Everyone loves gray. It's become the go-to paint color.
Choosing the right shade can be tricky. I think it catches people off guard. If you have never worked with gray paint there's something you need to know, it's a "paint color chameleon". Here's a common scenerio...you unassumingly walk into a paint store, pick a gorgeous color, bring it home, put it on the wall and...
the color changes completely.
It can suddenly become blue, green, tan or lavender (light purple). Gray has many different undertones which appear much stronger once the color is on the wall.
Unlike many other colors,
gray is highly sensitive to it's surroundings.
I came up with this list of tips to help my on-line design clients choose the perfect gray...
If you find yourself purchasing more than 4 or 5 samples, my advice is to cut your losses and call a local designer/decorator for an in-home color consultation. It will cost less than a million paint samples and your sanity.
