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

This is ten thousand times worse than the names you're mocking.

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!

I had this problem! Painted the main area of our house in what apparently looked like lavender! Try a gray with more green or yellow in it and relatively less blue or red. I can’t give a specific rec because I was using BM and it may not be helpful anyway. Alternatively try to go a little darker is you don’t mind. The color will vary less with lighting.

I would NOT be paying $$$$$ for new grey cabinets in March 2022. Grey has been out for a while. It became very middle class / common about 5 years ago. It’s like installing white appliances at this point. It’s not like you have to do everything on trend but at this point installing grey cabinets is a bad investment. You’re going to want new cabinets in 2 years.

I was never a fan of the grey trend but this comment makes you sound like an absolute ass.

Grays are timeless just don’t paint your whole house in it

OP what about white cabinets and a gray island or something?

Op here. I actually have no idea what you are referring to. I tend to be ahead of all trends because I am really big into following interiors, magazines and blogs. One thing I’m not behind on is trends. I don’t really understand the statement about middle class so I’m just going to ignore it. I am interested in a neutral kitchen because it is what I like. I am also interested in a neutral kitchen because it is timeless and classy. If I can’t find a grey that I like I will look into white…on heavens not white!!!! Yes white because it’s my house, I pay the mortgage. I live here.

You’re not as on trend and in the loop as you think if you’re considering grey cabinets.

Agree on the classic comment. Thanks for the link. I’ll check it out. However, my kitchen is too small to mismatch the island with the perimeter. It all needs to be one color. I think my issue is now less with color in general rather than the marble I have is cool and it’s been a headache trying to pull a color from SW that will work with it as well the other off white in my open concept home.

Not OP but give it up! There’s something to be said for classic and neutral instead of, oh I don’t know, dark green cabinets or whatnot.

Oh I am. The trend you are currently following, I did years ago when it first came out. I have done the grey, the white, the black finishes over 4 years now. This isn’t bragging at all just being real. I have people in my circle who are all doing interior design that I did years ago. Now I am learning to follow trends less and to do what I will love forever. It’s very freeing and less expensive.

I will never understand why people get so bent out of shape about what others are doing in their own homes. If you don’t have a grey paint to suggest, there really is no need to comment.

You really have to put the samples in your room. We went with BenjMor Classic Gray, and it was the most neutral we could find. In our room so many of the most loved grays were baby blue.

Op here. I agree. I have many of the decals up as well as paint samples up and they are all blue or purple. I have the worse light in my kitchen.

Upthread PP here who recommended Reflection (/Alaskan Husky) - we have honed carrara marble in the bathrooms with a warmer greige-ish tile on the walls, and this color pulls them together well.
