What Undertones SW 7653 Silverpointe Paint Color Has

Undertones often make paint colors tricky and complicated to use in your home. Homeowners often face the same issue when they buy paint that appears to read differently in a catalog and on their walls. All because they didn’t sample it before buying, and undertones showed up unexpectedly.

Speaking of SW Silverpointe, this gray color has complex green-blue undertones. This is why you must always consider what colors are around this hue in your space to tell in advance how it may read.

Also, you should take lighting into account. Depending on the lighting conditions in a room, this gray may affect the space differently. In the presence of excessive light, it tends to make a space look lighter and brighter. Whereas on the other hand, the absence of natural light will make a room look comparatively darker.
