When it comes to finding the perfect shade of gray… the STRUGGLE IS REAL! The first decision in both of our homes was picking paint colors. We both knew we wanted a light shade of gray and finding that perfect gray was an overwhelming task because there are so many options to choose from. <— please tell us we’re not alone in feeling this way?

All of our favorite brands of paint offered lots of different shades of gray, and figuring out which shades we loved from each brand in order to narrow down our search seemed downright impossible. That’s when we turned to our readers and asked them, “what gray paint do you absolutely LOVE in your home?!”.

The response was overwhelming and quite honestly, SO helpful. Hearing the names of some of these reader-tested, reader-approved grays has really helped us identify which ones we should take a closer look at. From there, we were then able to advance our search by narrowing this collection down even more and bringing home samples of those remaining colors to test out in the given space. Eventually, those samples led us to our answers, but looking back we realized that the list of grays we collected from you guys continues to be our best place to start in this process.

That’s when we figured that others could be struggling with the same exact process. Why not make this reader-tested-reader-approved list of gray paints available for EVERYONE to use when starting their search?

And that’s what today’s post is all about. You may not need this list today, or not even this year, but hopefully, you can bookmark it (or pin it) so that when the day comes to choose the perfect shade of gray, you’ll have a resource to help make this overwhelming task a bit more attainable.
