GRAY PAINT OR OTHER NEUTRALS

We are going to be painting soon and I would love to see various shades of gray. We have crown molding which would be white. This is for the master, and possibly a different shade for our tween DD bedroom. Or any other suggestions for our DD. We are trying to keep it somewhat neutral and add pops of color in other ways, this way she can grow into it..any sugggestions? Pics?

We used BM's Through the Looking Glass for our guest room and Lilac Hush (not at all lilac-y) for our office.

SW Amazing Gray is seriously the nicest, warmest gray I have ever seen. We just painted our kitchen this color and we have white cabinets and dark floors. Its a beautiful, neutral shade.

We just had our den and living room painted with Sherwin-Williams "Proper Gray" and we love it! The white crown molding and all the window trim really pops which was exactly what I wanted.

In our house we have Revere Pewter, Annapolis gray (both kind of greige-ish) and we also have dove gray, which is a darker true gray. Sorry, no pics right now.

Like others have mentioned BM Revere Pewter is a great color. I have it in most of my house and looks a different in each room.
I get a lot of sunlight in my foyer and it looks a lot lighter then it does in my family room and kitchen. In the basement it looks like a completely different color but still gray and I still love it.

If you want darker, I did BM Chelsea Gray for my bedroom and sitting area in it and am in LOVE with it. It is a dark color but it is so warm and soothing when you go in. I have dark wood floors and white moulding and just love the look. In my sitting area, we have a dark gray sectional which feels like velvet, linen curtains and then accents of peacock blue.
My bedroom I am not sure how I will accessorize it. I was just painted. I actually painted the bedroom portion Brandon Beige but then painter came back on monday to touch up some areas and I had him repaint it to the gray.
In our guest room we did BM Templeton Gray , also on the darker side but it is a blue gray, I would said a true slate blue. Love this this color too!

Our dining room has the white box paneling on the bottom and then the top is BM Ashley Gray which is dark but more taupe.

Stone Hearth is another great color. Very similar to Revere Pewter, actually from a distance you can't tell the difference, but when you put the swatches next to each other completely different. It has more brown undertones.

My whole house is painted and decorated with various shades of gray and tan. I add color through my accessories and area rugs.
