PPG / Glidden gray paint colors

307 gray paint colors from the PPG Paints + Glidden Premium deck. LRV ranges from 83 (lightest) down to 6 (darkest). Click any swatch to see how it cross-matches at the 10 other US paint brands.

Gray is the most-recommended neutral in American interiors — the safe choice that anchors a room without committing to a strong color. The "true" grays here lean cool (blue or violet undertone) or stay almost dead-neutral. The warm-leaning grays (taupe, mushroom, greige) live in the Neutral family next door because they read closer to beige than to true gray on the wall.
