I'm blown away by how many various shades of gray exist.

I've narrowed it down to these nine:

    I think I like skyline gray. I always go a little darker since I had to live with white walls forever!

    Would love to see it in person along with the coach. You want to stay in the same color palette...blues vs browns when you are talking grays. You need to put the sofa in the photo?? But one thing is for sure..paint doesn't cost a ton..mostly labor..so do what you feel you love...you are artistic

    Going off of a picture, I'd say Blue Silver or Cloudy Morning.

    Turtledove. Walls are huge and darker paint can be oppressive. I like warm grays because flourescent light doesn't turn them or the people in them quite as cold.

    Cupboards and such in our rental are painted a grey with a lot of brown in it and I HATE it. So I would go with one with more blue in it.

    I've been looking for the perfect gray for my bedroom and found it in this picture:

    I emailed the designer and she responded saying that she used Benjamin Moore paint in white dove and classic gray and had them made up in Aura. I still am not really sure what "Aura" means but I looked it up and here's what Benjamin Moore says about it:
