If you’re looking to choose a color for a room or a wall, you may have heard of the term ‘greige’. Greige is a color that combines gray and beige, and it has become increasingly popular recently. As we transition away from the popular gray tones and more into bolder colors, these neutral light greige colors are the perfect color choice. In this blog post, we’ll discuss what greige colors are and which one is the most popular. So if you’re wondering what greige color is best for your home, read on!
What color is greige?
Greige colors are a combination of gray and beige, and they have become increasingly popular in recent years. Greige colors are often seen as a more subtle and versatile alternative to stark white walls, and they can give a room a warm and inviting feel. Greige colors can also be used to create a more contemporary look, as they often have a modern and sophisticated feel.”
Different shades of greige
Greige comes in a variety of shades, ranging from light to dark. Some of the most popular shades of greige include light greige, which is a pale beige with gray undertones. Medium greige is a warmer beige with gray undertones. Dark greige is a deep gray with beige undertones.
Depending on the shade you choose, greige can be used to create a variety of different looks in your home because it pulls from so many different colors.

My personal favorite Greige color
On a personal note; my favorite greige color is Sherwin Williams Drift of Mist. As a matter of fact, my entire house is painted in it!
You can see below where the wall (above the white wainscotting) is painted a little darker greige color. You can see more of this space with my chippy door post here.
Or you can see another example of this color in my home in our master bedroom. You can really see the gray/ beige tones against the gray barn door and white molding.
In different lighting this color takes on either a gray color or a lighter beige color and I just love it! I think it’s the perfect neutral that goes with brown, gray, light and dark hues.
Choosing a greige paint color
If I could give you any advice when choosing the right paint, always choose a lighter colored paint (even lighter than you would have initially chosen) if it’s in a room that doesn’t get a lot of light. If the room already gets a lot of natural light you could go with a darker shade of greige.
Always remember, sample the paint shade first before you commit to buying a gallon!
Wall paint colors should subtly accent the rest of the furniture and accessories in your home, not be the focus!
