Experts Share Their "Go To" Neutral & Gray Paint Colors

The White Paint blog from August 2019 was such a big hit! Thank you for the amazing response to my FIRST blog post. So many of you have asked about Gray & Neutral paints - so I went back to the experts and have compiled their answers below.

Thank you for following along and please leave a comment! I would love to hear from you.

Sophie says “Even though its name may sound deceiving, Strong White 2001 by Farrow and Ball actually reads as the perfect soft grey especially when paired with white woodwork. It’s the perfect neutral that can read cool or warm and is a great way to add a hint of grey without feeling overpowering.”

Mindy says her go-to neutral is Benjamin Moore Revere Pewter. “Revere Pewter is a light gray with warm undertones that create a subdued complementary background for layering accent colors within a space.” And, well, I completely agree.

Lacey shared a beautiful paint color with us - Sherwin Williams Accessible Beige. Lacey says “it is my go to because it’s a perfect mix of beige and gray (griege).”

This color is so great, plus I LOVE the name - “accessible beige.”
