Minerals are an abundant element found in rocks, ores, and gems everywhere on earth. They come in a stunning array of colors like carnelian red, amethyst purple and obsidian black. From the gray category of minerals there are quartz, flint, graphite, and mica. Some gray shades are dark and moody while others are pale and delicate.
For paint selections in room décor, the colors can be creatively used to produce moods from serene and sophisticated to cozy and inviting. And while mineral grays can stand on their own, they also pair well with pops of color as shown in this bedroom above.
Our gallery of favorite grays shows how to use these colors by themselves or in combination with other hues, showing them off to their full potential:
French Silver is a cool, elegant gray that can create a relaxing and welcoming effect in a living room.
Silver Ash is a refined warm gray that balances stronger colors allowing décor to show and standout.
Classic Silver is a versatile, popular light gray evoking warmth and comfort. Dark hues like Graphic Charcoal help ground the space and add depth to neutral hallway.
Perfect mid-intensity shades of gray in warm to cool varieties can make a timeless home exterior color scheme.
