So if you goof, don’t sweat it, there’s a million other colors out there for only about $40 a gallon.Red brick homes have an immense charm and character to them! The ultimate idea of ‘Countryside’ and ‘Cottage’ flairs in as we peek through a red brick house, somewhere hidden amidst the lush green bushes.
It’s the easiest and cheapest way to transform a space. Hope all this info helps someone to not be in love with their latest color adventure. While not intended for kitchens and baths (try SW Emerald or Duralast for those), Cashmere has always been true to its namesake every time I have used it on my home. I love this because it won’t easily splatter or drip. It’s also a bit thicker than most paint formulations.

It creates a lush, splotch free finish that is perfect for the amateur weekend warrior.
Meaning, that as it dries, it literally levels out and continues to spread out slightly so that areas that you were more heavy handed on with the roller will look just like the areas that you were not as generous. It’s perfect for living rooms and bedrooms because it’s a softer formulation that reproduces colors beautifully but better still, it has self leveling agents added.

Pro tip: for DIYrs, try Sherwin Williams Cashmere labeled paint. And hands down, luster is almost always overlooked as a contributing factor to color going awry. I worked as an on site cor consultant for Sherwin Williams some years ago and part of our training and troubleshooting was being able to understand all the elements to go into reproducing color correctly in your space vs what you see in the store on small chips. It’s washable and provides a “barely there” reflective sheen in which the color chosen won’t be easily skewed by different light sources. The cure to minimize this is to use the least amount of sheen as you can get away with.
So a pure white, semi-gloss will appear cool and bluish in fluorescent lighting and warm and natural with late afternoon sunshine. While this is desirable in certain instances and necessary in some (you’d be brave to paint a kitchen or bath in flat paint), the paint color will surely be tinted by the reflected type of light. Rule of thumb is the higher the luster the less reliable results trying to achieve the true hue. One last thing to consider that is often overlooked is sheen (flat, eggshell, satin, semi-gloss etc). Summary: LED, not fluorescent, bulb that is warm white (3000k is my favorite) putting out no more than 7 watts will help you reclaim the love you had for your paint choice. Too powerful and will wash out any paint color. An LED of 9+ watts will feel like you’ve come out of a cave and stepped onto the sun itself. You may think soft white is the reasonable choice but soft white still pulls from the bluish Kelvin range. Ugh! I have found that if it’s not a smart LED bulbs with customizable white light settings (preferred and cheap on Amazon) then I always opt for warm white. The latest LED bulbs are now available in the lower spectrum without looking like the copper tones street lights in residential neighborhoods. However most incandescent bulbs are in the 2700-3500 range which is a much warmer golden light. They typically emit light in the 4500-6000 Kelvin range which is a pure white to bluish white. To those taking issue with SW Sea Salt or any other color “changing” based on angle, the most likely culprit for this is the use of high efficiency light bulbs. Now to get this to all work together with the Shaker Beige with Cloud White trim throughout the rest of the house!!! (insert smile emoji) and am going to note down your colour combos. This bathroom is soooo small or else I would paint the cabinet Hall Navy!! In the master ensuite, I really have this etched in my brain…. Perhaps just leave the door white painted in a beautiful soft white? There is a lot going on already! But… I am going to go for sea salt in our small upstairs bathroom! Painting out the cabinets BM’s Cotton Balls (we already have a large can of it I can use) going for white cabinets and a light or white countertop. The Soffits and eaves, a column and our rain downspout are also this teal colour. We have black railings on our porch, darker sandy/grey colour floor on the porch, and we have some rock work beside the teal trim which has charcoal and grey colours with a hint of the sandy colour of the siding. How would sea salt look with this? Or would something like BM’s Sea Salt be a better choice. The trim colour is a darker version of Agean Teal. Our house, cira 2003, has sand colour siding and teal trim. Great post!!! Trying to find a colour for my front door as it needs a much needed lick of paint.
