The Best Gray Paint Colors For Your Home
WE ARE BACK!!! With the website revamp going on, we took a break from the blog to focus on the rest of our site. Our site is still a work in progress, but we hope you like our new look! It reflects our style and aesthetic- clean, crisp, and inviting. Today on the blog we are talking about the color gray. We love a good gray, but this can be a tough paint color. Depending on the size of the space, amount of natural light, surrounding furnishings and about a million other things, grays do not always turn out the way we’d like them to. Sometimes gray can look taupey or have a lavender undertone. Stick with these go-to grays for your ideal paint color and we promise you can’t go wrong!
Iron Mountain- Benjamin Moore
The perfect charcoal gray, we love using Iron Mountain as an accent color on interior doors, cabinetry and wall paneling. It is a bold and saturated gray that adds subtle drama to a space. Paired next to a crisp white, this duo is unstoppable!

Agreeable Gray- Sherwin Williams
When in doubt, Agreeable Gray it out! A warm neutral that goes with just about any other color. With a soft beige undertone, it is sophisticated, inviting and looks dreamy against white trim.

Silver Streak- Benjamin Moore
Silver Streak is a cooler gray with blue undertones. This color stands out best amongst a neutral palette and will help pull shades of blue from other aspects of the design.

Repose Gray- Sherwin Williams
A soft gray with warm undertones, we love Repose Gray because it is a flexible color. This is the truest “gray” of the bunch. In rooms with tons of natural, bright light it doesn’t look washed out. It can also hold its own in a darker, smaller room.

Gauntlet Gray- Sherwin Williams
Gauntlet gray is a deep gray that is not too dark. It has more brown undertones than black. This is a great exterior paint color and works well for cabinetry, wainscot and trim. For a bold and dramatic look, go for a high gloss finish!

Silver Song- Benjamin Moore
Silver Song is a soft, muted color with sage green undertones. We love this on the walls of a master bedroom because it feels calm and peaceful. The slightly green hue gives this color a farmhouse feel.
