So now, let’s talk more about a question I’m sure you’re asking yourself right now.

Is There A Difference Between Greige and Taupe?

Greige and taupe are actually different colors! The may look similar but their differences lie in the undertones.

Top 15 Greige Paint Colors For Your Home

So now let’s look at the most popular greige paint colors you’ll find today, from the best selling paint brands — Sherwin Williams and Benjamin Moore.

Benjamin Moore Revere Pewter

Revere Pewter is a warm gray paint color that has green undertones. It’s been a favorite among designers and homeowners and is (most likely) one of the most popular paint colors of all time. 

This color looks fabulous on almost any surface from kitchen cabinets (seen below) to walls, trim and even furniture!

Benjamin Moore Classic Gray

Now classic gray is an ultra-light shade of gray. It has very subtle warm, green undertones. And many like to choose this color for an off-white look in their home.

Classic Gray is a great choice for every exposure in your home – north, south, east or west! It’s just so light – that more often than not – it’s going to look white no matter what sunlight the room receives.

This color can offer a very light contrast from a brighter white as seen in the kitchen below.

Sherwin Williams Accessible Beige

Accessible Beige is one of Sherwin William’s top sellers! Even though this paint color is often labeled a beige, it falls nicely in the greige category as well.

Even though it has gray undertones, the slight green undertones helps it slide right into a greige color. It’s a great color to update your home for a more traditional room feel and look.

And this color is a fabulous pick for trim and doors! See how beautiful the contrast it produces with lighter white wall colors.

Sherwin Williams Anew Gray

Anew Gray is a light to medium greige and is often referred to as a darker version of Agreeable Gray.

Agreeable Gray (which we will talk more about later) often sides more to gray where as Anew Gray fits more nicely between gray and beige.

Sherwin Williams describes it as a “mellow, mid-tone gray that works in every room. Its warm stone undertone exudes a quiet energy, even in dim lighting.”

Benjamin Moore Natural Cream

Love this color! Natural Cream is a warm greige with invisible green undertones. It’s a neutral paint color that can flatter both warm and cool color schemes.

Natural Cream is light enough to brighten a room but has enough depth to not look washed out. It’s just such a beautiful warm greige!

Sherwin Williams Repose Gray

Obviously, Repose Gray is a warm gray paint color. While Repose Gray can favor some purple undertones, it also has a bit of green undertones as well making it fall into the greige family.

Repose Gray is a very versatile neutral that I think looks best in a room with a lot of natural light. I love this color and actually have used it throughout my whole home!

Sherwin Williams Agreeable Gray

Agreeable Gray has become one of Sherwin Williams top selling gray paint colors in recent years. As I mentioned before, Agreeable Gray often favors more gray. So if you are looking for a more true warm gray, this is your color.

This light greige color can work well in many different rooms and lighting situations.

Benjamin Moore Balboa Mist

Balboa Mist is a warm, light greige paint color. This color coordinates well with other paint, decor and especially white trim!

So when you’re looking for a whole house paint color, Balboa Mist is the perfect choice for using throughout the entire home. Love this color on the built-ins in this living room.

Benjamin Moore Pale Oak

One of Benjamin Moore’s best sellers, Pale Oak is a color that can lean slightly more gray. But it’s a versatile neutral that can look great in either a bright or dark room.

And it can be a beautiful paint color option for contrasting trim or wall treatments as seen on this shiplap wall below.

Sherwin Williams Amazing Gray

If you are looking for a true middle ground between a gray and beige color, may I suggest Amazing Gray. Sherwin Williams describes Amazing Gray as “Impressively versatile. This light hue, with warm green-gray undertones, works in just about any setting. A popular choice for interiors and exteriors.”

Even though this color is one of my darker picks on the list, it’s still a great choice for walls, trim and even kitchen cabinets.

Sherwin Williams Colonnade Gray

Colonnade Gray is definitely a warm, neutral gray paint color but can fall into the greige color category because it has a very minor green undertone. And that little bit of warmth helps give this color more of a beige tint.

This color can look fantastic with warm wood features. But it can also work beautifully in rooms with less light like a bathroom. It may look a tad more gray though then greige.

Benjamin Moore Edgecomb Gray

Edgecomb Gray is a lovely warm gray with very slight green tones. It’s a darker version of BM Revere Pewter and a lighter version of BM Classic Gray.

Not only is Edgecomb Gray a good choice for an interior color, but it looks amazing on a homes exterior as well.

So if you are wanting the perfect greige color for your home both inside and out – definitely take a hard look at this fabulous neutral color.

Sherwin Williams Balanced Beige

Balanced Beige is a light to medium warm beige color. It’s not as bright as it’s lighter vision Accessible Beige (mentioned earlier in the post).

Sherwin Williams describes Balanced Beige as “a true balance of warm and cool tones, this beige adapts well to almost any setting. Pair it with fresh whites like Alabaster or Aesthetic White”.

Sherwin Williams Modern Gray

Modern Gray is another color that leans more to the gray side of the color family. It’s the lighter side of Colonnade Gray (mentioned earlier in the post).

But with certain lighting it can lean more warm and beige like – especially in a south-facing room or a room that gets a ton of western afternoon sun.

Sherwin Williams Worldly Gray

Worldly Gray is a soft neutral beige that can easily be seen as a warm gray or greige. But overall, Worldly Gray is a greige at heart! Even with it’s very mild green undertones, most of the time it’s going to look very neutral.

It’s a great choice for walls, cabinetry and even homes exteriors. If you are on the hunt for more of a lighter, soft gray that isn’t too warm, check out Worldly Gray!
