Gray is a very "in" neutral right now and I love it. I wanted a warm gray in this condo with more of a brown feel to the gray. I also love how orange plays with gray and want to bring that color into the condo through accent pieces.
I like having all the walls a single color throughout a space. I think it helps to visually guide you from room to room. Those of you who know my primary residence might question why I didn't do it in that house. Light plays a big influence on color and how the color looks in a certain light will win out over personal preference. In my primary house the darker shadowing of the entryway needed light color and the brightness of the living room with the floor to ceiling south facing windows needed more color. The Anjou Pear in the family room was "just because it was fun"!
The palette is from Benjamin Moore's Infinity colors. I really like that all 144 colors will work with each other. No guessing if they "go" or not...they just do. The Pashmina with be in the living room, parlor and down the hallway. The Weimeraner will be painted in the two bedrooms. I was looking for a deeper color for a more restful feel and to add drama to the bedrooms. The Mascarpone is for the wood trim and the Buttered Yam is for the accent colors that will be found in art work, pillows and accessories throughout the space.
The bathroom, dining room and kitchen are still "works in progress" in my head. I have yet to come up with defined ideas yet for those spaces.
