Gray is the ultimate neutral. It looks good with just about any color and ranges from cool to warm. Gray can provide the perfect anchor color and can also be used to offset moldings, flooring and ceiling in a room. Because gray looks good with just about any accent color you can’t really go wrong! Check out gray with these hot new color trends for 2010!
Gray and Yellow
Add a little cheerfulness to your gray with a beautiful yellow! If you have gray floors, gray walls or gray bathroom tiles work with what you’ve got to incoorporate color.
Gray and Turquoise
Turquoise is a hot color this season and will surely make any room pop with color! Blue evokes a calming emotion and between that and gray this color combo will keep you at ease.
Gray and Orange
Orange is becoming more and more popular these days despite how much your mom may hate it! If you use it sparingly you might not hate it 20 years later as much as your mom does.
Gray and Pink
So, pink might be a little touchy especially for the guys or if you live with a guy! Chances are, that you might not get your husband to agree with pink in a common area, but you might be able to swing it in a children’s room or guest bedroom. However, if you live alone this could be the perfect color palette just for you!
I love the Gray & Yellow combination! Never thought about using gray, but I love it with the yellow … really bright & cheery. I’d like to do something in that color scheme in our house somewhere.
Great ideas in these postings! Keep ‘em coming …
This is an AWESOME article. I am redecorating my bedroom and I am looking for new colors. This gave me LOTS of great ideas! Gray is the new black! I always thought of gray as being drab and depressing but this sure shed some light on how to use gray the right way. Thanks so much for this! I am seriously thinking of adding some gray. I have a lot of teal, aqua and yellow anyway so I could really see this working for me….and best of all I won’t have to buy all new stuff!
Hi Zoe!
That is great! I’m glad you found some new ideas but still working with what you have! And you are right, gray is the new black! Gray is neutral and unlike black there are many different shades. Good luck on your project!
