Grey paint

chicagobride_07

I am looking for a medium to light silver grey color to paint the walls of our guest bedroom.  Don't want anything too dark, but not so light it doesn't show up either.  I looked at some paint swatches at Home Depot and am a little overwhelmed.

Does anyone have suggestions meeting the criteria above?

Grab a few samples and paint them up in room so you can see them in the correct light. I recently purchased a "light" yellow for my son's playroom-- in the light of the window it looks neon.

I'm planning on using Sherwin Williams Gray Clouds in my family room and kitchen. It's a beautiful light gray color that doesn't have too much blue in it, which is perfect for the look I am going for.  Grab a swatch and hang it on your wall so you can see what it looks like with the lighting in the bedroom.

I ended up with 7 different paint samples on the walls of my living room. I tried them on different walls that have different lighting depending on the time of the day.

I ended up going with Valspar Polar Star from Lowes. On my walls, it had just enough color to show when it was really bright in the room and light enough to not darken the room. Also, just enough silvery blue so that the grey didn't seem too gloomy in the winter time and but not too much blue so my living room felt like a bathroom.

Good luck!

I used Behr Silver Drop 290C-2 in my friend's office.  It's grey without looking lavender...  actually it's the exact same color as the drywall was before I primed and painted. 

If I ever need a grey for my house, I think I'll go one shade darker on the paint chip and use Dolphin Fin.

I like Moonshine by Benjamin Moore and used it in my living room.
