50 Shades of Gray Paint Colors

50 Shades of Gray Paint Colors

Gray is a popular neutral paint color for interiors. Whether you lean towards light or dark shades, gray is a great neutral to compliment a room. Gray is a versatile color that could make a room evoke different moods depending on the density of the color and the hue.

Since the release of the movie "50 Shades of Grey", I thought I would share my favorite 50 Shades of Gray paint colors broken down by light, medium, dark, warm and cool colors.

The New Neutrals for 2014

This Spring , we will be seeing more pastels according to Pantone and Benjamin Moore, In interiors, we will be seeing less gray, and more cool blues, lavenders, pinks, and soft greens. It is a great way to add color to your walls without being in your face. A pastel color pallet will still highlight your artwork and additional pieces in your home while making your room feel happy and bright.

When I say pastels, they are not your typical "Easter Egg" colors. Pantone and Benjamin Moore have both introduced a new twist to pastels. Benjamin Moore says its the "new neutrals".

Aside from pastels, I am seeing a huge color trend in fashion, design, and graphics. Other colors that I am sure will make an entrance this year will be rich russet tones, paprika, coral, saffron, cobalt blue, peacock blue, and eggplant. Mixing one of these colors with a pastel could be absolutely stunning in your home or even an outfit! Be adventurous this year and experience with color!
