Kini on Jan 12, 2016This is a custom grey color I created. It is 72 drops of black per 1 gal of white paint. This way there are no undertones.Helpful Reply

The Garden Frog with C Renee on Jan 12, 2016The best way I have found is to go and pick up 5 or 6 samples in each gray you find and take them home and tape them to walls in the room you are going to paint and watch as the sun reflects what the color will be. in the store the fluorescent lighting is awful for figuring out color tones. Or buy a couple samples of paint for around $3 and paint a patch on each wall about 2 ft x 2ft to get a better idea. This will also give you an idea of how it will look with your trim too. Lighting can change the color. good luckHelpful Reply

Katy Ballagh on Jan 12, 2016I just love Shermin Williams Mindful Gray. I just painted my entire downstairs this color. It looks different in every room. It also looks good with oak. I don't see the green or blue undertones in this paint and believe me I had a ton of samples and sections of different colors on my walls.Helpful Reply

Jjm2972935 on Jan 13, 2016We built a new house this fall and I picked a great gray color for my boys bedroom. Then we painted and it's the most perfect gray, I loved it so much I painted my whole open floor plan walls the same. It's called Collonade gray from Sherwin Williams.Helpful Reply

Carole Bisby on Jan 13, 2016Try Sherman Williams paint, I had their decorator come out will all the color swatches of gray and she told me with my carpet what color would look the best, I had 3 to choose from it cost's $100 and you get a $50 dollar coupon toward your paint, so it really was only 50 and believe me they give you an hour and will help with other rooms also on that visit. It was the best investment as I have screwed up a lot on paint colors and cost me a lot morein the long run. Good Luck!!!Helpful Reply
