Grey Owl. Has the slightest greenish undertone, which I like.

We just finished painting with BM Edgecomb Gray. Looks great.

SW agreeable Grey is perfect IMO.

Just looked up Barren Plain, and it is right next to Nimbus on the "Similar" palette. They look identical to me. I'm going to get a sample of one of them and see how it goes. Thanks.

Another vote for Barren Plain. You could also try BM Moonshine.

Tried Moonshine, and it was way too light.

It may be too light for you, but our cabinets are Sedate Gray by Sherwin-Williams and they are decidedly gray (not blue) but not too dark. It looks more true gray in person than it does on this: https://www.sherwin-williams.com/homeowners/color/find-and-explore-colors/paint-colors-by-family/SW6169-sedategray

Light French Gray

If at all possible, pick the countertops before you pick the paint color.

Classic Gray, but it's pretty light. I also really like Abalone.

We just did BM graytint in our bathroom and I love it, but I think a slight blue undertone.

Try whatever darker shades share the same card as light pewter. We used light pewter in a rowhouse type situation where reflections from brick on neighboring houses were making other grays look purple (blue undertone + red). Also maybe gray husky

Did you try Sherwin Williams Repose Gray?

Looking for a paint color for our kitchen cabinets and have decided on gray with a medium to dark blue or blue/green island. Almost all the BM "favorite" gray paints show up way too blue in our kitchen. Stonington literally looks like powder blue. Colors look gray on the strips, but then I paint a swatch, and it comes off blue. Gray Owl is too light. I want the cabinets to look decidedly gray.
I decided to go with a warmer gray, so I tried Revere Pewter, but I think it is a bit too beige. Is there anything in between the cool grays and warmer ones that might work? Has anyone used Nimbus or Smoke Embers? Hoping the counters will be light with gray veining and light/white tile backsplash.

Also looking for a nice blue for the island, along the lines of Providence Blue, Normandy, Hamilton Blue. I think Hale and Van Deusen will be too dark.
