So what kind of paint color is Benjamin Moore Revere Pewter?

Revere Pewter belongs to classical gray neutrals. It can be categorized as a light to mid-toned gray that has warm undertones. Because of this specific feature, Revere Pewter is so universal and can be used in many spaces in the house.

But even despite those warm undertones, we would not say it will turn beige that so many people are afraid of. More likely, the color will show itself as pleasant greige. For instance, in warm lighting, it can even look closer to earthy and rustic greige.

This paint color has an LRV of 55.51, and if you are wondering what that LRV means, it is simply the light reflectance value. It shows how well a certain color is able to reflect light when being applied onto the surface.

As for the Revere Pewter, its LRV rate is somewhere in the middle of the scale (which includes 100 points).

Naturally, when it comes to lighting, it matters a lot how well the room is lit. Depending on that, the paint color will reveal certain undertones it has. For instance, if we apply Revere Pewter on the walls of a room that faces North, the color will appear to be fair gray with notable greenish undertones. In most other cases, it will look almost taupe.

What colors go with Revere Pewter? As for the complementing colors, Revere is a great choice since it can be matched with so many of them, both warm and cool! In particular, it goes well with such neutrals as BM Edgecomb Gray, Mysterious, Chelsea Gray, and White Dove. In addition, it will create a win-win combination with brighter colors like different shades of pink and coral, or with more soothing tones, for example, teal or green.

How to Combine Revere Pewter And Living Room Decor

Since Revere is a perfect choice for large rooms, such as a living room, no wonder people often pick it up for painting the walls there. However, then an issue arrives of how to combine this color with a living room decor so that the whole space looks harmoniously.

To enhance this neutral greige, try to make use of a neutral-colored rug. It will create a visual anchor for the whole room. Also, if you have a sofa in a warmer tone, it will bring the whole neutral palette together.

If, on the contrary, your goal is to pop the color, we would recommend you using curtains of any bold and bright color. They will stand out against this elegant greige and highlight its warmth better. And like that, you will have no problems with deciding what color of the curtains to use with Revere Pewter!

As for the decor elements, Revere matches well with metal items of golden and silver colors. So if you have lamps, door handlers, or other minor pieces like that, feel free to incorporate them into the interior, the living room will only win from their presence!
