House paint: MASTER LIST

After painting the wrong color of paint on a cabinet this morning, I decided that it is a good idea to have a master list of the colors of paint in our house. This is the second time that I have mixed up paint samples when touching up something in the downstairs bathroom. Hopefully, with this list, I won't make this mistake again.

Interior:
  • Basement: Valspar, Blanched Thyme, Signature, Interior Semigloss, Base B (Lowe's) 
  • Laundry room: Valspar, Kitchen & Bath, Ultra Int, BsA-391672109-5, 111-1Y27.5, 203-2.5 (Lowe's)
  • White trim throughout house: Glidden, Swan White, Interior Satin (Home Depot)
  • Main level: Restoration Hardware, Silver Sage, Subtle Velvet finish (Restoration Hardware). Update: Silver Sage is discontinued, but I found a custom color match:

  • Downstairs bathroom: Behr, Martha Stewart Living?, Bone, Ultra Flat, Matte (Home Depot) 
  • Upstairs hallway and stairwell: Valspar, Salisbury, Interior Eggshell (Lowe's)
  • Sam's Room: I seem to remember that there was a leftover Disney paint can when we moved here.
  • Office: I think it is Valspar, Martinique Dawn, Interior Flat Enamel (half of a gallon left in basement by previous owners).
  • Upstairs bathroom: Restoration Hardware, Silver Sage, Subtle Velvet finish (Restoration Hardware)
  • Master bedroom: Restoration Hardware, Sea Green, Subtle Velvet finish (Restoration Hardware)
  • Master bedroom closet: Glidden, Egg shell, Low L____ (missing), Martha Stewart Living 122, Milk Pail
  • Studio (updated 2024): 6222 Riverway, Eggshell finish, (Sherwin Williams)
Outside:
  • Front Door: Olympic, Apple-a-Day, Premium Exterior Latex, Semi-Gloss (Lowe's)
  • Porch floor: Behr, Porch & Patio, Lus__Door (word obscured), DP-358, Coffee (Home Depot)
  • Side porch railing and floor: Behr, solid color wood stain, SC-103, Coffee (Home Depot)
  • Fence: Behr, Weather Proofing Wood Stain, solid color, DP-358, Coffee
Mystery/unwanted/unknown paints in basement:
  • Behr, Interior flat enamel, W-F 700, Moon Rise (Home Depot) Left over from previous owners. Could this be the white paint used for the office closet?
  • Valspar, Snow Cap, Signature Sample (Lowe's). I don't know why we originally got this, but J did use this color for the Rouen Cathedral print frames.
  • Auditions, Willow Wind, Satin (Lowe's). Was this a sample intended for the upstairs office?
  • Olympic, C36-4, Horizon Glow (Lowe's). Left over from determining good basement color.
  • Unknown what pink paint was used in office closet
