Why,are you fixated on a gray? There are literally thousands of other colors available ...

Well, you’ve tried four so far & none seemed to work. Maybe it’s just not a good fit, like a friend of mine who tries to squeeze her size 12 body into size 6 & 8 clothes :).

I'm working in a room that has difficult lighting so I'm trying to be careful to choose the right shade because a lot of grays and look a little purple in some lighting. No matter what color I go with, I'd still have to try several shades in order to find the right one for that room. That's how it works in every room no matter what color you are working with, that's why they make paint samples.

It is impossible for us to tell you waht color works in your space , natural light, artificial light your furniture , flooring all have an effect on the paint color.

I'm just asking for a list of light grays or greiges that don't have purple undertones.

I had a similar situation with a small bedroom that gets very little natural light and decided on repose grey. I was worried it would be too dark still but I'm very happy with it. For me it doesn't show purple. But I'm no expert...

Check your light bulbs. The new ones have Kelvins and it should be at 5000 anything less for artificial lighting will make the gray color look purple.

Vicki's Color Consulting, thanks for the advice! I had no idea! I'll look into that!

That's because you keep choosing grays from the same hue family neighborhood. We know that by looking at the color data values a.k.a. color DNA for each color.

But it's good information because now you know near neutral grays from this hue family neighborhood don't work in your space.

You need to try near neutral grays from a different hue family neighborhood.

Put the chips you have in order just like I have in the table above. I'm guessing Repose Gray looks the least purple. It probably looks more plum-brown than lavender like the other ones.

Grab a chip of Light French Gray SW 0055 and see what happens.

The pictures I added this morning are a new set of samples that have more of a green base. I actually don't think any of them look purple except for the one on the right called worldly gray..it's looking a little too taupe for me. Hopefully that will hold true tonight when I get home and see them lol So far SW Useful Gray and SW Sedate Gray seem to be my favorites of this group.

That's perfect - they're in the same hue family neighborhood as Light French Gray. You're definitely moving hue families, more toward the middle of the yellow hue family where colors won't shift purple.

When looking at paint colors you can’t have them next to each other or next to the painted wall you have...you need white boards...also remember when your walls are a warm color.....any sample you put next to them especially gray..will look blue or lavender...I have changed out all my lighting to GE “Daylight” LED Bulbs..love them..makes a big difference...here is my house this morning with no lights on...it is the back of the house facing west..

Pale oak is very nice too.

Most of my house is SW alpaca. It doesn't go purple in here, but each room is slightly different and it is different at different times of the day. It is a good greige.

Honestly I ditched any sort of gray or grayed lavender in my lower light rooms and went with a beautiful coral - BM 2170-60 Sunlit Coral. It’s muted and complex enough to not be sherbet colored, but warm and inviting and goes beautifully with my other rooms.

There are so many beautiful home colors that aren’t gray, especially for north facing rooms.

Passive is a very pretty color but can go a bit blue...
