One question I am asked often is if I have any good recommendations for an exterior gray paint color:

Gray for exteriors is very popular right now. And for good reason- gray is a classic color that works with any exterior color scheme and combination. I think gray works best with white trim or a lighter version of the color.
If you are trying to decide which gray to paint, a good way to start would be to decide which gray undertone do you think will work best with your exterior.

* Remember that if you want blue exterior walls, you have to pick a blue-gray color to prevent it from looking like a baby blue.
