Sometimes, I feel like the computer renditions of the paint color don’t fully translate in the most accurate way. However, this is a cool example of a room that utilizes a dark color on the walls, trim and ceiling. Yet ultimately, the room is not too overwhelming.

The interior design of the space mixes creamy white and tan pattern bedding to offset the deeper color of the walls and ceiling.

Kitchen Cabinets in Charcoal Gray – Pencil Point By Behr

Here is a very important example of why it is best to get samples of the actual paint colors for your space. Because, if you do only online research, the color and lighting can alter the actual perception of the color.

See how the left side picture of this kitchen is quite a bit lighter gray than the right side? No problem, but this just calls into question how much natural light your space has. If you have lots of natural light, then the color may appear much lighter. And if you have less natural light and more can-light, then the color will be cast in a darker, warmer hue.

This is a neat example of a crafstman space with all the warm woods and bright white walls. Then, to throw in a dramatic curveball, they have used a dark charcoal paint option, Pencil Point, for the fireplace wall.

In a brilliant effort to allow the black tv to pop against already dark background, they framed it out in a matching maple wood. What a cool idea!

I realize this kitchen isn’t the most amazing room to look at, but ultimately, a lot of us live in regular homes such as this which is just fine! A good dose of reality is wonderfully grounding in a space where perfect imagery makes us feel worse about our homes. Don’t receive that lie! We should be so thankful for a space to call our own and a roof over our head. It’s the little things!

Meanwhile, here is just one more example of this Behr paint color in different lighting as the kitchen cabinet color for lower cabinets.

This room is so well done! I would never initially choose a dark accent wall for a boy’s nursery, but this room came together in such a sweet way. The ‘pencil point’ wall and dark crib is perfectly balanced with a dark dresser on the opposite side of the room.

The circle-pattern rug includes white and black and tons of natural light floods in through the double doors. Moments of color and wicker and gold accent the room and cause you to really appreciate all the details going on here.
