Take a Gray Room to the Next Level With These Accent Colors

Keep it neutral—or not.

David A. Land

From palest silver to dark charcoal, there's a right shade of gray for any room. Designers love the chameleon-like hue for its ability to skew warm, cool, or simply strike the perfect balance between the two, changing with the light throughout the day. Its neutral character also makes it the ideal partner for other colors. Whether you're looking to create a serene tone-on-tone environment or find a piece of furniture that'll really stand out, here are some of our favorite colors to pair with gray.
