Best Greige and Warm Gray Paint Colors

Greige (gray with a beige, warm undertone) is the safest whole-house neutral: it reads gray in bright light and soft beige in dim rooms. The most versatile ones sit at an LRV of about 50 to 70. Good places to start: Revere Pewter (Benjamin Moore), Edgecomb Gray (Benjamin Moore), Pale Oak (Benjamin Moore).
