Gray Painted Kitchens:

This kitchen is painted in two grays: SW 7672 Knitting Needles and SW 7673 Pewter Cast. The light white oak hardwood flooring gives this kitchen space the ability to use dark and light gray paint colors. This island kitchen also uses light and dark gray paint colors, with an emphasis on SW Knitting Needles gray: Gray Painted Great Rooms:

Gray paints are so flexible - and can be paired with a wide variety of accent paint colors, features, and finishes. This gray great room paint blends perfectly with the red brick fireplace wall and the light blue island: Gray paint is also very classic, and works perfectly with white and black finishes (such as this white wainscoting and black slate fireplace surround): Gray Painted Master Baths:
