Is revere pewter more of a grey of kacki color?
We just bought a house with a grey/red granite in the kitchen and I wanted to use this color throughout the house on the running walls and in the family room and dining/living room since it is a pretty open floor plan. By looking at the BM swatch it looks very kacki but here is looks very grey. Please let me know what your thoughts. This room is absolutely stunning!!

With gray you have undertones: purple, blue or green. There are also "greiges" - gray/beige hybrids. Don't forget to include these in your sample testing as well as off-white colors with gray tints. You MUST get a sample of one shade of each and paint them directly on the walls you want to paint in different areas. Wait a day so you can view the samples morning, midday and evening in natural and artificial light. The changing light is so important, as well as the trim, flooring, furniture, neighboring wall colors, etc.
Here is a good example. Look at the color card with Benjamin Moore's London Fog (1541). Brown, right? In my home it read true gray and I absolutely love it. Will it read the same in your home? Probably not! Trial and error are necessary, but the payoff will be great once you get it right! Good luck.
