As I was selecting colors for a client the other day I realized that I was having my own version of Fifty Shades of Grey. A little more of a literal interpretation.
While I haven’t read these books, it seems that everyone I know is either reading them or at least talking about them. When I think of Fifty Shades of Grey, I think of paint. My mind is racing with colors and combinations all day long.
So why not share some of my favorite grey paints? This might not quite be 50 - I narrowed them down just a bit.
Farrow & Ball- Down Pipe - 26
Farrow & Ball - Pavillon Gray 242
Fine Paints of Europe- Silhouette Gray
Benjamin Moore- Grey Tint - 1611
Benjamin Moore- Stone Harbor- 2111-50
Benjamin Moore- Bear Creek- 1470

For me (and I bet, a bunch of others) gray is the most difficult shade to get just right. Thanks for narrowing down the options. Mary
As you know, my fave is Dorrian Grey!
I'll bet you get tons of hits today with that post title! Genius.
Used Farrow & Ball's "Skimming Stone" recently - when the sun hits it, it's a gorgeous barely-grey that warms up the whole room. Love your round-up!

I would add to that my current favorite F&B Elephant's Breath (maybe it is because of the name, but I used it in my kitchen/family room and I love it).

I love your blog.....without a lot of gibberish it ever so inspiring. Grey can be difficult.
Do you differentiate warm & cool greys? How? Obviously I have made mistake recently.

I Love Grey. I have used many different shades over the years. Some of my favorites are Benjamin Moore Owl Gray and Pale Oak. It's counter intuitive, but grey is a very lively color. It changes color with the light, and the time of day.
Grays are my new fav color. Genius!
Greyt post Grant !

How nice it is to read a literal interpretation of 50 Shades of Grey... I don't mean to hate on the books, (they have their place!), but this is a lovely and useful post.
