3 Reasons to Like Shades of Gray

Neutral wall colors like white and khaki have always been a go-to for many people, but the new trend of gray wall color has become the new favorite “neutral “.

Here are 3 Reasons why GRAY is so perfect!

1. Both lighter and darker shades of gray work well with cool and warm tones, so as a backdrop gray is ideal.

Have you often wondered “Am I spelling g-r-e-y correctly…or is it g-r-a-y?”. How do you spell the color grey or gray? Well, the answer is they are both correct. There are two acceptable spellings. Gray is used primarily in the United States and other areas that use US English. Grey is used in Great Britain and areas that use UK English.

I love the fresh feel that gray lends to a space and really love the versatility it offers when decorating. White walls will always be a staple in the design world but gray is fast becoming a perfect alternative!

Great title…I thought the post was going to be about the book. I was glad it was about actual shades of the color gray!
