it to work with navy but best of all, it will work with a broad range of other colors if desired.

Don't you just love it?!<br />What would be totally gorge is to first paint the walls with three coats of primer, sanding between coats- then apply a base of a very pale grey tinted white satin or semi gloss finish. Then stipple a pale lavender custom mixed glaze over that, finish it off with a poly coat of satin clear polyurethane which will not yellow with age. Stunning!<br />Dean (not a robot)Dean Farrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11651467227402717540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2395859504434574133.post-37353256667250749992014-08-29T12:30:15.835-04:002014-08-29T12:30:15.835-04:00Sherwin Williams Queen Anne Lilac is a bit darker,...Sherwin Williams Queen Anne Lilac is a bit darker, but very subtle and sophisticated.

Our son, who has an excellent eye for color, says that purple tones look brown in low light conditions. When I wanted our guest bedroom to be purple, ivory and green, he suggested the perfect green for the walls instead. I am sure whatever lavender you select will be wonderful. Best of luck.<br /><br />pattyswellshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03967167661796619790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2395859504434574133.post-90628753444867527672014-08-29T11:17:01.920-04:002014-08-29T11:17:01.920-04:00OK.
