Pewter Wall Paint Colors Which Will Look Great In Any Home (plus a review of Benjamin Moore Revere Pewter)

Looking for a gorgeous pewter color?

Let’s chat about the color pewter and a few other neutral paint colors.

I’m SO glad you guys are finding these posts on interior wall paint colors helpful.

I got a lot of great feedback on my recent post on Benjamin Moore’s Chantilly Lace.

So, today I thought I’d feature another great option for your home, a paint color with cool tones – Benjamin Moore Pewter.

Even though many people are moving away from gray paint color lately (in favor of warmer beiges), Revere Pewter is a true beige/gray blend – a greige paint color.

Pewter is such a good choice for your interior walls as it will have staying power for years to come.

If you’re in the market for a pale gray color with warm undertones, this could be the one!

Revere Pewter In Natural Light Vs. Artificial Light

I found these old photos on my phone which both feature Revere Pewter on the walls in our former home.

While the vignette here makes me cringe – these two photos are a great example of how different a color can appear in natural light and in artificial light.

I can’t stress enough how much light (or lack of it) can alter the look of any color.

Revere Pewter: A Great Paint Color For Any Room In Your House

As you can see, Benjamin Moore Revere Pewter looked great in this small sitting room.

I would happily use this color again.

Interior designers all agree this is a great color!

This paint works equally well in a master bedroom, family room, dining room , powder room, living room – anywhere really, regardless of the style of home you have.

If it seems like many of the colors I talk about are Historical Colors, you’re right!

Just like Putnam Ivory, these are all tried and true paint colors which have stood the test of time.

What colors work best with Revere Pewter – The Best Pewter Color Palettes

If you’re wondering what color works best with this versatile greige (grayish beige) paint color, my personal favorite is Benjamin Moore’s White Dove.

This is the color we have on the trim in the photos above, I love the cozy feel it gives a room.

Because this color works as a neutral tone, you can really pair it with almost any color.

A few additional favorites include:

Benjamin Moore’s Simply White

Most black paint colors, especially the black trim colors mentioned here.

Swiss Coffee also looks great.

Ultimately you need to love the paint colors you choose for your walls.

Which is why I can’t recommend trying it out as a sample in your home first.

Because, as you can see from my photos above – even the surrounding light source from one room to another can differ.

This change in light will dramatically alter the look of any paint color.

Live with a few samples of different colors for a few days before making your final decision.

Always be sure to test the color in natural and artificial light too!

My favorite way to test out a paint color is to get these large self sticking paint samples.

Doesn’t this sound so clever?

No messy paint cans to deal with before you commit! Win/win!

If you’re at all curious, you can find them here and try it out as a sample in your home first.

  1. Hello, I Love Revere Pewter. I have it in my clothing boutique Crabapple Cottage in Bragg Creek. My living room walls are Turret by BM & trim & crown moldings are a creamy white. Do you think Revere Pewter would work as a paint colour on my ceiling? Thank You 😊

      I think this might be too dark for a ceiling color on it’s own. Maybe try cutting in half, halfing it with 50% white.
