Mid-tones are the most versatile. When applied to dining room walls, Iron Ore transforms the space into a modern, polished environment with timeless appeal.

Try It Now — $3.99Gray paints almost always have an undertone — blue, green, purple, or warm beige. The undertone becomes more visible on large wall surfaces.
Test your gray in both natural and artificial light. Cool grays can look blue under fluorescent lighting. Warm grays are more forgiving across lighting conditions.
The dining room is one of the few rooms where dark, bold wall colors consistently work. Navy, deep green, or rich plum creates a dramatic setting for meals.
A rich accent color on the wall behind a buffet or hutch creates a gallery-like display backdrop. Chair rail molding with a darker color below and lighter above is a classic dining room treatment.
Eggshell for living areas. Satin for kitchens and bathrooms where moisture is present.
Medium grays typically cover well in 2 coats. Very light grays may need 3 coats over dark colors.
Satin finish gives dining room walls a subtle sheen that looks elegant in candlelight and evening lighting.
