I think a taupe (gray-brown) shade goes with gray. If I wanted to mix things up I would do a light and dark taupe with light and dark gray. I think those four colors would be really cool together. Also think about tile with purple or blue undertones, if you like that sort of thing.

I don't know if this will work but this is the result of the search with images. Here is a link that might be useful: google

I have hot spring stones in my entry and my family room. i really like it. my house is also a little on the dark side. i had a design consultant from ethan allen in my home and she was raving about the color. i like it b/c it is more of a taupe than an actual tan. i'm not a big fan of tan. hot spring stones has a very slight gray to it. Like Stacey said, in some lights it can have a very slight purple cast to it, but not so much that it is bothersome to me. I'm really really picky and this is the color i settled on after a ton of color research. good luck!

Hi - We just painted our entire first floor in Farrow & Ball "old white", which is a taupe-y grey. In some light, it also has a very slight hint of sagey green, but not so much that you'd think it's a green color. It definitely looks more taupe-y than anything else, and we've gotten lots of "oohs and aaahs" over it, even from the subs. We have dark wood floors and white trim and baseboards (which is done in F&B "Pointing" as are our ceilings). In the office and master bedroom, we used F&B "light grey", which is also a wonderful color but definitely darker and may not feel light enough for the main areas in your home, depending on what your natural light is like (and obviously, depending on your taste for dark vs. light). Farrow & Ball has such wonderful big hand-painted swatch cards, and I would highly recommend purchasing them...they're a hefty $50, but definitely worth it and WAY better than the little brochure they'll send you for free, which has tiny little bits of color that give you just enough of a feel to want to see more! If you're interested, I can take photos of these rooms, but we're moving in on Friday (after an 8-month whole house renovation), and we're in the throes of last-minute chaos with electricians hanging fixtures, painters doing touch-ups and punch list stuff. Our contractor put rosin paper down on the floors so they won't get messed up, and so the tone of the red rosin paper may influence what you'll see as the color of the walls. Here's a tip for you - if you go to Google and press the tab for "Images" and type in the name of the paint that you're considering using, you'll probably see photos of rooms from magazines that used that color. It's very helpful. When we were considering using F&B's "Middleton Pink" for my teenage daughter's room, we were worried that it would be too little girl-ish, but when she saw the image of several rooms painted in Middleton Pink, she liked it and so we went with it (unfortunately, later on, after it was on the walls, I made the mistake of mentioning that it wasn't a very sophisticated color. DUH! WRONG thing to say to a teenager). Anyway, Google Images was very helpful! Good luck with your search. I went through the identical struggle on the neutral grey taupe about six months ago so I know how difficult it can be! Susan
