Show me your grey walls!

Hi

Has anyone got any warm, light grey colour paints they would suggest?

Photos would be great!
As no-one else has posted a reply I will show you some pics of our walls in different lights. Even though it is not a popular colour on this forum we like it.
Walls are Dulux Bleaches Half and trims are Bleaches Quarter semi gloss. Other similar shades we looked at were Vanilla Quake, Grey Pebble and Ghosting.

we have Taubmans Solitude. Dont bother looking at the website - it looks brown (which its not), the paint chip no longer exists and photos will never be a true representation of the colour.

I would suggest looking at current paint chips and getting pots made up of the colours you like to see it at scale. Buy a 2m square of ply and paint that up and hold against your furniture and current cornices etc to get a good feel for the colour.

Dulux white Duck quarter
Thanks guys! They're all really nice! Has anyone gone darker, more towards a mid tone? Love to see those photos also to compare
have you looked at houzz.com?
We used 1/2 dulux grey pebble in our last build. It was a lovely warm grey. It went with everything.
We used taubmans beige ash in our last place. There are pics on page 1 of my thread (sorry cant seem to upload pics at the moment)
i used grey pebble also but quarter and in the theatre room and feature wall a dark grey called leadman grey.
We used Taubmans Surfmist
We're having Taubmans Shaded Grey on our walls. Haven't started yet so no pics.
