Chosing Grey Paint - Help Appreciated!

We're doing our trim and wood work in our house first (white) - but in the meantime, we are finalizing our our wall paint colors!! I need your help!

We are picking a yellow for the living room, where our new grey couch will live, and dining room walls and grey for the entry way, stairs and upstairs hallway walls.

The Grey Debate...

Updated with this added option (thanks to Chelsea's comment about what she has in her house):

Paint: Ralph Lauren Forde Abbey - I like this a lot... as well as the below one, too. Choices Choices. Thanks for all your help and comments - keep 'em coming! :)

  3. Thank you! I'm on the same page as you both. Since this is for the hallways, entry way, etc - the grey needs to be a bit lighter and this one fits the bill!

  4. I went through the same predicament a couple months back when I painted my bedroom a grey. I started off with Glidden's Pebble Grey, but it had way too much blue/purple undertones. Three days later I painted the whole room again with Ralph Lauren's Forde Abbey, more of a "greige" and I love it!

    Make sure you get samples; the color could look totally different in your house. Good luck and can't wait to see some pics!

  9. #2 is really pretty if you want a softer grey. I'm also liking the last one. #1 is good too. It's gonna look great Meg!

  10. I am glad Alli said she likes the last one too, because I was going to say that after the first one, the Benjamin Moore Kendall Charcoal is my next favorite!
