Op here. Thanks for all of the suggestions!

I’ve used Agreeable Gray, Repose Gray, and Modern Gray and none lean blue/purple. Of the 3, Repose is coolest and Modern is warmest.

Worldly Grey. Is this room getting a little of a lot of natural light during the day? Do you have dark, medium, or light shaded/colored furniture?

+1 to this. Her big takeaway is that the lighting in the room and the exposure (N/S/E/W) will greatly impact the outcome in terms of how the color reads. Do your research and pick a few of the top contenders and then do swatches to see the colors in your actual space throughout the day.

Totally depends on the light and other finishes (flooring?) in your room. First step is bring home some of the free small swatches from the store. When you narrow it down order the larger ones from SW or samplize to be sure

Op here. I am considering a grey for my cabinets. I have been following Kylie and she is amazing but have had no success as I can’t find a grey on my own as I am trying to pair it with a cool marble and most cool gray paint leans purple/blue in my Kitchen. I think I’ll probably need to end up with a color consultation with SW or I’ll need to go cool white and I don’t want to do that either. I’m pretty set on the marble now I just need a color to match it!

We spent a lot of time on this and found the usual choices - Repose and Agreeable - definitely had an undertone to them.

We ended up with Passive which we love.

We recently did a kitchen renovation and we picked Unique Grey. We love it and it looks great.

You can ask them what the exact mix is, then choose the undertones you want.

A lot of people being smart on here. "Agreeable grey" wtf. "Repose grey" sounds like a freaking cadaver. Sherwin Williams would be rolling over in his grave.

Spunk grey. Grey with sparkles. Unicorn grey. Gay grey. Live a little people.
