Keep your interior paint job simple with pavestone. We love the idea of white chairs mixed with wooden textures and the warm lights which appeals to the green hints in this color.

Pavestone holds its own on the outside too, and it’s hard to deny the overwhelming influence of the green undertones, including how it picked on the surrounding elements of nature in the second image.

Sherwin Williams Agreeable Gray

Agreeable Gray is unarguably the most benevolent of all on this list. This bad boy color is welcoming to other hues because it’s not too warm and cool. It falls right under the LRV of 60, making it work with any lighting.

For the bedroom, agreeable gray falls into character by settling for beige and matching with the dark brown beddings and drawer.

The first picture perfectly represents just how much beige you’ll find in your mindful gray, it’s quite intriguing how much the gray couch works with the composition, but that’s because there’s also a side of gray in this hue.

We love the outcome of mindful gray on the drawer and how much it sticks to its gray roots for the final execution.

Here’s perfect greige in a kitchen giving off that autumn warmth. We love it in this space because it’s more in touch with its beige side due to the direction of the light coming in and surrounding white details. The black island in the kitchen takes the contrast game to the next level with this one.

Sherwin Williams perfect greige is a unique color in the living room as it introduces a fresh, cozy vibe due to its low LRV. We always recommend that you pair this one with cool bright whites.
