My Favorite Gray Paint Colors

in DIY & Home Decor on 01/09/19

One of the most common questions I get from my followers, friends, and family is what paint color would I recommend for their interior walls. Gray walls are ALL the rage lately and I am definitely loving that trend. David and I are Sherwin Williams people. We love the quality of their paint, the customer service, the sales they have, and the convenience of their locations to us. So below I have compiled a list of my favorite gray wall colors at Sherwin Williams.

My favorite gray paint colors from Sherwin Williams.  Nuetral paint colors for your interior walls. Zircon, Knitting Needles, Repose Gray and Mindful Gray #graywallcolor #wallcolor #graypaint #sherwinwilliams
Zircon (SW 7667)

Zircon is probably my favorite gray color from Sherwin Williams. This gray color has a cooler side to it. I don’t recommend this color for houses with trim/woodwork that has an orange or yellow based stain. This color is best for houses with white trim/woodwork like mine. I used this color in my powder room and upstairs bathroom.

Knitting Needles (SW 7672)

I used this gray color in our master bedroom. I don’t have any pictures of our master bedroom yet so below is an image of Julie Blanner’s beautiful bathroom using Knitting Needles. This color is a little darker gray than Zircon, but along the same cooler shade.

Repose Gray (SW 7015)

Repose Gray is a warmer gray and would look great with homes trimmed in the yellow or orange based stains, but also looks fabulous with homes trimmed in white:) Plus this paint color is all over Pinterest so you know it’s a good one!

Mindful Gray (SW 7016)

Mindful gray is one shade darker than Repose Gray. So if you are the type of person that is scared of light colored walls, try this color! Mindful Gray is another great gray color for a home trimmed in yellow or orange based stains.

These are my go-to gray colors and all of them are beautiful, neutral and modern. I hope this helps you plan for your next painting projects 🙂

        Need suggestions. We are working on our new home. Our kitchen cabinets are passive and island cabinets are peppercorn. Could you please suggest what color to select for walls.

          I love those colors! I would maybe suggest Gray Matters or Nebulous white. I would test out a few colors on the wall next to each of your selected colors and see what you like. Good luck!

            Thanks for suggesting Gray Matters and Nebulous White. We will give them a try. Based on the color book Gray Matters looks little dark and Nebulous White is light. Could you please also suggest a color in between. Appreciate your help.

            Argos is a little lighter than Gray Matters but on the same shade scale. Have fun 🙂

            We tried the samples and Argos looks much better. Thank you for narrowing us down. Thank you very much. Appreciate your help.

    My walls are site white and am looking for a light to medium gray for my cabinet color. Trim is extra white. Need recommendation. My granite is steel gray. I know dark granite is not the trend, but my husband somehow does not see droplets of red wine that he leaves on the counter. I’m tired of worrying and fussing about it…..ergo the dark countertops.
    I really need your help. My builder is waiting on an answer and I just found your site. My house was damaged heavily in hurricane Michal in 2018 and we are just now finishing the rebuild. I can’t even think anymore? Thank you for your help!
