Benjamin Moore- Wish Homeowners love this shade, and for good reason! [Wish by Benjamin Moore](https://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/color-overview/find-your-color/color/af-680/wish?color=AF-680) is a lighter gray that pulls warm and lends itself to modern farmhouse homes as well as more contemporary facades. Wish could be considered greige, as it has yellow and gray in it. The warm, neutral feel of Wish creates a cozy, welcoming vibe.    ## 2. Benjamin Moore- Thunder ![bejamin moore thunder](https://blog.brushandrollpainting.com/hs-fs/hubfs/bejamin%20moore%20thunder.jpg?width=104&name=bejamin%20moore%20thunder.jpg)Another warm, neutral gray, [Thunder by Benjamin Moore](https://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/color-overview/find-your-color/color/af-685/thunder?color=AF-685) can also pull pinkish or purple as a medium greige—like with any paint shade, this will depend on the amount of sun your home gets. Sultry and stormy, it's versatile and super easy to coordinate with additional trim shades. Everyone loves a shade that they can't go wrong working with, and Thunder is exactly that exterior paint shade.    ## 3. Benjamin Moore- Wickham Gray ![Wickham Gray](https://blog.brushandrollpainting.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Wickham%20Gray.jpg?width=107&name=Wickham%20Gray.jpg)If your sensibilities lean more on the cool side, [Wickham Gray by Benjamin Moore](https://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/color-overview/find-your-color/color/hc-171/wickham-gray?color=HC-171) might be your best choice. This blue-green gray can pull different colors depending on the light, and it even looks icy at times. Wickham Gray is light and pretty and can look a little different depending on which colors you pair with it. The trim colors and what you paint your shutters will have an impact on any gray you choose for the facade.    ![Gray house with white trim](https://blog.brushandrollpainting.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Ott%20After%201.jpg?width=526&name=Ott%20After%201.jpg) [![How To Clean Your Exterior Paint](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/7973434/f7c324f6-9916-4d83-85bd-1c32f853a64d.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/7973434/f7c324f6-9916-4d83-85bd-1c32f853a64d) ## 4. Benjamin Moore- Gray Owl Light and silvery, [Gray Owl](https://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/color-overview/find-your-color/color/2137-60/gray-owl?color=2137-60) is a versatile crowd-pleaser. It's one of Benjamin Moore's![Gray-Owl-](https://blog.brushandrollpainting.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Gray-Owl-.jpg?width=142&name=Gray-Owl-.jpg) most popular shades. Gray Owl can reflect light, and it's described as clean and crisp mid-tone gray with hints of green. It goes back and forth between cool and warm, so it just depends on where the light hits it and its surrounding colors.    ## 5. Benjamin Moore- Edgecomb Gray ![Edgecomb Gray](https://blog.brushandrollpainting.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Edgecomb%20Gray.jpg?width=117&name=Edgecomb%20Gray.jpg)A favorite go-to gray, [Benjamin Moore's Edgecomb Gray](https://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/color-overview/find-your-color/color/hc-173/edgecomb-gray?color=HC-173) has almost a cult following among designers and homeowners. It's the perfect gray to add warmth because it has a bit of beige in it. Most professionals consider Edgecomb Gray to be the ideal greige shade. Edgecomb Gray goes with an off-white for trim and maintains a light and airy feel for homes.   ![Medium gray house](https://blog.brushandrollpainting.com/hs-fs/hubfs/trinity-nguyen-xQhqS7OWEqE-unsplash.jpg?width=518&name=trinity-nguyen-xQhqS7OWEqE-unsplash.jpg) ## [![Exterior Painting Cost](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/7973434/33763874-b13b-4de0-8e5a-2c189216bc0a.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/7973434/33763874-b13b-4de0-8e5a-2c189216bc0a) ## 6. Benjamin Moore- Storm [Storm by Benjamin Moore](https://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/color-overview/find-your-color/color/AF-700/storm?color=AF-700) is a medium gray with a major personality. All gray shades![Benjamin. Moore Storm](https://blog.brushandrollpainting.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Benjamin.%20Moore%20Storm.jpg?width=120&name=Benjamin.%20Moore%20Storm.jpg) have undertones, and Storm has cool purple undertones. This bold, sultry shade is great if you want a stronger impact than a soft gray or greige. Because of the blue-purple undertones, it looks great with opposite colors such as yellow, green, and orange.  ## 7. Benjamin Moore- Stonington Gray ![Benjamin Moore Stonington Gray](https://blog.brushandrollpainting.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Benjamin%20Moore%20Stonington%20Gray.jpg?width=113&name=Benjamin%20Moore%20Stonington%20Gray.jpg)Another cool gray, [Stonington Gray](https://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/color-overview/find-your-color/color/hc-170/stonington-gray?color=HC-170) is elegant and gorgeous. It's a medium gray with cool blue undertones and even slightly purple in some light. It's not as icy as some other cool grays, but it's just slightly stormy. Pair with warm, soft whites like Chantilly Lace by Benjamin Moore to contrast with Stonington Gray.   ## 8. Benjamin Moore- Revere Pewter You can never go wrong with any of Benjamin Moore's top-selling paints, and [Revere![Revere Pewter](https://blog.brushandrollpainting.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Revere%20Pewter.jpg?width=113&name=Revere%20Pewter.jpg) Pewter](https://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/color-overview/find-your-color/color/hc-172/revere-pewter?color=HC-172) is no exception. It's a light to mid-toned gray with warm undertones and has been popular for years for both interiors and exteriors. Revere Pewter isn't a "pure" gray so some describe it as muddy. This unique shade has warm green undertones and leans warm greige on homes and walls.  [![DOWNLOAD A FREE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO HIRING A PAINTER](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/7973434/d70731df-b402-4ff1-8341-6a51dcabce3a.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/7973434/d70731df-b402-4ff1-8341-6a51dcabce3a) Gray is a chameleon color, so you can always expect them to look slightly different depending on their environment.
