Out with the beiges
and in with the grays! As we all know, gray has become the new neutral over the
past few years, and rightfully so. Painting a room gray adds a touch of
sophistication without being overwhelming. I’ve gathered together four of my
favorite shades of gray, which are sure to work fabulously in any room.
Functional Gray

Functional Gray is a
medium toned warm gray. Even in this monochromatic space, it doesn’t feel cold
and unlived in, but in fact, the exact opposite. The space feels cozy and
inviting, breaking all the rules in terms of gray.
Dovetail

Dovetail is the
darkest of all the shades I chose. It makes an impact with its intensity and
contrasts crisp white trims and moldings beautifully. This is a true gray so it
is very cool and compliments warm colors nicely.
Alpaca

Alpaca is perfect for
a light and airy space. It allows the room to feel open. It is less about
making an impact, and more about allowing the other colors in the space to pop.
Alpaca has a slight brown undertone so it works well with all colors because it
is warmer shade of gray.
Amazing Gray

I saved the best for
last! Amazing Gray is my all time favorite shade of gray. It has a beige
undertone so it is nice and warm. Amazing Gray is a wonderful transition color
for those who are a bit apprehensive about painting an entire room gray. I mean
the name says it all, it is simply amazing.
