Gorgeous Gray
With gray being all the rage right now, one of the easiest ways to integrate gray into your space is through paint (of course!). Not only is gray in style for both fashion and interiors, it’s a neutral that is soothing and calming. Just like other neutrals such as beige, brown and black, gray can be paired together with a myriad of colors to create a hip, classic or modern palette. To read more on other colors of the moment, visit this post.
Here are a few grays that are right on the money. The last one, Balboa Mist looks like its a tan, but its really a soft gray that goes especially well with White Thassos and Cararra Marble:
Stone Harbor 2111-50
Smoke Embers 1466
Stonington Gray HC-170
Balboa Mist OC-27

I just found this site and I love it! A lot of great ideas and colors. I have always used Ben Moore paint and I suggest to clients. These grays are a few of the neutrals I use, they look great with red, purple and many other bold colors.
Anyone ever use this site to find a painting contractor in Atlanta, GA?
This is only slightly related, but I thank you for spelling gray—-gray. That other spelling, which I won’t use here, puts my teeth on edge!
I am also looking for the perfect gray color for my family room ! ( a 2 sty room, so don’t want to go too dark) These look a little beige-y for me. I am looking for a medium true grey to go with chocolate brown leather couches. I dont want a lot of violet or beige undertones. A true cool grey for a contrast. Any suggestions? I am having trouble finding it. I generally use BM paint. but will use whatever, if the color is right. Thanks for any help !
Debbie,
Have you looked at BM Classic Gray OC-23?
Good luck finding it! I am trying to find a nice gray for my daughter’s bedroom! She’s turning 16 next month and needs a change!
I need help putting colors together. I am looking at Waverly New England YEllow for the walls or something similar and I need a floor color that will blend with this. This is in a garage, I am opening a grooming shop. Do brown grays or green grays go with yellow? ALso looking at jamesboro gold or livingston gold. I need help. Any suggestions?
I have a 1930’s Colonial painted brick house. We are looking for a gray-ish color to paint the exterior. We will have black shutters, a black front door and white trim. Any thoughts. I’m considering Iced Cube Silver.
Thanks!
