We receive many, many questions regarding grays. One of the most frequently asked is how to difference between warm and cool grays, and their respective influence on a space.
Cool grays will have a blue, purple and green undertone, while warm grays will have a yellow, red, or brown undertone to them.
If you paint an area in your home a cool gray, like French Silver PPU18-05, you’ll give your space a more light, airy and relaxed feeling. Warm grays, such Chic Gray PPU26-10 are the perfect background for a cozy, earthy, and sophisticated feel.

Hello Tonantzin, thank you for visiting our blog!
We recommend the following warm gray tones.
Graceful Gray PPU18-12, or Fashion Gray PPU18-15. They are warmer so they will not look pale blue.
Hope this helps!
