Grey wall color recommendations

[G-ZUS]

Has anyone repainted their walls recently? Any designers on here? I'm looking for a really light gray paint for my walls, with no blue, beige, purple or green undertones. Just straight grey

From my experience and googling, you can't make a gray without having those undertones you listed. The undertones are blue, green, purple or pink. It's just finding a compromise that you're okay with. It also depends how much natural light your room gets as well as what color temperature your lights are.

Your floor and furniture will greatly affect how your walls look too.

I repainted my house in what I thought was a "light gray" based on samples in the paint store. Everyone who's been in my house thinks it's white. Don't go too light.

i tried to pick a blue grey for our master bedroom. just looks light blue on the walls in the natural light. IMO go to a medium gray

Buy a small can of paint and actually paint a portion of the wall. Really the only way to ensure you get the colour correct.

Have bought 7 colors, none look the same on the wall as they do on the little sample paper they give you

We went with a very light grey. It is called Grey Owl by Benjamin Moore and then we actually had it lightened. We painted sections of the wall to try out some colors.

It is a very light grey and then we painted the trim a standard white. Turned out really nice and was not too beige.

That's a good call. If you are going light grey, you probably want pure bright white trim.

We redid some areas of our house last year and searched for quite a while to find a light grey that had minimal undertones/neutral color/whatever. Have gotten a couple unsolicited comments on it being a "good shade" of grey. It's a valspar paint, I'll try and round up a can tonight to see what it's actually called.

We've got a medium/light grey walls, not much undertones, when I get home I'll take a pic and see what the colour is (from Benjamin Moore)

I recently painted the whole house with Winters Gate by C2 from Walls Alive. Really happy with how it turned out.
I think I have some extra paint so if you want to sample it I can give you some.

My color is called neutral wheat. Have had it for years now and love it

That looks more like a greige

Exactly this. All greys will have an undertone.

I just did 6 different grey samples for a customer and they all kept turning purple and brown. Every wall will also show different when your doing greys.

Our current house and the one we just sold are both done in cloverdale "touch of grey" and we love it. Opens up the house but it does have a slight blue undertone. I've had customers come look at it and they've loved it and used it in their own homes.

I went with what i thought was a solid grey but once the natural light hits it it has some purple to it. I think your best bet its to go into a full on paint store like BM or Cloverdale and get several sample cans and throw it on the walls.
