The best warm gray paint colors from Sherwin Williams that will give you that fresh, modern look without making your room feel cold. In fact, they are some of the best paint colors to choose when planning to sell your home. It’s going to look grayer in cooler light and become a “greige” in warm south facing rooms, but it’s popular for a reason.
Conversely, Revere Pewter has a solid beige undertone and would never be mistaken for a basic gray. My favorite tools and supplies will make the job quicker and easier. Now that you understand what a warm gray paint color is, let’s delve into the 3 that I personally recommend.
It looks amazing with medium to darker hardwood floors and when paired with crisp white trim. and the room on the left that’s cut off, is Repose Gray at half strength In darker spaces (basements and hallways) you may spot a slight green undertone.
These undertones are very minimal and the average joe won’t ever pick up on them unless someone like me points them out to you!
It’s a bit of a funny color in that sometimes it’s a warm gray – in rooms with cooler northern light or lower light spaces, and in south facing rooms the warm sunlights brings out the beige undertone enough that it becomes a greige. It’s a great choice if you’re undecided about a grey or greige as it skirts the line between both.
Along with Repose Gray, it’s one of the best selling Sherwin Williams paint colors. A lovely warm gray that really pops against white trim. I love this color in dark rooms, though, it really lightens and brightens the space and the warmth in it ensure that the gray never feels cold.
No matter which color you end up choosing, please test them out in your home before committing. There’s nothing worse than spending a whole afternoon painting only to realize the color doesn’t work in your home. So many factors play into whether a color with work – the lighting in your room, existing furniture and fixtures and even what’s outside the window!
Narrow your choice down to a couple of paint colors, buy sample pots (or use a service like Samplize) and pay attention to how the color looks against your furniture, on different walls and at different times of the day.
