Quote HistoryQuoted: Grey is a neutral tone and that's why it's used in construction especially. Yeah. I was told it was easier for buyers to imagine their stuff in a neutral house. And then nobody changes it. My house was almost all beige. We have a cobalt blue library now, burgundy dining room, etc. I like colors. A lot of our friends are like "oh, I love these but I could never be so brave to do that in my house" and they leave theirs beige. It's freaking paint. It takes a couple hours and 60 bucks to change. |

Any designer who wants you to have White cabinets should be fired.
Also bleached gray floors .... Ugh  I get why realtors want it... White is a blank canvas that the buyers can make what ever they want... |

All my recent flip houses have been light grey walls with white trim and cabinets
Counters are a white/grey granite swirl Stainless appliances Natural oak floors (if I'm using real wood) or grey vinyl planking Buyers still think it's modern and "clean" compare to the bone white/beige of the 90's |

Gray is awesome. It makes anything in it or on it stand out by default.
So fill that gray kitchen with bright things and you'll notice them more. I painted my laundry room a French gray and it's awesome. Now I want to paint my home office that color. I do some color retouching and like a good neutral gray for my computer desktop. Why not do that to the walls too so my hangings jump out more?

Even though it is a rental and some real estate people said I should, I couldn't bring myself paint the oak trim. The cheap pressed wood trim, yes, no problem painting that. My tenants love the place, I let them pick their bedroom colors. One is dark green with a beige accent wall. The little girl's room is excessively pink. The other....gray.
    Carpet will go bye-bye once a tenant trashes it. So far they have kept it clean. |

I hate it too. Every house that was getting redone in my old neighborhood ended up looking like that.
Many of the houses were built in the 60s, and that gray/black/white color scheme just didn't work. But hey, we gotta be trendy, right? |

This is just an outgrowth of the earth tone thing that we did 10 years ago.
We just moved on to mineral tones. I mean what color do you want your car painted? Really there are only two colors that have more or less disappeared that were popular at one time - Beige and Yellow. |

Who said anything about dark stains? Real hardwoods will always be beautiful. Mahogany, oak, walnut, whatever. As long as you don't go full on fake wood paneling '70s and '80s style, and as long as the room has sufficient light and contrast it's good. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I just bought a house that the PO painted all of it inside grey. Place is a cave. Just got done painting it an off white. Motherfucker painted all the mahogany trim white. Not all grey is made the same. Plenty of shades of grey that are timeless rather than trendy. Furthermore, it also depends greatly with how you handle trim and floors. I think this look with the trim and floors all in consideration is generally pretty timeless:  Attached FileI think it gets a bit out of control when people carry it to the cabinets and floors at the same time to the point that the entire house is monotone or when they don't get the shade of grey right (too dark or too cold). |
