I like it too!

I do like the French Gray. Prefer it over the cool or cold gray. A delightful neutral that provides a subtle, natural background for most colors. It's cooler than a tan or beige, and warmer than the cool grays. A better choice as a whole-house neutral for warm and hot climates. Nice find, Mark!

I had it in my condo with accents of Texas Leather (2 shades darker). Loved it.

Loooove grey! I recently used Chelsea Grey from Benjamin Moore and it seems to change constantly with the light. So it's never boring!!

The recent AT obsession over grey walls is a bit lost on me, I'm afraid.

Mmmm. Don't like that colour. Looks like dirty bathwater to me!

Love the color!

I'm in the process of painting my bedroom walls in Ralph Lauren's Architectural Cream. In my room it looks like a khaki gray, lighter than the one above. I love it. It feels warm and cozy and dreamy.

I have it in mu living room for 5 years and it is coming close to end. It a nice color if you have light color or bright colors but if you furniture is neutral (ours), it starts to look to dark and even close to bland.

Liking it and considering it for my (mainly yellow) kitchen.

Farrow & Ball's Light Gray is a very similar warm gray, almost a greige.

Certainly a better choice for folks who are color-phobic than beige or off-white!

In the mid 90s, at a local holiday open house I was struck by the host's rich medium gray walls in the main living area. Filed it away, and reproduced it in our home's hallways several years ago...it makes for a very smooth transition room to room.

lilcafe, I was going to say the same thing. I look at that picture and feel forlorn and sad. Part of it is the underwhelming decor and the empty wall, but the color just sucks the life out of the room.

I recently painted with Benjamin Moore Feather Gray, and it's gorgeous. Depending on the light, it can look sort of blue or silver, and it's just such a soft shade, like a bird's wing.

I went to my local Ben Moore today and saw a paint chip for this... waaaaay different than I had imagined -- much more taupe-y than gray, to my eye. So now I'm looking at something more along the lines of their pale smoke, or silvery moon, or sidewalk gray, or ... ?

Like the color of the wall but do not like fake swan chair!

Coastal Fog is a color offers a wonderful chameleon-like background for other colors. I had it with a white sofa and chair and smaller accents of bright, light green -- also had deep brown. It also looks fabulous with red and with black -- probably with bright yellow (although I did not try it at the time).

I love gray and found BM Stonington Gray here on Apartment Therapy. Everyone said it was the most neutral gray and did not take on purple, green or blue the way some grays do. Oh, how right they were. My partner and I recently renovated our townhouse and used it everywhere. I kept thinking it would have to be lightened in certain rooms, but full strength worked great! I can't recommend it enough. Thanks, AT!

yup, even a year later, I still think it looks like dirty dishwater...

If I hadn't read it was a BM Grey, I would have thought, "wow. beige. agains." It's a fine color.

I think grey is a hard color, too warm and it's beige, too cold and it's blue or purple. But I do love grey as a new(er) neutral.

Tabernacle Taupe is my favorite grey and it's not Benjamin Moore.

Costal Fog is the sh*t. It's a greige, more than straight grey -- it's somewhere between grey and taupe.

I was actually thinking about how popular grey is right now for interiors, and came up with the theory that it is because mid-century modern design is hot right now (as well as MCM houses, some of which are just now coming onto the market for the first time ever.) The best contemporary answer to incorporating some of the bright and bold MCM colors (like bathrooms, kitchens, and vintage upholstery) is often a grey. People seem more inclined to refurbish than gut renovate, if for no other reason than the tight economy, and the neutrality of grey allows for the blending of otherwise disparate colors and objects.

It's just a theory, but I'm sticking by it...

While I think gray works in small rooms, I'm still not loving the gray overall.

I like the cool greys better -- I copied Benjamin Moore Cement Grey from another user b/c I liked how it looked in photos of their home:

I really want to paint my living and dining room gray in my new house. my town has a lowes, a home depot, and a sherwin williams--no benjamin moore and certainly no place that sells farrow and ball.

I know that I could get any paint tinted in one of their colors, but I can't get swatches/samples and I don't think I should rely on the colors on the computer screen.

can anyone recommend a gray that might work that I could see swatches/samples of in town? (and yes, I know I could order paint samples from benjamin moore or farrow and ball, but that could get rather expensive)

the rooms face east and I really want something light. when I look at the chips I lean towards the bluish grays. in the living room the art is more modern with reds and bold colors (prints from rothko, calder, and original canvases from artist friends) and in the dining room it is more traditional and with blues and more subtle colors (john singer sargent and jen corace. gray is one of the few colors that I think would work in both rooms and since they are so connected I want to use the same color for both rooms.

benjamin moore sells their paint online and it's cheaper than in stores. You can also get the paint chips or samples online.
