If you are looking for a gray that is somewhat neutral and you don’t want a gray that has a green undertone, then Collingwood could be the right paint color for you.
There are a couple of things you need to know about this color, a lot of people claim that it doesn’t have an undertone, they claim it’s a neutral gray, well it does have an undertone, and I’m going to prove it to you in a about a minute. The second thing I want you to know is that you will hear that this paint color is a warm gray, but this not a warm gray most of the time. I’m going to talk about this in further detail but first, let’s take a closer look at Collingwood and talk about the color in the video down below.
Collingwood is a favorite gray color; it works best in south facing living room or a part of your home that gets lots of natural lighting. However, if you are a fan of cool gray with violet undertones, then this could be the right color for you.
Maybe after watching the video, Collingwood might not be the gray paint you're looking for then you might want to check out these gray paint color by Benjamin Moore; Classic Gray, Stonington Gray, Edgecombe Gray, or Revere Pewter to name a few.

Gifted and Knowledgeable!
I have used Jacob approx 3-4x on random houses over the years and he knows his colors !! He has never failed me yet! Highly recommend. Thank you Jacob 😊😊

Beautiful transformation of exterior home paint
Jacob was wonderful to deal with. We answered questions that really helped for Jacob to get to narrow down what we were looking for. We had not changed our house color in over 20 years so it was a little unnerving. We looked at the color choices that he recommended and picked the first option. We could not be happier and have received many compliments on our home.

Highly recommend Jacob!
Working with Jacob was such a help! After obsessing over tons of colors and shades I found Jacob and explained what I had in mind and he absolutely guided me in the right direction. I ended up using his suggested color and am so grateful I did (Natural Tan - Sherwin Williams/Pure White). The paint and trim looks perfect and also so helpful guiding me which kind of paints to use throughout. Highly recommended Jacobs services!

Very helpful
It was pleasant and easy to work with Jacob. I sent him before pictures and we discussed our space and what we wanted to achieve. We wanted an off white that had some “personality” so were excited when the options he gave us included a brand new Benjamin Moore color called Plaster of Paris. A unique off white because it has no gray in it. Thanks again Jacob!

Stunning transformation!
Getting color consultation with Jacob was the best decision I've made. I was looking for the right color to replace the **** yellow exterior body color and it needs to complement the dark trim my house has. Jacob was very professional, his expertise is top-notch. He delivered three options each for the body and the door. No matter which colors I pick, they'll all work together. This was extremely helpful, as I can just pick the colors I prefer, and not to worry about running into undertone problems. The outcome was stunning, it totally transformed and modernized my house! I've received many complements from my neighbors.

Jacob saved my sanity!
Booking & communicating with Jacob was a breeze. I had a clear vision of what I wanted for exterior house body, trim and deck but had driven myself down a rabbit hole of color swatches! I wanted a classic, timeless ‘English cottage’ vibe, however, picking the perfect ‘off white’ that wouldn’t read yellow, peach or pink was challenging. Jacob was able to guarantee due to his expertise that my preferred color choice would be the perfect warm white that I was seeking. He was correct and I am very happy with the end result! Sherwin Williams Alabaster to house body.

Perfect Bedroom Color!
Jacob was outstanding with his customer service and his paint selection. I went through 4 samples and too much $$. Jacob emailed me 4 of his top selection and yep, I picked #1 and it was perfect! Don’t waste money or your time on samples, get help from a professional. Schedule your appointment today you will be so relieved and happy you did!

Nailed it!
Jacob picked the perfect colors to update my home's exterior. I reached out to a couple of other services (both online and in-person), but no one else even came close to my vision. I have a 12-year-old house with very specific fixed elements that had to be considered, and I wanted a clean and updated look. Not only did Jacob bring my vision to life, but he chose exactly what belongs. Amazing experience!

Fantastic service offered
Jacob Owen was well worth the money I paid. I received a very comprehensive color analysis of the various shades that would compliment my home. He made sure to incorporate all the exterior elements of my home in his analysis and provided me with 8 colors that would work well with my home. I was able to get samples of the 8 colors and paint them on the house. He also provided trim and front door colors for consideration. I like that his report contained the brand and type of paint to place on the main body, the trim, and the facia. Well worth the money.

Red Raider Build
Jacob was excellent. So much information in such a short visit. His followup email with details is also great information to fall back on. The expericnce was great....solid 5 stars

So glad I found Jacob
Our kitchen had a violet-undertoned taupe-gray swirl backsplash that clashed so hard with the floor, cabinets, and most of all the putrid yellow walls that I was frozen in fear at the thought of picking another color. But my consult with Jacob went very smoothly and he explained each of his suggestions thoroughly, which I really appreciated. I went with his first choice, SW Natural Tan, and I’m pretty amazed at how great it is. The painters (ahem, my husband and I) got a tad too much paint on the ceiling and Jacob graciously suggested two new colors, gratis. We’ve not tackled that yet, but I’m sure they’ll be gorgeous when we do. I’ll be using Jacob from now on.

Needed Help!
Working with Jacob was easy, reasonable, and really helped me decide on paint colors. I am very happy with my house now!

Condo living room
I struggled with paint selection to brighten my dark living room. Jacob made the process so easy. He gave me 4 choices and his #1 selection is the one I picked. I love it. I plan on consulting with him again for my kitchen in my home.

Transformative wall color change
Jacob provided excellent advice to guide our living room and dining room transformation from an overly dark stone beige to an airy, light, sophisticated and calming Dove Wing by Benjamin Moore. Our furniture and art work have come to life, and rooms look larger and fresh. His advice on paint finishes for the decorative trim were seamless. We are still waiting for some new furniture etc so the photos are only of our painted walls right after they were finished. Jacob provided the AAA+ expert advisement I was looking for. Had bad advice from other so called color consultants. Do not hesitate to consult with him!

Begin Your Search For Paint Color With Jacob!
I didn't and spent a lot of time and money on trial and error paper and paint samples until I finally contacted Jacob. And in just a few hours, he had simplified my plan and come up with a color scheme for my entire home. Several schemes actually, all of which would work. I chose one and have been delighted with it. Additionally I found Jacob extremely pleasant to work with. He was open to all my questions and concerns and explained his suggestions in depth so I not only came away paint schemes that work but also an understanding of why they do. Thank you, Jacob!!

Just the best!
Jacob knows his paint colors! He is excellent at understanding your needs and delivering top notch help and guidance.

Kitchen Remodel
Spot on and very happy to have had his guidance He understands design and has a very strong understanding of how paint color choices really work and impact your vision

Wonderful Results
Jacob gave us 3 choices of color for the main part of our home and 3 choices of color for each additional room. We went with his first choice and couldn’t be happier. Love how everything blends together so well. We are very pleased.

Jacob is my HERO!
After exhausting my search for the perfect paint color for our open concept home, I finally turned to Jacob Owens for advice. He makes the process simple and in one half an hour session, he was able to give me the best paint color for our home. He NAILED it! I couldn't be happier with how this color suits our fixed elements and decor! If you're struggling, do yourself a favor and let Jacob help you too!

Terrific once again
This is the second time I've consulted with Jacob. It's such a relief knowing I can do so. e takes all the guess work out of picking a paint color. His knowledge is unbelievable and I feel confident in his suggestions.
