10 Greige Paint Colors You Should Know About

Greige paint colors are the new white. While I adore stark white paint, greige warms up any room you use it in! These 10 slightly off-white to beige paint colors are my absolute favorite and you can’t go wrong with any of them. Let’s dive right into the 10 best greige paint colors!

Tips for Choosing the Right Color

Firstly, before diving into the actual paint colors, here are a few tips for choosing one of the following beautiful colors. Make sure to purchase samples of each color you’re interested in. Remember that colors look different in various rooms in your home, depending on the lighting. I would recommend painting large swatches on your wall and observing them in different lighting. The sun directly hitting the paint looks much different than natural morning light streaming in or under interior lighting. Make notes of how the paint colors look and whether or not you like them. Paint your swatches in different rooms that have a variety of light sources.

1. Edgecomb Gray- Benjamin Moore

This warm and versatile neutral shade has a slight green undertone that gives it a unique and inviting look. It’s so serene and calming and surprisingly adapts well to the colors around it. It’s one of the only greige paint colors mentioned here with a green undertone so it is fairly unique from that standpoint.

2. Balboa Mist- Benjamin Moore

Balboa Mist is a soft and sophisticated gray with a subtle hint of warmth that creates a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. It’s a perfect blend of cool and warm tones, which makes it a color that can complement a wide range of decor styles. One of my absolute favorites!

Pale Oak is a light and airy beige with a subtle hint of gray that exudes an elegant and refined charm. It has a soft and warm undertone that’s not too yellow or too pink. Perfect for bedrooms, offices, and main living spaces.

Shady is a rich and bold charcoal gray that commands attention and makes a statement in any room. It’s a confident and sophisticated color that can create a little drama in any room it’s used in. It pairs beautifully with metallic accents and natural materials like wood and stone, which help to balance out its dark and moody character.

It’s very pretty and isn’t too much of an “out of the box” color.
