Benjamin Moore Revere Pewter HC-172 Details and Specifications

Before we jump on to the color palettes and schemes, let’s first discuss the practical aspects and specifications of this beautiful paint color.

Remember, it is crucial to first understand the color in order to use it in homes. Every paint color has a story to tell – and that may differ from one another.

Similarly, no two colors are exactly the same, even though they tend to appear ‘similar’!

So, read carefully to know more about the hidden scientific knowledge about the color.

First and foremost, it is important to understand the concept of Light Reflectance Values or the LRV’s that help in determining how light or dark the paint color is.

In this case, the LRV of Revere Pewter is 55.51. And that means the paint falls on the mid to lighter end of the scale – as the greater the value, the lighter the paint.

Also if you are wondering where to find this value, well, simply look at the end of your paint palette. Or you can even contact the manufacturer or have a look through their website!

Secondly, other important associated terminologies are the RGB and HEX Values that further tell us what the color is made of.

Red = 203

Green = 198

Blue = 184

HEX Value = #cbc6b8

Now that we have discussed enough about the technical and scientific information, let’s get started with the practical aspects of this warm gray Benjamin Moore paint.

How Does this Color Feel in a Space?

Undoubtedly, this timeless color is bound to make your space feel ‘weighted upon’ and at the same time, characteristic, bold, striking, strong, and daring.

With a warmer texture, the color ends up releasing warmer vibes to the interiors of your home – hence, making you feel cozy and enclosed, especially in the colder regions.

Moreover, I recommend using this paint in homes that are not-too-small as this color will positively leave a negative impact and make you feel dizzy and uncomfortable due to its bold character.

Hence, use it only in spaces that have a fair share of size and probably higher ceilings.

How Does Light Affect the Color?

Here comes another major aspect in choosing paint color for homes – light reflectivity!

So, before you pick a paint, just look around and observe the incoming natural light in your space – whether it is too little or too much – your color solely depends on this criteria.

In this case, use only if your space is receiving ample natural light. Else, incorporate only on a single wall – as the ‘accent’!

Furthermore, I recommend using this color on the north and south-facing walls to create a cohesive and balanced environment.

You can also add desirable artificial lighting in the form of pendant lights and chandeliers to further create the desired mood.

Maybe play with warm whites or warm yellows?

What are the Best Coordinating Colors?

Now here comes the most awaited – color palettes and color schemes!

Are you excited about it?

So, now that we have discussed the practical aspects of the paint and how it feels like, it is important to carefully pick colors that best align with this timeless paint.

You can either choose a contrasting or a monochromatic color palette – depending upon the interior design style!

Well, here are a few of the colors I would recommend for a monochromatic palette!

1. 2108-50 Silver Fox
2. 2108-40 Stardust
3. 2108-20 Sierra Spruce

On the other hand, here are a few of the colors I would recommend for a contrasting color palette!

1. 2143-70 Simply White
2. 2095-40 Mudslide
3. 2098-30 Dark Nut Brown

For your ceilings, trims, and moldings – I would recommend using BM Simply White to further achieve a creamier look or else if you want a crisp look, choose BM Chantilly Lace.

BM Revere Pewter Vs Similar Colors

This color doesn’t have a lot of similar-looking options because of its distinct character. However, I am going to list down two options that are hereby closely related!

One of them is BM 1485 Brushed Aluminum and the second one is 973 Ice Formations.

Let’s see how the three of them differ.

Revere Pewter Vs Brushed Aluminum

This elegant and beautiful paint color is a warmer gray alternative to BM Brushed Aluminum. With an LRV of 56.39, this paint tends to be slightly lighter than the former.

You can absolutely incorporate it in homes keeping in mind the similar tones of the above-mentioned complementary colors.

Undoubtedly, this color aligns towards the steely grays with a slight touch of warmth as experienced in the west and east-facing rooms.

Revere Pewter Vs Ice Formations

Very similar to the above two, Ice Formations is a perfect alternative!

It has very warm undertones and makes a great option for traditional-styled homes. With an LRV of 55.51, this color definitely shares reflectivity similarities with the former!

For even accurate results, I recommend buying real-time swatches and paint samples to determine the true hue or you can also place it against a white sheet of paper!

Where to Use Revere Pewter in Homes?

Revere Pewter makes a bold and characteristic statement when used in homes!

Especially for the interior design styles such as traditional, transitional, French-country, Modern Bohemian, and Modern Farmhouse – this color is a plus point!

Let’s see how to specifically use this paint in your spaces.

Revere Pewter in Living and Dining Rooms

For larger living and dining rooms, Revere Pewter can make a great base and neutral as well! Whereas for smaller spaces, I recommend using this paint only as an accent!

So, if you want a cozy and comfortable experience in these spaces, you should definitely incorporate this paint.

It goes amazingly well with the traditional furniture, white sheer curtains, hardwood floors and cabinetries, glass shelves, and neutral linen upholstery.

In the case of a fireplace, choose a natural stone to clad the surroundings.

Using Revere Pewter in a Bedroom

There have been quite some time when I have recommended this paint for use in a bedroom.

It gives a nice appeal when used on all the walls with white painted trims and moldings.

You can either choose a velvet bed frame to add a touch of luxury or simply use exposed metal for a rustic appearance!

And that is what the beauty of this paint is – it tends to seamlessly align its style.

In case you have a TV Console and dresser, you can even ensure to choose white paint or a similar finish for this surface.

Using in Kitchens

Lighter and subtle kitchens are the best!

You can choose the transitional style and paint the cabinets in this color and let the backdrop wall be pure white.

Furthermore, you can add a white veined marble countertop, brushed nickel pull drawer handles, and industrial-style pendant lightings.

Using on Exteriors

I would recommend this color in Traditional, Transitional, Country, and Farmhouse style homes – hence, if you have one of those styles, do use it for your homes!

You can definitely pair it with either soothing whites, charcoal blacks, and muddy browns on the trims, moldings, and door and window frames.

So, how do you want to use this color in your homes? Interiors or Exteriors?
