Gray is no longer the drab and dreary gray we grew to hate in the past. Gone are the stale, somber colors of battleship and prison gray, replaced by shades of gray that are timeless and sophisticated. Gray can be warm or cool, and it pairs well with almost any color you can choose for an accent. Lately, we've seen lots of examples of gray with orange, yellow, bright blue and even a fuchsia or pale pink. Gray works just about anywhere, in any room, and is the ultimate neutral tone for any color scheme.

I've painted my kitchen gray this week - three walls done, finishing it up this weekend. The room had sunshine yellow walls competing against a 90's teal countertop and white/teal ceramic tile floor. The gray already tones everything down a notch and complements more accent colors.
Especially with gray, buy sample sizes before you commit to gallons. I sampled the Behr Dolphin Fin but it turned out too dark for the space. Behr Silver Drop was warm and inviting, with enough contrast against the white doors, floor, trim and cabinets.
Love grey as it is such a versatile colour. I would like to share a blog post I have written a while ago: http://www.bdcolourdesign.net.au/the-colour-grey-depressing-or-versatile/
Kitchen number four is so beautifully done. Grey is such a versatile color to design monochromatic or use pops of color.
