i have to say again (yes, i'm repeating myself for the zillion-th time!) color reads DIFFERENTLY depending on a number of factors ...and honestly, i haven't figured out what exactly those are. we are building a new home in the rear yard of our current home. so we're living in the old house which gets a lot of natural light. i tried out a number of colors on the walls of the temporary house and thought i'd selected ben moore's ELMIRA WHITE as my Perfect Gray. so i take my trusty paint brush out back to the new place -which is FLOODED with even more natural light- and proceed to paint a 3' square of elmira white in my new kitchen. and it looks totally TAN! i decided to leave and come back later after it has a chance to dry. when i return i am floored. the gorgeous and perfect elmira white is now BLAH BEIGE. i tried it in four other rooms and same thing. meanwhile i had tested ben moore's ATHENA in the old house and determined it was colder than an arctic blizzard. just TOO cold, so i forget about it. i return to the paint store and buy over $100 worth of sample grays and each of them ends up so warm in the new house that they too, are boringly beige. i'm sitting here at my wits end trying to figure out what's going on. and then i spot the giant 4' swatch of way-too-cold athena and it hits me. everything i was trying was warming up so, i got out the athena sample and headed over. i found a clean wall and started painting. and low and behold, the overly cool athena in one house was The Perfect Beautiful Gray in the new. it was the first gray sample i purchased. i could have saved myself a lot of time (and even more money) by just testing it out IN THE SPACE. so i won't waste your time picking grays i think are wonderful ...because, A: color is subjective and B: it always morphs itself into something else depending on where it's living. so good luck, have fun and no, it won't be easy choosing!

I need some suggestions for a gray paint for the walls. It's a long narrow master bathroom (just under 5' wide by 17' long). There will be 4"x16" white subway tile on the walls with Mapei Pearl Gray grout. The floor tile will be Happy Floors Kaleido 12"x24" tile, stacked, in color Cenere. This tile will continue from the floor through the curbless shower and up the back shower wall. The floor tile grout will be Mapei Timberwolf. The floating vanity will be white oak and all of the faucets/fixtures will be matte black, including a matte black towel warmer. There's really not much wall that won't be tiled in the bathroom itself but for the time being, there will be no door to the adjoining master closet, so I figure I'll paint the closet walls the same as the bathroom walls. It's still very much under construction so there's no worthwhile pictures to share but the closet shelving is being installed Friday, so I have to have the closet walls painted first. Thanks!

Looking for light gray paint suggestions to go with these finishes. Thanks! Granite is Santa Cecilia light.
