As an Interior Designer, I receive many requests for gray paint color suggestions. Gray is a popular paint color for interiors as it allows for furnishings and artwork take center stage. Whether you lean towards light or dark shades, gray is a great neutral foundation for a room. Gray paint colors are versatile can evoke different moods depending on the density of the color and the hue.

I hope you have found this list of 50 Shades of Gray Paint colors helpful! Before you start painting, I always recommend viewing the color in your own natural light and sampling first. When viewing paint color samples, it’s best to view the color at a vertical angle, as you would look at it on your wall.
