A few days ago I asked via IG stories: “what’s a home design trend you’re not crazy about?” and I was surprised by some of the answers. A few responses were “the gray trend”, which, I’ll admit, was totally me about a year ago.
Our house needed to be painted 51 shades of gray and there was nothing stopping me from doing so (until my love for color and pattern began to flourish).
I’ve learned a ton about paint colors during my hunt for the perfect gray(s) last year after we bought our house. After a few weeks and 14 sleeves of cookies, I eventually found the perfect gray paint, which I recommend to clients when they’re also on the hunt for justtttt the right gray.
What an audacious statement to make. The perfect gray? What even makes up a perfect gray paint?
Using my powerful creative abilities, I wrote a poem for you to comprehend just how perfect this gray is:
Not too warm
Not too cool
Not too dark
Not too light.
Just….right.
Drumroll, please……
It’s a gorgeous pale gray and I’ve never seen a photo I didn’t like with Repose on the walls.
These are the reasons why I believe Repose is the perfect gray…
LIGHT + NEUTRAL
We don’t get a lot of light in our house, so I had to factor in the Light Reflective Value of the paint I chose.
LRV is essentially how much light the color will reflect on the walls, and is crucial to understand in order to choose paint for your home. Shameless plug – if you want to learn more about LRV, download my free guide to choosing the perfect paint here.
Anyway, Repose has an LRV of 58, which is fairly light, but it can appear darker in rooms that don’t have a lot of light.
A good example of how Repose looks in rooms that get little light vs. a ton of light:
This photo of our living room is completely unedited and you can see that there’s little natural light coming through. The walls appear to be a neutral light-medium gray.
MyTexasHouse uses this color in essentially every single room of her gorgeous home and you can see how much lighter it appears with all that natural light just pouring through.
IT GOES WITH EVERYTHING AND ANYTHING.
Repose rarely ever looks too warm or too cool. But, I do want to note that the lightbulbs you use can drastically change the colors of your walls. To avoid the walls appearing too warm or cool, I always use neutral 3000K bulbs.
One of my biggest concerns when choosing the perfect gray was picking a color that looked too blue or too yellow, but Repose is as neutral as it gets, even with its slightly warm undertones.
I also want to note that if your floors and furnishings are on the warmer side, then your walls may appear warmer as well, but that goes for any color.
If you’ve been on the hunt for a beautiful, pale light gray that goes with nearly everything, this is the color for you.
How do you feel about choosing paint colors? Have you found that “perfect” color that you love to use throughout your home?
Have a fantastic week!

I have been looking for a gray for my Small 3 bedroom house that I am trying to furnish with antiques and I love these gray thank you. I am so glad I found your website. Thanks Delma
aglassofbovino says
Aw of course Delma!! I’m glad you found this helpful 🙂
Jane MacDonald says
GREY, isn’t a colour it’s a shade.
It’s also bland like Magnolia. Please let’s get back to using true colours for our homes. Cave men invented colours for painting walls cos grey is boring
Amy says
You do you. Let others do them. Your opinion isn’t everyone’s. I wish more people would realize that these days. And if you don’t like gray, then why did you click on this post?
joe says
ok grouchy
Brenda McCartney says
I would like to use repose for the wanes coating on the bottom and something a shade lighter on the top half of the walls. Is there a lighter gray that would go well with repose?
Catherine says
Just use Repose but do it at 50-75% reduced color saturation
Crystal says
Does this turn blue or green in different lights? That has been my struggle as we’re flooded with light.
Lindsay says
I’m considering repose gray for our wall in a hall bathroom. Do you think it’ll look good with SW slate tile on the cabinets and a white/gray tile floor and shower? Want it to compliment the slate tile paint and the tile but not be to dark. Love this color!
Donna Arnold says
I read on their website that it’s more green than gray. I have what sounds like a lighter version of this color on my walls in my home that reads the same way. It’s translucent like and turns green with a slight blue hint. It’s organic but sophisticated at the same time. It was painted this color when we moved in the home new. I was a little skeptical of it but it goes with nearly every color. It’s Sherwin Williams Useful Gray.
Donna Arnold says
I’m so sorry I thought I was commenting on the bathroom post where she uses the Farrow & Ball French Gray. Useful Gray is not like Repose Gray at all.

Alicia says
Beautiful and very helpful, what white trim did you use.
Dianna Willis says
What trim color did you use with SW Repose Gray?
Shalese says
Yes please, what white for the trim?
Anita says
I am also interested in why color trim and cabinets with repose gray?
Dee says
I have completely lost it, looking for the perfect gray paint in the last 3 months. We actually though we had the perfect gray, painted my small bedrooms Gravity by Valspur and they totally turned out Blue. Since, I’ve been buying samples of Gray paint and it’s has driven me insane. I’ve sampled Cityloft Gray, Agreeable Gray, Collonade Gray, Grayish, Modern Gray, Balboa Mist, and finally Gray Owl by Benjamin Moore. Gray Owl came the closest to what I want but it still didn’t Woo me. Looking at this Repose Gray excites me! This is exactly what I want, just a hint of Gray. Thanks for sharing. I’ll be going for Repose Paint today.
aglassofbovino says
Hi Dee!
Trust me – I know what it’s like to “lose it” over finding the right paint colors. I’ve tried most of those grays you tried, actually. My kitchen was City Loft for a week, my downstairs is Agreeable, I loved Collonade but didn’t move forward. And of course I tested the ever popular Gray Owl. I hope you like and end up using Repose Gray! 🙂 Good luck!
Alisa
Verónica says
Hi, I’m curious to know how did the Agreeable gray looked like? Would you let me know?
aglassofbovino says
Hi Veronica! That’s the color of our bedroom and basement and I love it. In rooms that get a lot of natural sunlight, it’s a gorgeous light gray with a hint of warmth. I highly recommend 🙂
Lisa K. says
Repose & Agreeable are gorgeous slightly warm grays! After testing both in my home, I chose Repose as it is ever so slightly cooler but Agreeable Gray is gorgeous too and very close to Farrow & Ball Cornforth White. Enjoyed your post and your bedroom pictures are stunning!!!

REGINA SARTAIN says
I am looking for 2 grays to use in our home, both soft. I want the lightest color on the walls, with the darker gray on the cabinets, trim and doors. Currently we have picked SW Argos for the cabinets and Zircon for the walls, but I am concerned about how well they will coordinate. Any suggestions? We have samples from Sampilize but I am.still nervous and really need to tell our builder the colors tomorrow. We switched to Zircon from On The Rocks, but are not 100% yet. Obviously. Ha.
Laurie says
I have a SW Aquaverde accent wall with Mindful Gray cabinets and my floor is a combo of gray and taupe. The room is on the north side so it does not get a lot of natural light. Which gray would be best in this area?
C says
I chose Repose Gray for my home after doing some research. I love the color. I have gotten so many compliments on the color.
Muriel says
Thank you for your article. We are moving into our new home in the next couple of weeks and I am in a paint dilemma? Help please ! The builder has painted the interior Dover White by Sherman Williams and I want repaint the walls Anew grey by Sherman Williams .. but rethinking after your article … Any ideas would be fantastic in regards to a grey that will go with Dover White… We get a lot of light and our Kitchen cabinets are a white linen oh and our floors are a very light grey tile with hints of beige
Tara Johnson says
What color did you choose? I am remodeling a house and painted samples of anew gray on walls in south facing and north facing rooms with lots of windows in each room. On one wall it was gray, on another wall it was brown all in same room. I was wondering if you had same issue if you went with anew gray. I decided on repose gray for all main areas since we have open concept.
Kali says
I love this shade of grey! We’re considering it for our home reno. What kind of floors are these?
Maddie says
I believe my Texas house.. which is referenced in this article used Repose gray at 50% lighter.
Sherry says
You’re exactly right! It is!
Kaki Johnson says
Well I love it so much i painted all my bedrooms and hallway. Even painted bedroom’s ceiling with it. Hallway ceiling white to help lightening it up. Living room white with using Repose Gray as a flow color. Matched with SW “Little Black Dress” another color from SW and gotta tell you love it. Good painting!!
Karen says
Article was informative but the foul language was totally uncalled for.
Tricia says
Actually, I found the cursing well placed and not overdone. Love your decor dahling!
Susan says
What foul language?
Margo says
I will definitely be putting Repose Gray in my new house! Thank you! What other colors will compliment this gray? Don’t want an all gray house lol
Judi says
You must have been reading a different article than I did…what foul language? Great insight.
aglassofbovino says
I removed the foul language because it was offensive to others. But I’m glad you liked the post Judi!!
Ellen says
I’m sorry you felt the need to dull your colorful self for prudes. Sometimes I like to sprinkle in obscenities just to weed out the sensitive ninnies.
Thanks for the helpful post on Repose Gray!
Deb says
We need to stop bending for the few who feel they have to be offended. My good ess what we have become that the few that are easily offended get their way.
Good info here. Stick to your own style and don’t feel you need to edit for the few. —She wouldn’t edit her story for you.
Virginia G says
Mytexas home uses only 50% repose in the mix probably making it much lighter.
Tam says
Totally agree!!
Rebecca says
You crack me up!!!! ???????????? I love your post and sense of humor! With you help I’ve finally found my perfect grey.
aglassofbovino says
LOL! Thanks Rebecca! I never take myself too seriously. I’m so glad you found the perfect gray!!
Kelley says
Hi, I was also on the hunt for the perfect neutral gray a couple of years ago and settled on SW Agreeable Gray. It’s in that same “greige” family. I’m in the process of turning a large/wide coat closet into a mudroom/landing area with shiplap and stained wood. I think Repose Gray might be a good compliment to the areas not shiplapped. Thanks!!
aglassofbovino says
Kelley – so funny you chose Agreeable because I used that for the other half of my house, LOL! I wanted to break it up and I think it’s definitely on the “greiger” side of Repose. But certainly a beautiful color!!
Nicki says
I lo fee this color, but when I painted it in my daughter’s bathroom it looks like a completely different color. I tried to change the light bulbs but still no luck. We are moving, and I really wanted to use this as my color for my house but I fear that out will turn blue/ green like in my daughter’s bath. Oh one more question the neutral 3000k lightbulb, I never heard of that before. Are you in the UK? If not what is that and where do I find it?
aglassofbovino says
Oh no I’m sorry to hear that! Does her bedroom get any natural light? And I’m not sure how lightbulbs work in the UK, but essentially a 3000k lightbulb is a very neutral type of light. It’s not too warm and not too cold. Hope that helps!
Karen Morrell says
Does repose gray work as well on the exterior(stucco)?
aglassofbovino says
Yes – Sherwin Williams offers their paint colors for exterior as well. I’m not positive about stucco, but the reps at Sherwin Williams are very helpful and will probably be able to tell you whether you can use it on Stucco or not! <3
Hazel says
We used repose grey on our stucco house in Southwest Florida and we love, love, love it! White trim and an orange door. It’s the perfect grey!
MrsAmyLW says
Ok. You’ve convinced me. Hubby and I decided to paint our old, brat up hardwood floors. We decided to go with a lighter gray instead of white. Per your recommendation to someone else, going to see how it looks 25% lighter since the LR is a northern exposure
Lan says
We are repainting our whole house in a couple of weeks and I am stuck between repose or agreeable gray. Like you, our house doesn’t get a lot of natural light. Since you used both colors, which one did you think gives a fresher, brighter overall feeling?
aglassofbovino says
Hi Lan! I think that Repose gives a fresher, brighter feeling. However, if your house doesn’t get a lot of natural light you should consider lightening Repose by about 25%. Hope that helps!
Bonnie Grant says
Do you think this will go with Cream kitchen cabinets, granite with predominately beige,brown tones and a beige,brown oblonged tile backsplash? My kitchen gets alot of natural light andI ask because I painted repose gray on one wall of my coffee bar and it is really light and I’m thinking I need darker in this area? I have already gone crazy and in recovery, now trying again… lol!
aglassofbovino says
HI Bonnie! It sounds like it might work with what you have, but if you get a lot of light in your space then Repose may be too light for you.
Lisa K. says
Mindful Gray (SW), darker side of Repose is stunning too and works beautifully with Repose!
Carolyn says
I also have some beigey colors in my kitchen. I used Gracious Greige (it’s either SW or Behrs) on the walls and Valspars Aviatrex on a built in buffet. It’s very nice. Soft and soothing with a pop of white trim.
Carolyn McGuire says
I painted my last house repose gray and loved Went well with any accent color. Sold that home last October. Bought a townhouse, it was painted a very light gray but it’s just not the right gray. Cabinets were left light brown stain color. The woodwork and doors are in need of painting , plus cabinets. Can you please help me with the color of white for the woodwork and cabinets. That just has the right contrast with Repose Gray.
Sandra says
Also love Sherwin Williams Silvermist…a favorite for inside and also outside for beach cottage, which makes the white “pop”!
aglassofbovino says
Yes Sandra, I totally agree. Silvermist is a great gray!!
Chevette says
Going crazy trying to find the right color for the home. Kitchen cabinets are nutmeg by Timberlake. The house has very little natural light but has some natural.light in the kitchen. Will repose gray work with the cabinet colors? Floor colors are light colored hardwood tile
aglassofbovino says
Hmm… that depends. Are you looking to paint Repose in a northern facing room?
Samantha Hess says
I painted the entire exterior of my house Repose Gray. I love it. I do have white trim, but am now considering painting my shutters and awnings in either the same color or one shade darker. I’m going for a monochromatic look. I’m having a hard time with people seeing my vision. I don’t have much time to get it right, as insurance is paying for some of it. Thanks for your post on SW Repose Gray.
Samantha
aglassofbovino says
Hi Samantha! Ugh, I’m so jealous of the exterior of your home – I’m sure it’s beautiful! I’m glad you enjoyed this post – good luck with your project! <3
Anne says
We are building a new home and just finished our design meeting with builder and we selected Repose Gray for the walls in main part of house. Hurray!
aglassofbovino says
That’s great news Anne!!! I know it will turn out beautifully 🙂
Tami Palmer says
We are trying to pick out paint for our basement family room which is a pretty large area with a small bar area. I am leaning towards Repose Gray! Would you have any suggestions as far as what color wood floors and cabinets would look good? I am going for a modern look. I was thinking maybe the really light wood floors, but want some opinions! 🙂
aglassofbovino says
Hi Tami! I have light wood floors with repose and love it. However, I’ve seen repose work with both dark and light floors beautifully!! Good luck 🙂
Tiffany says
What trim color did you use?
Also on the repose gray – did you do flat, shine?
Verónica says
Hello,
I tried the Elderly gray which is the lighter tone before the Repose grey and it showed a very purple undertone
which I did not liked at all! Why do you think is that?
Will Repose grey have the same undertone? Thanks!
Jane says
We too have been in search of the perfect gray and LOVE this suggestion of repose gray – but are considering it for the EXTERIOR of our home. Do you have any photos of repose gray as an exterior choice? Our home is a contemporary style and mostly glass with few solid wall areas (approx 75-80% glass aside from one area at the front, plus the roof, soffit/overhang, garage, and exterior doors). Would appreciate your thoughts! Thank you in advance.
aglassofbovino says
Oh that’s amazing! I think I remember reading somewhere that someone used Repose on the exterior and it came out beautifully. I think it might appear lighter outside than it would inside, but I recommend testing it out first just to be sure. Hope that helps!! <3
Ashley says
I’m wanting to repaint my entire hluse and need help with color on my walls . my living room I have a brown leather couch and my decor is farm house . coffee tables are homemade stained wood . what color would you use ?
My kitchen has dark cabinets with a blackish counter top appliances are black I have a nook area with a big open window and have farm house counter top items but only a bread box and and large pale holding my utenail .
Then its my dining room I have a huge fancy dark brown table with 6 chairs and a large open window . the only decor ive got so far is a lords prayer in a hand made large frame . the decor is all mainly farmhouse . the owners panted those three rooms blue but its a little much for the dark brown
Janine Preston says
I LOVE THIS COLOR SO MUCH, but am curious to know which White you used for the trim and for the ceiling colors???? It all looks so crisp and refreshing…also, dod you use gloss or matte, etc…. Thanks so much in advance for your keen eye and decorating expertise!!
Janine
aglassofbovino says
Hey there! We actually bought the house with the ceiling and trim already painted, unfortunately. But my favorite go-to trim color is Chantilly lace and for trim I’d stick with gloss, ceilings stick with matte. It’s the same color as my cabinets and it pairs wonderfully with Repose! Hope that helps 🙂
Patti says
Thank you for all the research and information. I am thinking of grey paint for my bedroom and recreation room.

Alice says
I really liked the photos I’ve seen of this color but it looks horrible in my house.
It looks like cement. I hate it. I tried it in my son’s room and bathroom with a couple swatches painted elsewhere to see if it looked any better…nope it doesn’t.
I need to repaint these rooms as soon as I get a chance.
My sister said it looks dull and sickly and reminds her of a moth lol.
aglassofbovino says
Oh no!! I’m sorry to hear 🙁 do you have a lot of natural light in these rooms?
Janet says
How does repose gray compare to Revere Pewter? Any thoughts.
aglassofbovino says
Hi Janet! I believe Revere Pewter has a more purplish undertone, but I’ve never personally used it so I can’t quite say.
Stephanie says
Revere Pewter has more brown to it. I’ve used it several times 🙂

Paula says
What do you think of the Repose with the light beige trim? Our ceilings, doors, waistcoat and crown moldings are a cream color. Also an accent color of blue/green shade (muted)? Our floors and cabinets ate Expresso with dark black, grey with pearl speckled granite. It’s a large open floor plan but not a ton of natural light.
Bruce Cummings says

My favorite is SW Alpaca. Doesn’t seem to have any green tones, blue or purple. This is a warmer gray though. I’ve used it in dark rooms and light rooms and it looks great.
aglassofbovino says
Ahh yes I’ve heard great things about Alpaca! Maybe I’ll try that one out next! 🙂
osea.moe says
I was suggested this web site by my cousin. I am
not sure whether this post is written by him as no one else know such
detailed about my problem. You are amazing! Thanks!
Kay says
Repose was my first love for a few years. But about a year ago, I met BM Edgecomb Gray…in some light it’s gray, others it’s beige but in most, it’s completely greige. It pleases everyone in the crowd, even the gray and beige haters. Repose is still my second love, but Edgecomb is now my first!!! Appreciate the repose love in your post.
aglassofbovino says
Hi Kay!! Ahhh yes Edgecomb gray is a gray that I’m looking to use in my bedroom soon – I’ve read great things about it. I love the fact that it’s a light greige. Thank you so much for sharing!!
Socorro Compeau says
Some genuinely great info , Glad I discovered this.
aglassofbovino says
thank you!!
Marianna Zimmerman. says
When I saw this blog- I thought for sure (when you said drumroll) lol that you were going to say SW Mindful Gray! This is what I tell people all the time – it’s my ABSOLUTE favorite Gray! I’ve used repose gray before & I also love it but it’s tooooo light for my house, I couldn’t even tell I had much of a color after painting, even with 2 coats! I like it for rooms that are dark & you want to add a lot of light with a hint of color but I can’t say enough about SW mindful gray- Its a TRUE gray & comes on silky smooth & true to its color without the undertones. Your crown molding really pops with MG! Any of the homes I’ve seen it in, look great! Instagram even gave it its own page lol Anyway just wanted to share my thoughts! Love your blog- BTW! 🙂
aglassofbovino says
Hi Marianna!! That’s so funny because I would say that Mindful gray is one of my top gray choices too – it’s the color of my husband’s office! It’s a beautiful gray that I believe is one or two shades lighter than Repose. I’m so glad you enjoyed this post! Have a great week! xox <3
Kim Jollye says
Well the trend of today will be hated eventually. I think we need to go with our hearts and what we love so really don’t care about the trend but I am always interested in nice Gray color. Five years ago, today and probably in the future. Thanks for your information.
aglassofbovino says
I totally agree Kim – gray has been trendy for the last few years but if you really love gray, then you really love gray!!
Kimberly Dugan says
These pictures are beautiful with the repose gray. Do you have any thoughts on SW Collinade gray for a room with northern light and warm medium wood floors? Thanks!
Su Edley says
Your post is very informative and I also digg the way you write!
Shelly Hill says
So relieved to stumble upon your page (scrolling Pinterst–score!) and realize I’m not the only woman going crazy trying to find the right grey. I now have a few dozen swatches all over with no luck. Headed to Sherwin Williams tomorrow for Repose! And thank you SO MUCH for explaining LVR. Sherwin Williams should give you props. Best….
aglassofbovino says
Aw that’s amazing Shelly!!! I hope you love how it turns out!! 🙂

Just painted. the master bedroom in my newest ‘old house ‘ this color today, then saw your post . Spot on. I think this may be my whole upper level. Its lovely. Even my husband who is ‘sick of gray’ likes it!
Jessica says
This was a great find for me on Pinterest!! Been going through hell trying to narrow down the right color – after living a couple years with revere pewter on our walls – it’s too warm in our home and appears a tanish beige ???? which I was not expecting. Finally I’ve narrowed it down – and like this color a lot. I was leaning toward stonington and light French gray but something was saying no and I realized it’s because they’re cool and look blue/purple toned. I like warm grays better but revere pewter has scared me off warm grays. I really think, though, that repose as a warm gray may work bc it’s not as warm as revere pewter is. I HOPE. Lol – I even was thinking screw it and almost wanted to go all white – but that is too plain for me too. I love how repose appears almost as a white in bright lighting and fades to light medium gray in darker – I think this may be exactly what I’m searching for.
Christine says
Hi! The interior of our home is SW repose gray and I’m getting ready to paint the exterior of our home as well. After several different swatches we have decided to go with repose gray on the exterior also! BUT, I need opinions for a trim color to go with?? Thank you in advance!
Michelle White says
Hi, just wondering if anyone has use SW march wind and thoughts about it!
Jas says
Hi there
Thank you for sharing, very helpful
Sherwin Williams needs to see your posts …
I have always been told Benjamin Moore is the way to go, even by my painters…
I am painting 3 bedrooms with lots of light and was going to go Gray Owl, but now I will look at Sherwin Williams Respose grey as u suggested
aglassofbovino says
Thanks Jas!! I love Gray Owl as well. Since writing this post I’ve grown a fondness for Benjamin Moore and Farrow and Ball, but Sherwin Williams is still great!! Good luck with your rooms!!!
Cathy says
Not sure if anyone mentioned but the pictures you showed on Mytexashouse are actually Repose Grey 50% lighter! I actually went with Edgecomb Grey 25% lighter by Benjamin Moore which is beautiful. It has a LVR of 63
aglassofbovino says
Oh I had no idea!!! That’s good to know thank you for clarifying!!! I think I’m going to do an updated post with Edgecomb because its since become one of my favs too!
Lisa says
What color did you use for trim?
Nicole says
I’m embarrassed to say how many samples of paint I have tried on my lower level of my split level house. It’s in the corner and has north and west windows, light is limited. I have agreeable gray and gray owl in my upstairs and they look great. They both look super muddy along with the repose gray in my downstairs. I tried Olympus white and gray screen from SW but they looked powder blue. I then tried seagull gray and silver marlin from Behr and they read just a touch of green but I like them the best so far. It seams whatever the undertone is is heavily exaggerated. Any thoughts? Any grays with several undertones? I’m considering painting white at this point hah!
Lisa Wilson says
After putting up 27 paint samples in my son’s condo I found a winner – Farrow and Ball Cornforth White. It’s a beautiful greige color and has a soft, ethereal quality which is particularly restful.
Kathy says
Hi there, great information. Could you please tell me if you use a semi-gloss or satin
paint for the Repose Grey that you used, or something other? Which do you find
to be best for interior rooms? Particularly, this is for a small bathroom.
Thank you so kindly for your advice.
Kathy
aglassofbovino says
Hi Kathy,
I used eggshell finish, which is my go-to for most walls in my home.
Tina says
Hi! I got lost in the comments a bit, it just to confirm, you used repose gray in eggshell not lightened, correct? Also- what floors do you have? I love the combo!
Cheryl says
I have Repose Gray in my bedroom and it looks too white. I think you have to be very careful about the lighting in which room you want to put this color. The lighting will mean everything in the room you choose. I believe I do not have enough light in my Master bedroom to make this paint color work. I hope it works better for you.
ro89 says
Hey There. I discovered your weblog the usaցe of msn. This is a

Chastity says
Would repose gray look good on kitchen cabinets with dark gray barn wood laminate flooring? If not, any suggestions?
Nancy says
I recently moved to a new house that has brown stained trim. My living room has a brownish fireplace and wood beams. My previous house was grey walls with white trim. My furniture is a charcoal grey. Ive seriously considered painting my brick fireplace and am ok doing it but dont really want to paint the wood trim. I love grey walls but am having a hard time finding the right shade of grey that will go with my charcoal furniture but still the wood trim and beams. I get a lot of natural light in the living room. I dont want something too light and nothing on the blue tones. Can you help me please!
Jill Vitek says
So fun reading all these posts about the best gray color. I am an interior designer and help others with paint colors and am having a hard time choosing for the exterior of my own home. I cant wait to grab my SW samples tomorrow to check out in daylight. Love your website!
LovesHope says
Honestly I’m very disappointed about this grey. Maybe in person it’s stunning and if your house doesn’t receive a lot of light I can understand the choice. However I do not agree that it’s the only grey that is needed. I personally love color on my walls but let’s be honest picking pops of color for wall paint turns out horribly wrong for me every single time. Plus I feel if you get too “creative” it starts to look trashy. So I’m a neutral painter. So my favorite grey is called frappe yes it is grey I promise. This color is a Valspar color. I paint my walls with the signature in satin. Easy to clean and holds up beautifully. Plus I painted 3 years ago and they still look as beautiful as the day I painted them. It is in between a medium grey and very light grey. It pops with the white trim yet puts an obvious color on the wall that tends to flow with every single color including the more brown colors. I’m not trying to undermine your post just want others to view the color I have posted cause it is amazing to me.
aglassofbovino says

Carpet on steps to second floor black with cream, beige, brown scrolls. What color walls would you suggest. Not a big fan of white. Was thinking of creamy beige if there is such a color. HELP
Thanks

Beautiful home, I’m going gray so this is very helpful. What kind of flooring is in the bedroom picture with a fireplace?
Melanie says
Is it possible to get a copy of the post with the foul language because I am in such a damn sh%ting mother f*cking bad mood from trying to find the right gray for my daughter’s room that I would appreciate knowing you were there too. Do you feel Repose Gray will clash with the number of gray hairs I’ve gotten from f*cking up her room 10,000 times? Thank you for this post, I’ll pick up a sample of Repose Gray tomorrow. I am hopeful it won’t become part of my useless a$$ degenerate gray paint collection. You rock!
aglassofbovino says
HAHAHAHA!! This made my day!!! I removed the foul language after some were offended lol! I really f*cking hope Repose Gray will work out for you!!!!
Melanie says
I wonder if they’re painting their dungeon or the stick they have up their ass???? Either way, it’s really nice that you gave a f**k and changed the f**king verbiage.????????????
I’m on my way to pick up my f**king sample now and will f**king keep you posted. F**k yeah!

Denise says
I have 5 fiberglass posts on my porch. I want them to be gray and everything turns purple or baby blue outside. I need help. I have bought so many samples. Thanks so much.
Renee says
Terrific article! My house is on the market and the major complaint from potential buyers is the paint in the common area. The house is a two-story with open vaulted ceiling to the 2nd floor. The wood trim is light beige (not white) thanks to the builder 15 yrs ago. This includes 3 in. wood shutters on 34 windows, baseboards, doors, kitchen cabinets, bathroom vanities, crown molding, and built-in book cases. I don’t want to spend the money to paint all the wood trim white so my question is: Can I put gray paint on the walls with light beige trim? Painting the walls would cost less than having to paint the wood trim, too. The large entry way and throughout the common area is a light color tile floor with a bit of gray in the tile and kitchen countertops are Taj Mahal quartzite. Again light color with gray veins in it.All stainless steel appliances. I’m at my wits end! I would appreciate any/all suggestions and advice on painting! Repose gray sounds so nice but worried about matching it with the trim.
Whitney says
I have very dark hardwood floors, white trim and lots of light. Do you think the grey will look good in there?
Sheila says

Hello! I am trying to decide on my home paint color. We have gray cabinets and Gray tile “wood look” floors. I was wanting to do repose gray to bring in some beige (not a huge fan of straight beige walls) . We do get a lot of natural light in the home but we will usually have the shutters closed and light will not be coming in too much. Do you think repose gray will be too much gray in the home? Would agreeable gray bring in more warmth for the space? Thanks!
Audrey says
Hello – thank you for the information. I very much enjoy your blog and your home.
I am completely at a loss. I have painted my entire main floor that extends upstairs because of the open stairway, landing & loft. I loved the color until the season changed and the light began pouring in to my east-facing room. It IS yellow. Hideous. I have a zillion samples and have painted two walls over and over but nothing works.
My greatest challenge is the trim. Sadly it is not at all white. I cannot paint all the trim. Twenty-four doors, countless windows, miles of trim! So the horrible paint is 50% of the trim color. Monumental failure. I have found countless helpful paint-counter people but I have not found a knowledgable people. Can you tell me how I find a wall color that will look beautiful with the *%$# trim color?
Thank you!
Scott Sacchetti says
Hi, My wife and i are finalizing our living room and love the floor/paint combo in the 6th picture down with the tv over the fireplace. would you be able to tell me the make and color of the flooring? It goes great with the repose gray. Thanks.
Chris says
Hi! I was just checking to see if you got the name and floor color from the author? We are painting our home in repose gray as well. Looking for the right color too.
Tina Redecop says
We had Repose gray in our last house in all the main areas. We had it color matched to Behr paint so maybe thats what the problem was. It was pretty good, just not what I really wanted. This time after testing a lot of colors we went with Modern Gray a sherwin Williams color in sherwin Williams paint. Love it, its what I Wass looking for last time. Warmer. more greige, not so gray. Repose gray was a little cool for me, a little too gray. same with se salt, this time using Silverpointe, beautiful color. and last tome we did white dove cabinets and part of it may have been not enough natural light, but they just looked white to me, I had been expecting them to look a little creamy. But I did really like it for trim and ceilings. thanks!

Thanks for this article and lotss of responses. I’m not sure if you will be able to see/answer my question, but if you do, I’ll greatly appreciate it.
I just bought a raised ranch home and it will be lots of light there – the main living areas – both upstairs and downstairs will have south exposure. My furniture is warm gray and warm white. I also have a grape dining room chairs and there are yellow accents.
I was thinking Repose Gray or possibly Repose Gray upstairs and downstairs as it will be a tid bit darker (still lots of windows) Agreeable Gray as this one is more greige (there will be bedrooms and my Zen room there).
What do you think? Two tones or just one (Repose)?
thank you in advance!
aglassofbovino says
Hi there – I’m not quite sure what you’re asking but I think repose will work upstairs and downstairs. However I think you should switch things up downstairs and try agreeable gray, or another color that you like
Lisa says
I completely agree that this gray is a great color! I was going around and around on which gray to choose to match some gray oak laminate floors, and this one matches perfectly! Like previously stated, it goes with almost anything, isn’t too light or dark, and in my opinion has a great gray-beige balance, with it leaning more towards the gray.
