**POST UPDATE! Since sharing this post I’ve had so many questions about my paint. It got a bit complicated with Frazee switching to Sherwin Williams. Some of you were having a hard time finding the exact color, some of you had questions about what sheen we used, some of you wanted info. on our white paint or our ceilings or on rooms I didn’t share in this post below.
SO! Because I love you all. 🙂 I have spent hours getting everything figured out for you! This involved a few trips to my local Sherwin Williams, several phone calls with my painter, and going back to where my mind was during building and painting our house which quite frankly is a place I didn’t really want to return to.. ha. 😉 I then typed EVERYTHING up for you on a printable that you can print out and keep! This printable includes ALL of my paint colors throughout our home (exterior and interior). It also includes the brand and number that goes with each color. A few of these rooms I haven’t even shared on the blog yet! But now you’ll know the name of the paint color when I do. 🙂 Feel free to read the post below, but you will have a much easier time finding my paint colors with the exact information I share in my printable. Happy painting! 🙂

Ok friends. It’s finally here! A post that contains ALL of the paint colors throughout my house. This post has been a long time coming for three main reasons. First because “what is the paint color of your _____ room?” (insert any room in my house) is the number one question I get asked. On average between my blog, Instagram, Facebook and e-mail I get asked that question around 20 times a day. That’s a lot of time I spend typing out paint colors! 😉 The second reason I’ve been wanting to write this post is because for someone who thrives on organization, there are a lot of things about my blog that aren’t very organized! Ha! Go figure. 🙂 I’ve mentioned all of the paint colors in my house multiple times on my blog, but they are all in various posts and random places making it difficult for all of you to find. Hence the 20 paint questions a day. I recognize that I did that to myself. 🙂 Reason three is because you guys.. I GET IT. The struggle is real when it comes to finding that perfect paint color for you house. Especially when you are working with gray paint which is a great neutral and really popular right now. Gray is tricky and I want to help you! I spent months knee deep in gray paint when we were building and went through every single shade of gray possible (at least it felt like it!) until I finally found my favorites that look amazing in my house. Will they look amazing in your house? I don’t know. That depends a lot on the lighting in your home so please put a large sample on your wall before you have at it with any of these colors! But I do think that overall my grays are at least a great place to start if you are looking for that perfect gray. So here we go! Let’s talk PAINT.
**Almost! 🙂 One important thing before I get started! A lot of my paint colors are by Frazee. Frazee is a popular paint in the southwest states. Soon after we finished building our house, Frazee joined with Sherwin Williams. You can still get most of the colors, you just might have to talk to a Sherwin Williams rep. if any of the names have changed.
{EXTERIOR GRAY} Our exterior gray paint is actually a custom mix. We started with “Capricorn” by Frazee (Sherwin Williams) and then we darkened it a bit. Don’t ever be afraid to lighten or darken your paint! If it’s the right shade but you want it bolder or less bold, just have your painter or the paint store darken or lighten it 25% or more and try that.
{EXTERIOR WHITE} All of our exterior white paint is “Snowflake” by Frazee (Sherwin Williams).
(You can see more of my front porch here.)
{MAIN INSIDE HOUSE COLOR} Ok. Let me introduce you to my all time favorite gray paint. I’ve been having a love affair with it for quite some time now and over half of my house is painted this color. My all time favorite gray is “Seattle” by Frazee (Sherwin Williams).
My front entry gray is “Seattle.”
We carried “Seattle” throughout our downstairs hallway. (Hallway light source.)
It looks lighter or darker depending on my pictures, but all of the hallways are “Seattle.”
It’s also the color in our family room. Here is why I LOVE this gray paint color so much. In my opinion.. it’s not too dark and it’s not too light. It’s also a TRUE gray. All grays have undertones which is why they are so tricky to work with, but this gray really just looks GRAY! It has a coastal vibe to it that I absolutely love. It’s also the perfect backdrop for any and all colors you want use in your decorating. Yes. I did a major happy dance when I met “Seattle” by Frazee. 🙂
It’s also the color in our dining nook. (Dining nook sources are all at the end of this post.)
I didn’t have much wall space to paint in my kitchen, but carried “Seattle” through any spots I did need painted (mostly around the ceiling). I get asked a lot about the paint we used on all of our cabinets and I’m sorry I can’t give you that! It was a custom mix my cabinet guy came up with. He showed me a white he wanted to use and I told him I wanted my cabinets more white than that, so he came up with a brighter white for me and it was sprayed on my cabinets. I basically wanted to have to wear sunglasses in my house because my built-ins were so bright white. Ha! Got my wish. 😉
{WHITE TRIM THROUGHOUT HOUSE} While I can’t give you my white cabinet color, I can tell you that it matches my trim perfectly. All of the white trim and molding throughout my house is “Arothane” by Frazee (Sherwin Williams).
More “Seattle” and “Arothane” going up the stairs.
I loved “Seattle” so much I also used it in our upstairs hallway.
{MUDROOM} Also “Seattle” by Frazee. I almost painted this room blue and then changed my mind at the last second! Glad I did because I like to use blue accessories in this room. And red. And whatever color I’m in the mood for which is why I love gray neutral paint. (You can see how I organize my mudroom here and more mudroom details here.)
Our downstairs laundry room is right by the mudroom so I just stuck with “Seattle” in this room also. Especially since there wasn’t much space to paint. (Full post on this laundry room here.)
Mostly just this wall. Still need to cover that ugly outlet box!
My girls’ bathroom is also painted in “Seattle.” I had a different color ready for this room and just like the mudroom, I changed my mind at the last minute and decided to keep it neutral.
Full post on my girls bathroom decor here and you can find room details here.
My formal living room (just shared pics of it decked for Spring here!) is mostly white so a lot of “Arothane.” The small bit of gray on the wall is of course, “Seattle.”
{LIVING ROOM CEILING} I wanted the living room ceiling to be a darker gray and ended up choosing “Elf” by Frazee (Sherwin Williams). (Living room details and sources here.)
{DINING ROOM} I wanted our dining room walls to be a bit darker than the rest of the house so I choose “Wavelength” by Frazee (Sherwin Williams). This is a really good gray if you want something a little darker without a lot of undertones. The inside of the white built-ins are painted in “Elf” just like my formal living room ceiling.
{UPSTAIRS LAUNDRY ROOM} Our upstairs laundry room cabinets are “Wythe Blue” by Benjamin Moore. I really LOVE this color. My cabinet guy thought I was absolutely crazy to paint my cabinets this color. I thought he was absolutely crazy to think I was crazy. 😉 
The wall color was tricky because of the bold cabinet color. After trying multiple colors, I ended up choosing a soft, light grey. You can see it on the left side of this room. It’s called “Silver City” by Dunn Edwards. (Upstairs laundry room details here.)
{OFFICE/CRAFT ROOM} My office walls are “Tinted Ice” by Dunn Edwards. It’s a bold aqua color and for a while I wondered if it was too bold!
But as soon as I decorated this space and brought more black into the room I fell in love with my aqua paint all over again. 🙂 (All office details/sources here.)
{PLAYROOM} My playroom is a softer aqua/blue color. Clearly I like blue/greens! This room is painted in “Icing on the Cake” by Benjamin Moore.
(Full post on playroom organization here.)
{KITCHEN ISLANDS} I often get asked about the color of my kitchen islands. They are painted “Chelsea Gray” by Benjamin Moore.
{MASTER BATHROOM} I haven’t shared all of my master bathroom yet (coming at some point!) but I’ll tell you the paint color you can see in this picture of my tub. This room is painted “Silver Trophy” by ICI Paint. (Full post on my tub shelves here.)
So there you go! My favorite grays along with the rest of the paint colors throughout my home. I hope this post was helpful! You can also check out my paint board on Pinterest. I’m always pinning new colors I love to that board. I’ll add to this post when I finally share all of our bedrooms. A lot of “in progress” going on around here! Enjoy your week friends!
And happy painting.
