I looked at Classice Gray for my bathroom which has Carrara marble and the color was too warm for the cool gray in the vanity top. Definitely a bit of brown in it. I needed a blue-gray.

Still working on it. Paper White is on the short list.

'i love paper white! but i am painting my place with "classic gray" in livingroom and dining room... since where i live is kind of cold.. Do you guys think if "classic gray" good for foyer ?

Amberkraft, do you have your furniture and things back in place? Sometimes the colors in your flooring, upholstery and accessories will work just as well or better with the warmer tone. Photos?

Classic Gray belongs to the yellow hue family. Which is determined using a balanced quality of light that's similar to indirect daylight around noon-ish.

It's "gray" because it doesn't have a lot of chroma - chroma being actual color or colorfulness. In other words, it's very near a true, achromatic neutral gray.

This isn't the gray to choose if you're looking for a color that looks "just gray". This is a near neutral that a lot of people would reach for the word "greige" to describe.

just painted an entire room with classic gray, and just as noted it looks more like vanilla than gray. It's a nice color but I see absolutely NO gray to it at all. Just beige-vanilla.

@cdisimone

Where did you find your bathroom vanity? It's exactly what I'm looking

cdisimone -- I think the classic gray looks so pretty in your pictures and was wondering if you could tell me what color white you used for the trim?

I was also surprised how non-gray Classic Gray ended up being. At first I was disappointed, but now I LOVE it. It looks gorgeous with our natural wood floors and white trim, and dark gray tile in entries and bath.

@Stacy Lynn - gorgeous.

We're obviously still looking at getting furniture in. The color is cozy and warm while being almost white, and I am actually very happy that we did not end up with a cooler gray, even though that is what we were originally aiming for. Here's a photo with white and gray tile (ignore tape markers on the wall for our painter).

I love Classic Gray in my Study, and went with Chantilly Lace for white trim. Definitely Classic Gray is more of a greige look, but gives a kind of reverse depth when used with other greys, much more pleasing overall than being in the exact same chroma As every othe grey surface in the room.

Hmm. I was planning to go with Pale Oak but now I think I have to check out Classic Gray. Looks a bit more gray but still beige-y and also a very light color, which is what I am wanting.

Stacy Lynn, what was the other colour used next to the classic gray in your room.? Looks awesome.

I have put samples of Classic gray on posterboard (and now directly on my walls) b/c I loved how light and airy it looks in all the pictures online. I am looking for a very light gray/greige. However, the swatches on both the posterboard and walls (both primed with white and one with sunlight and one without) still look too dark for me....darker than all your photos..why is that?

@Stafanie C because the photos you're looking at on your device are illuminated, it's light beaming into your eyeballs.

Color in real life is reflected light to your eyeballs.

Two distinctly different experiences of color.

And it's one of the reasons why color online doesn't look the same as color in real life.

I just painted classic gray on my walls and it looks blue! sometimes I wonder if they mix 100% accurately at the store.

I would ask them to mix it again, blue does not sound right.

I am having the same issue and appreciate all the info above.. Does anyone have LED lights with Classic Gray in a room without a lot of natural light? I am curious what type of bulb you are using and if that can change it and if the walls still look vanilla-ish.

Just finished painting the family room. Classic Gray Benjamin Moore. My room is south facing currently its not a sunny day but thought i would still share.

Looks great! That’s how it looks in my house too, vanilla gray during certain parts of the day in sunlight, and almost white at night with LED lighting. It’s a very versatile color.

I ended up going with the classic gray in my kitchen and the actual color is sooo much lighter than the sample ( good think I didn’t lighten it). It looks more like the photos online. Sometimes very pale gray ( you can see it best against the white cabinets and molding), sometimes more beige, and on a sunny day.. white.
