Benjamin Moore Revere Pewter is a supermodel in the paint world. He’s basically the Navajo White of the 2000s.
Below we have Revere Pewter in two rooms designed by Matthew Leverone for the 2009 San Francisco Decorators’ Showcase. This living room is pretty much all I could ever ask for.
Leverone also used Revere Pewter in the dining room:

Here’s Revere Pewter in a Brooklyn living room:
Artist Stephen Antonson, one of the homeowners, made that plaster mirror.

Architect Birch Coffey calls Revere Pewter a “seagull gray,” perfect for a hallway:
A hallway should be the reverse of what’s happening around it. If the rooms are white, then the hall can take on a more dramatic color. But if it has no architectural features, the dramatic approach can look a little imposed. This seagull gray doesn’t scream for attention, yet it has presence. Light, yet deep enough to look sharp with a contrasting trim.
