I did, thanks!! Janell

bettysgirl says:

I suppose asking for brand name and color codes would be stepping over the line. I have been searching for the 'right' grey. I have grey squares on my living room walls while I try to find the right grey. Any ideas would be appreciated. Grey's a tough cookie.

Patricia says:

My thoughts exactly bettysgirl, anybody have grey/gray favorites?

Becky Harris says:

I love this combination, and I never would have thought of it on my own. Thanks!

bettysgirl says:

Thanks isabella. Gray is going to be my friend yet!!

sabina says:

FANTASTIC!

Rene says:

Janell, I love this combination. Taking cues from nature always seems to work and gray with green reminds me of summer days just before a storm where trees and dark clouds come together. Love that!

sailorgirl says:

The photo of the green chair in the living room is so appealing to me. It's very soothing and I think that's interesting because normally I wouldn't think of that green as soothing. It just speaks to me. And frankly, I'm so into gray right now that I don't think it can do any wrong!

Jennifer Notar says:

sw0023 sherwin williams is the most stellar! gray, it is easy on the eyes, warm, very rich, and sooo neutral and yet in the same token it makes a non neutral bold statement! Check it out... ps, the cashmere paint at sherwin williams is known for it's ease of application and is touch up capable. It is extremely covering. It is scrubbable and kick resistant.

Jennifer Notar says:

Additionally, sw 0049 is 4 shades the lighter version, and just as stellar! Sherwin Williams

Helen Walton says:

My favorite grey of the moment is Ben Moore "Abalone" 2108-60

Libby Wilkie at aneyefordetail says:

My favorite gray, at the moment, is BM "Pale Oak". I have swatches all over my living room in our new house and am about to start painting! Great with some "Iron Mountain" accents.

Jan Yatsko says:

We're in the last couple of weeks of finishing our house in Costa Rica. The house consists of a main building with two smaller buildings connected by a hallway on either side. The exterior color combo is a taupe gray with lime green painted in the indented hallway areas and chili red accents for the doors and metal tubes that sup-port the front and back roof overhangs. It is a totally different combo among the tropical pastels often found here. The taupe and lime green combo will also be seen in the interior. I'll send photos when all is finished.

Those are my colors! Love it!

jvmccoll says:

I was searching for the perfect grey for my bathroom that has a white marble tile floor with light salmon and grey colour marble tile and a darker grey and salmon granite counter with burnt orange cabinetry. After 3 sample pots, I found "Pure White" from Benjamin Moore - it's actually a very light pearly grey. It has very little yellow and no red in it.

Mel Mac says:

You have found some great gray and green combos.
This is my current favourite combination; I've used it quite a bit in my own home.

Cheri says:

This was perfect timing! I'm considering a green door (and maybe shutters) for our (light) gray sided house. Anyone have more pictures of exteriors?

Cheri says:

.....OR suggestions of green paint colors that go with gray?

manosymama says:

OMG! My kitchen renovation is just about complete and I am doing a gray-green combination but can't quite get the green right. Thanks for the great photos. I think I'm going to do a yellowy-green like the one you have above with that great chair next to the lillies. Your post gave me validation! Will post photo when I get the wall painted.

Janell Beals - House of Fifty Mag says:

Well aren't I happy!! Would love to see photos when you are done with the kitchen project. As for a green paint color suggestion, I actually find greens a very hard color to pick and would suggest getting a fan deck to look at the whole range of greens by various paint companies, holding up the cards next to the exterior of your house. Pick two or three favorites and test on the shutters and door. Paint always looks at least slightly different once painted and dry...so trail and error is really often the only method to find just the right color.

storklady says:

I did the opposite of gray with green. I did green with gray in my kitchen. My current house has zero architectural charm or interest. I recently moved from a 1930s historic cottage in New Orleans to a 1980 subdivision house that completely lacks any architectural interest and has little natural light. I decided the only thing to do was to ramp up the happy factor with color. Of course, it doesn't hurt I love color due to 49 years living in New Orleans and the influence of its Caribbean roots. My kitchen is very quirky but it's "me" and I love working in it every day. When I took the photos i still needed glass in one of the cabinets...but you get the idea. The countertop is soapstone laminate and the large tile floor has subtle gray veining.

Janell Beals - House of Fifty Mag says:

LOVE your art wall in the kitchen, unconventional and full of character! Janell

ambreyno says:

Thanks to all for the recommendations on colors. I am considering painting our guest room and this gives me a great place to start looking!

Wurry Tri Wulandari says:

I really LOVE this color! Recently I fall in love with Grey color, and definitely consider this to apply to my studio, thank you so much for this lovely post Isabella....

Mike says:

Funny, one of the options on your personal Houzz page is to change the background color to gray. When you select this option a lot of the word blocks, names and links become green. I never noticed it until this idea book, and it does look great together.

honeybee says:

Thought I'd share my favorite green chair in my gray room.

Susan Zimmerman says:

What I think is so appreciated here is how the green softens the very industrial gray.
Here is some cabinet hardware in green by Nifty Nob. Paint out cabinets or furniture gray and add a touch of color with the hardware.

I have just built a master suite onto our existing house. My bedroom is gray as well as my comforter, it has the green yellow piping around the outside of it and the throw pillows as well are the green yellow. I love it........

Mikki Marshall says:

Love this color combination and it happens to be the color palette of my home -- Grey with touches of lime and citrine! To me, lime is such a playful color like a jolt of happy. Favorite Grey is "Mouse's Back" by Farrow and Ball.

mkutil says:

I love this color combination. I noticed that in many pictures of gray walls with green accents, the furniture is generally a lighter color; mostly whites. Do you think gray walls and green accents could work with very dark colored furniture? (I NEED to update my dining room/living room combo and have started purchasing green accents and art for the walls....wondering if gray walls would mesh with dark brown furniture. For example: dining room table is made of mango wood...dark.)
