Benjamin Moore Most Popular Grays
Most Popular BM Grays: EDGECOMB GRAY
Dying to try this one myself!
Isn’t it amazing with the warmth of antiqued brass hardware?
Is it putty, is it stone, is it linen-toned?
However you characterize Edgecomb Gray, it’s lovely.
Just perfect if you’re seeking a single color for all of your interiors when you cannot decide but want a subtle easy to live with grey that will contrast softly with white trim.
Benjamin Moore SILVER SATIN
No, madame, all greys are not the same.
They vary with regard to undertones, temperature, and LRV (light rfeflectance value).
Looking for an understated neutral that feels comforting and not cold?
Whether you’re going for a modern look or Old World, these popular gray paint colors offer potential.
Do be sure to sample sample sample!
Because in your unique lighting situation, these colors will be perceived differently.
REVERE PEWTER
Here’s a soft grey with which I’m quite familiar since I painted our bedroom furniture with the tone.
It was just right to contrast with crisp white bedding and bronze hardware.
Considering it for cabinetry?
So lovely in this pantry above and below.
I love how it was used as a color drench in this space.
Benjamin Moore GRAY OWL
All of these subtle grey swatches begin to look the same when viewed on your computer screen or even at the paint counter…
But trust! When you order samples and view them side by side in your space, you’ll notice undertones and how they vary.
The green undertones in Gray Owl, for example, will be more apparent when viewed side by side with other gray colors which may be cooler or with more blue undertones.
STONINGTON GRAY
Benjamin Moore Stonington Gray is a beautiful option I have used in several rooms with great success.
It helps to see it in various contexts in photos since you soon realize how light in a space will wash it out.
Make sure to view paint samples throughout the day as the light changes!
It may be a winner for kitchens and baths with carrera marble since the color in the veining is similar.
Benjamin Moore WICKHAM GRAY
What makes a particular grey a popular choice for designers and homeowners?
Certain gray colors are chamelon-like, meaning they can work across a variety of different interiors.
The most versatile neutrals are not too cool, not too warm, and enjoy that sweet spot in the middle.
WISH
You can see brown undertones in Wish, a warm beige-y gray that provides nice contrast with a number of colors for trim.
Isn’t it lovely with the black window trim and white baseboards?
Benjamin Moore GRAY CLOUD
Finally, Gray Cloud is a popular grey I have wanted to sample!
I’m crazy about those pale blues that are actually found on the grey paint swatch cards like Cloud Gray.
Isn’t the subtle blue gorgeous? While I’m unsure of the exact neutral used in this Jenni Kayne room below, it is reminiscent of Gray Cloud:

Peace to you right where you are.
