Using metallic in your home

Use Metallic colors by deciding whether the wall should suggest metal or actually shimmer. Silvermist style grays can work in baths, bedrooms, and cabinets. Gold and copper notes fit dining rooms, powder rooms, and accents. North light sharpens silver and blue green. South light warms bronze and gold. Pair with clean white, black, walnut, stone, or linen. The warning is finish. Faux metallic paint can show roller marks fast.

Frequently asked questions

Does Metallic paint always shine?

No. A metallic inspired color can be flat, eggshell, or satin with no sparkle at all.

Best Metallic inspired paint colors?

Sample Sherwin-Williams Silvermist (LRV 47), Benjamin Moore Abingdon Putty (LRV 59.99), or Behr 24 Karat (LRV 51.9).

Metallic vs gray, what is the difference?

Gray is a color family. Metallic suggests a material reference, so undertone and sheen matter more.
