Re-decorating to Gray Bedroom - paint suggestions?

Sunshi500

We are redecorating our bedroom as we recently upgraded to a king size bed.  In a pinch, I was able to find the gray comforter below that we like.  Any suggestions for paint colors to match?  We have a relatively small room, maybe 13x10.  Would a dark gray similar to the coverlet be too dark for a smaller room to paint on one wall?  Eventually I wanted a purple/gray theme - would a paint with purple undertones clash with this?  I tend to not like the blues.   Haven't had too much experience with redecorating so any suggestions you might have would be great

I just used Behr Silver Drop in a room.  It's really light, though.  Actually it's the exact same gray color as the sheetrock was before I primed it.  Guess all the time working in there before it was painted really made an impression.

maybe a very very light pale pink? I'm sure if you add a paint that has a hint of color it will look nice if you add decorative pillows that incorporate the color. Grey is easy to work with.

If you are looking for a purple and grey bedroom, go with a nice purple tone.  You could even go with a kind of deep purple/grey color and have little accents with a light purple to go with.  I haven't done it before, but I have heard that if you have a small space, sometimes if you go dark, it will help make the room a little more dramatic.  I have a grey/purple comforter with light purple/blue pillows, the walls are grey, bed frame is a dark wood color.  I love it and have put up a large mirror to help kind of expand the look of the wall.  Good luck, go to the store and grab a bunch of samples and see what speaks to you.  Its fun to paint, its amazing how much it livins up your place.

This would look good. It looks alot like the sample picture.
