If you haven't already searched Houzz photos, there are several beautiful homes shown with SW intellectual gray. Go to Photos and put intellectual gray in search box. It will offer you the choice of "intellectual gray in exteriors in photos". I looked at it as a choice for our house but went with something a little greener which looked better with the other permanent elements on our house. Good luck!

That is a good point. I didn't mention décor details, because the house will be sold this year, and I am trying to go for a neutral look that would appeal to many buyers. Of course I want to like it too, while still living here. I love gray, which happens to be a popular choice, so I am happy playing with shades of gray. But I would welcome any suggestions for other colors that harmonize with gray on adjacent walls. Here are some pieces of furniture that I have: Dining room table - Flatiron from RH (still looking for chairs, I want mismatched chairs to go with it, some weathered wood, some painted): Breakfast nook: white pedestal tableChairs are like these, but bluish/green - no longer sold at PB, so can't find photo: Red cabinet in living room: Family room: Finish on the console is espresso elm: RH English roll arm sofa, color is charcoal: Sold the old coffee table, haven't chosen a new one yet. There is also white built-in shelving in the family room, and a red-white-gray brick fireplace, similar this one: The floors are your standard 90s yellow finish oak, I plan to refinish them to weathered oak or a driftwood-like finish (so that all orange/yellow is gone). Carpet is this (color is "Platinum Mist" - gray): I hope this helps. Thank you again for your time and advice.

I have a post and beam renovation getting ready for paint... in my open concept kitchen/dining/living I have Chantilly Lace on the ceiling, walls and trim in different finishes. I am using Classic Gray down the hall and in the bedrooms. The ceiling throughout is tongue and groove with support beams running through. I need a slightly darker version of Classic Gray that can be used consistently on the ceiling beams, to provide contrast. It needs to be dark enough to contrast from the Classic Gray on the bedroom walls, but not so dark that it overwhelms the open concept area. The color tone of Classic Grey is perfect, but I think I need more depth. Advice?

Did you ever paint your kitchen cabinets classic gray? Will you send a picture! ?? Thanks!!! :-)
