BIG CHILL! MY FAVORITE!

I know this is an old post, but Passive by Sherwin Williams is just gray. A really pretty gray.

Crushed Ice is a perfect gray.

I like Glidden Fossil Gray - it is a putty looking Gr-eige... and picks up gray or beige

Proper Gray,Sherwin-William, Every Color looks different in different lighting. Current wall color influences the color. Make sure you have the right primer.

Working with Interior Designers saves money.

I'm in the process of trying most of the paints above....going crazy!

I have found the perfect color for me. I painted my bedroom and bathroom SW Perfect GreigeHGSW2475. I also liked Adley Grey 2476. I painted an accent wall Garret Gray SW6075. Will color match at Home Depot and I think the samples are free.

These work well

Knitting kneedles SW

We just painted oyr dining room in SW Popular Gray. Love it. Warm but not too yellow or green. Looks wonderful with dark wood.

Grey is very tough looks different in every house depending on lighting furniture etc .. I used SW Light French Grey . I love it perfect .. when it was first going on it looked a bit blue I was nervous but once it dried and everything went back in the room it was perfect!

Another vote for bm nimbus (NOT nimbus gray)

no undertones at all

After expensive (sadly) tries I came upon Lazy Gray. My house has lots of light so it reads true gray. Good luck...I did the white sheet trick and colored five drawers on an old dresser in the garage ...with all the grays on the drawers next to each other and a white sheet hanging over, Lazy Gray won. Hope the pics help...we are in the middle of a new build.

I was exactly in the same situation. I have purchased so many samples from SW. All I want is a true grey color. First, what helped me was buying the SW color fan. Then you can ascertain what is a true grey as opposed to a greenish grey or brown grey. My recommendation is SW Essential Gray for a true gray color.

I love Mindful Gray for a true gray color. I use Mindful Gray here for an example. I compared it with Repose Gray and Passive:

We are in the process of building a new house and were between Evening Shadow (reads slightly in blueish zone) and Argos (more of a greenish/brownish grey). We went with Evening Shadow and our accent color was Daphne.

You need to paint areas with different light with paint/primer first then try all the colors you already tried once again on the white areas. You will be shocked how your paint samples that showed too blue or green will change. So you may find something that works with what you already have. The color on your wall are making the undertones in the samples come through.

Repose gray is very

It's amazing how different the actual paint on the wall looks compared to the chip. I'm up to sample #6 and just about to lose my mind. I LOVE Useful Gray by SW, but in my open LR/kitchen with northern & southern exposures, it looks different on each wall. My fear is that it's going to look too juvenile - I really love the watery gray, green, blue tones, but the grown up versions! Any advice will be welcomed!

What did you decide? Pictures? I am debating Light French Grey, but with increased pigment. I find it very light.

Light French grey is great. I used in kids rooms. Not to light looks wonderful and a true grey.

I had good luck with Sherwin-Williams Anew Gray.

We just had a nightmare with choosing grey. Chose Light French Grey and the first batch was darker and more blue than sample pot. Rep came to see and store adjusted. We have since lightened it again and fingers crossed. Grey is soooo tricky.

We used SW Snowbound on the trim.

Accent wall looks great.

I made these. This is our kitchen- natural light.

Love

kel-kat -- I ended up going with SW Useful Gray. Boring name, but nice soft gray that is very soothing to the eye with no strong undertones.

We used SW Big Chill in our living room, foyer, and hallway, and SW Monorail Silver in all 3 bedrooms. Big Chill is a nice light gray without undertones at all, so it goes well with all colors of decor. Monorail Silver has bluish-purple undertones, which is very soothing in bedrooms. We've received compliments on these colors. Oh, also our MBT is SW Watery, which I absolutely love.

@divapaula Is it a greige?

We used sw repose gray in our home. It’s a light grey and it’s beautiful

FARROW AND BALL have good greys.

On the rocks is a nice sraight light gray

We did light French Grey, but then played around with it and lightened to suit.

Did you it anyone end up painting their exterior Big Chill? Would love to see a pic. Thinking if doing our exterior in Big Chill.

I went with Joanna Gaines Sunday stroll copied with Sherwin Williams paint and it is my favorite! Lighting will make it look gray with a tinge on the brown side. With my wood laminate floors it has brown in it and it works. I like earth tones so I like the colors. At night led lighting makes it look on the brown side but it makes me feel cozy.
