The Perfect Paint Color

Every time I share a photo of our formal living room/dining room I have a ton of requests to share what paint color we used because it is the PERFECT color. I love it. It's the second color I've put in that room and it will be the last one because it looks so great.

I was looking for a nice neutral color that had a touch of elegance for our formal room. It pops great against our wainscotting and when we add the crown molding the front room will look SO much better. Putting up crown molding was my next project but then we decided to list our house so that's on hold for now. I'm still keeping my fingers crossed we will be selling our house soon so I've put all house projects on the backburner. My husband is grateful as he's not so excited about my never ending list of "fun updates"  :)

This was my first experience with Clark + Kensington paint from our local Ace Hardware store. Typically, I get my paint from Lowe's but after searching their paint samples for months and exhausting all the colors at Home Depot too, I tried something new and I'm glad I did!

I painted the room about a year ago but I kept the paint can (always do for touch ups, etc.) so I could find the name for everyone. I called Ace Hardware and verified so you should all be able to find it yourselves, especially if you are local.

Clark + Kensington Interior Paint & Primer In One, satin enamel finish in Fortrace (D1-6). 

Happy painting!




Depending on how the light hits, the color looks gray or has a violet hue 

The crown molding will make it POP so much more
