Hi what is the lighter gray color used here? I have been on the hunt for the perfect light gray and every one I find seems to be too dark so far and this one is gorgeous!

    Thank you! The lighter gray is called Dorian Gray. It's from Sherwin Williams. It's going to look like a darker gray when you see a smaller chip of it. The more you paint of a color, it will typically lighten up....especially when you are outdoors..this was a bright sunny day, but on an overcast day, it may feel a little darker.

    Dorian Gray, related to Mindful. Defnitely looks darker on a paint chip.

    Colors, when painted on larger surfaces look lighter...they will also look lighter outside due to the sunlight.


    If you are wanting more of the look of this color as it appears in the picture, and want to use it indoors, then yes, Mindful Gray would be a good option.

    Nevermind. I found that it was Gauntlet Gray. Noting here for others. Looks great!
