Modern Farmhouse Grays

The choice between a gray and beige is simple. It all has to do with the natural hues around you that already make up your home. Take a look at the overall aesthetic and the way you want the colors from the light to bounce of the walls. If you already have a lot of gray undertones, clean lines, and a less rustic look, then gray may be for you. Take a look at the colors in your home and be sure to take samples home to compare the different color options for paint.

1. Light French Gray from Sherwin Williams

Let's start our grays off with a bit more depth! If you are looking for a medium-light gray color with good balance, then light french gray is the perfect fit. It's a bit moodier than the previous colors above and has a slighter lower LRV. This means that the amount of light that bounces off this color is a little less than some other grays and some of the lighter colors we've mentioned above. Choosing this color means that you have a good amount of natural light and most likely have very heavily contrasting white elements in your home.
