Our Top 10 Gray Paint Colors

Agreeable Gray by Sherwin-Williams

Agreeable Gray is a light gray paint color with some warmer beige undertones. It also has a very slight purple undertone which adds depth to it. This color works best with a bright white that has no yellow undertones. The greige in Agreeable Gray will bring out the yellow in the white and it will not look as clean and crisp.

Requisite Gray by Sherwin-Williams

Requisite Gray is a light to medium-toned color. It has enough pigment to keep it from getting washed out in a room with lots of natural light. It has a mix of subtle purple and warm undertones. This color gives you a ton of options for a coordinating white. If you want to bring out its warm undertones, then a warm white would be perfect. If you want to bring out the cool tones more then a bright white is the way to go.

Mindful Gray by Sherwin-Williams

It is a bit of a darker version of Repose Gray, which makes it very versatile when paired with white. A bright white would stand out and give the space a great modern look. A creamy white would bring out the warmth in this gray and create a cozy, more traditional look.

Big Chill by Sherwin-Williams

Repose Gray by Sherwin-Williams

Repose Gray is a gray with greige and faint purple undertones. This color won’t brighten up a very dark room; however, when it is painted in a light room, its warmer undertones add depth. Pairing this color with a white is very flexible. A white with some slight creamy undertones will make the space feel a bit warmer, while a brighter white will give it a more modern feel.

Kendall Charcoal by Benjamin Moore

Kendall Charcoal is a deep and luxurious gray paint color. It is great for a feature wall or accenting wainscotting. Its undertones are complex but it usually leans green. For south-facing rooms, Kendall Charcoal will look warmer without straying into greige territory. In north-facing rooms, this color will look solidly gray with almost no warm tones. It works well to accent bright white but also soft creamy whites.

Coordinating Colors:

Passive Gray by Sherwin-Williams

Passive Gray is a light gray paint color. Its undertones tend to lean blue or purple, but it will not look purple on your wall. Passive is a very flexible gray because you can’t really see its undertones. When looking to pair this color with a white paint color, it is best to choose a brighter, crisp white as opposed to a creamy white. The bright white will bring out the depth of this color.

Color Code: SW 7064

Coordinating Colors:

Alpaca by Sherwin-Williams

Alpaca is a greige color with some warm brown undertones but also a hint of purple that makes it a bit cooler. Alpaca works great in rooms with softer lighting so that it can bring out its greige undertones rather than the purple ones. Alpaca would look great with a white that has very slight creamy undertones because it will warm up the space and make it feel cozy. A bright white trim color could bring out the purple undertones a bit more.

Color Code: SW 7002

Coordinating Colors:

Dorian Gray by Sherwin-Williams

Dorian Gray is a medium-toned color with a slightly greige undertone. This color will add warmth and depth to a room that has a good amount of natural light; in a dark room, it will make the room look even darker. This color pairs very well with a bright white and also looks great with darker hardwood floors.

Color Code: SW 7017
