Best Gray Paint Colors With Brown Furniture

You don't need 50 shades of gray to pick a paint color. In fact, too many choices can result in paint color paralysis. Just go stand in front of a wall of paint chips at the hardware store for proof with hundreds of shades and tones of the same color. Why is it that when we want to choose a simple neutral paint color, we're suddenly faced with over 200 choices? Luckily, there are design experts who have pored over the many shades of gray on the market for us already, making the selection a breeze.

"For a powder room, you can go darker and create a dramatic moment with a dark paint choice or even an unexpected wallpaper," designer Nate Berkus says. "Otherwise, for a full bathroom, go pale, like gray. My go-to is Dior Gray from Benjamin Moore. With white tiles, brass, and chrome, you can't go wrong."
