13 Bold Colors That Go Perfectly With Gray

Meet gray's most popular paint pairings.

DAVID TSAY

Are you the type of person who always sticks to neutrals—who can't seem to escape the best white paint colors, best brown paint colors, and best greige paint colors when it comes to decorating your home? We don't blame you! These colors are classics for a reason, and they go with almost every color. Gray is versatile enough to stand on its own, and it comes in so many different hues that you can add depth to a space by simply layering on shades of this singular color ranging from charcoal to silver.

But we urge you to step outside of your comfort zone and set yourself up for some gray-ter expectations (sorry, we had to!), which is why you shouldn't shy away from pairing your well-loved neutral interiors with pops of bold colors, patterns, and textures. We know it can be difficult to leap before you look, so we've rounded up some of our favorite homes that will reassure you that gray paint, in particular, can be paired with tons of fun colors. From lime green to cobalt blue, you'll be so inspired to try out these color combos, you might just break out the paint brushes this weekend.

If you think "neutral" is only synonymous with "white," think again. A timeless gray is the perfect hue for kitchen cabinetry, and it's a lovely match with a patriotic palette like the one in this bold quilt-like floor tile.

Sure, white goes with everything, but there's something especially sophisticated about a nice gray paired with a crisp white as showcased in this serene bedroom. We suggest adding a little texture to a gray-and-white space with Turkish towels.
