Gray Lake and Gray Owl Paint

May 24, 2013 By Layla

Did I say we were leaving for Minnesota yesterday? I meant today!

Benjamin Moore Gray Owl and Gray Lake Paint Lettered Cottage

Slight change in plans, but we’re all set to leave this morning now. Yippeeeeee!

PS- That’s the view of our Gray Lake paint (in the sunroom, on the left) and our Gray Owl paint (lightened by 50% in the kitchen, on the right) from our back door…which I’m walking out through as soon as I shut off this computer- LOL!

    Looks beautiful! I’m ready to change our walls from ivory, off white and cream to pale gray. I just have a hard time finding a gray that doesn’t have a lavender or blue hue in certain lighting.

    Hi Layla,

    The gray owl you used by BM is it 2137-60 that you lightened by 50% or OC-54? Thanks!

      When you say owl gray paint lightened by 50 %. What did you do? Just half white half owl gray???????
      Thanks,
      Looks like the gray I have been searching for!
