QUESTION FROM A READER:
You have given terrific advice in your blog and I'm hoping you can help me ... I am desperately trying to figure out two things: (1) what color wall-to-wall carpeting would go with the following BM colors: Edgecomb Gray, Porcelain Glaze and I Love You Pink? We are debating between light grey and a light beige ... Help! Any advice or insight? I'm concerned that the beige/tan will look odd in the pink room (should I get an area rug with pink to help diminish any tan?). I have ordered the grey carpeting already and am now having second thoughts. Thank you in advance! Lauren
Lauren,
Edgecomb Gray is a very light gray, with a warm undertone.
It should look good with either carpet colors, but I can't say for sure without seeing the carpet with the paint sample. Above is a photo with a light gray rug to give you an idea.

Its so neutral, the only real danger would be in getting a carpet a little too light and in an off tone - so that they clash a little. But slightly or more darker shades of beige or gray should not be an issue.
Benjamin Moore PORCELAIN GLAZE
Blues always look good with grays - and with beige
as do pinks:
Benjamin Moore I LOVE YOU PINK
For the pink I would choose the gray over the beige as the contrast will be better - warm vs cool.
I think you will be the best judge of the Edgecomb -
have a look at your paint swatch next to your carpet sample... but your idea of an area rug would work the same magic there to correct a slight mismatch.
Love to see how everything turns out!
Good luck!
