We painted all the walls in our house Agreeable gray approximately 6 years ago. We still love it! We're getting ready to paint our cabinets this year, so we're looking forward to your next UA-cam on colors that will look great with Agreeable gray.
@@KylieMInteriorsPaint We have the same issue as @castuscannon. Entire interior wall paint is Agreeable gray, but our cabinet color - with "assistance" from the builder's interior designer - turned out to be more of a cool gray. Very disappointed with them! I want a color that looks saturated, but timeless. Thank you for another great video, Kylie!
Thinking about painting, my small tiny galley kitchen cabinets agreeable gray. Not sure what wall color to use? Maybe SHOJI White? Or go darker with ANEW gray? It’s so hard to decide! Love your videos for years!
Painted our new build with agreeable gray walls and decorators white trim and kitchen cabinets along with Behr’s cracked pepper on our island and interior doors. I think it all looks stunning.
Anew Gray LRV is 47. Just as important, Anew Gray is in the same 7-member Sherwin Williams family of warm grays (each color family goes from light to dark in the same general temperature - their website is excellent in showing all this), being one step darker than Agreeable Gray in this family. It's a perfect pair with Agreeable Gray for a wall that you want slightly darker (say, around a fire place). The darkest color in this family is Status Bronze, which demonstrates the general warmth of this family of grays. Meaning, Agreeable Gray and Anew Gray also have am ever so slight yellow undertone, giving it warmth. Like you said near 8:00, Agreeable Gray is a great wall color, but not a great cabinet color. It's bright enough to lighten up a room, and you still see the gray in a well sunlit room. How do I know this? I have Agreeable Gray on my walls, with some walls (over two fireplaces, and in one bar) in the third gray in this family, Mega Greige (LRV 37). And I chose Sherwin Williams Pure White for my cabinets, baseboards, and doors. I coincidently matched your recommendation of a white for Agreeable Gray! I have warm colored flooring, so I had to absolutely stay away from cool grays and cool whites. And, NO, you don't talk a lot! Do I write too much?
Amazing video, I'm debating between this color and accessible beige. I had repose gray in my home and felt too cold, I want a little more warmth this time.
Oooo, it depends on your finishes and exposures, for sure, but with the way trends are leaning (if you're at all concerned), I'd have to go with Accessible Beige over Agreeable Gray. I also love SW Egret White!
@KylieMInteriorsPaint it's dark brown flooring throughout but not sure about the exposures. We're not concerned about trends and funny you mention Egret White, we have a few rooms currently with it and love It! Maybe we will keep with the theme using that 🤗
Hi, welcome back Kylie. Quick question...do you have an videos on historic homes (interior colors)? I definitely want to keep the pine hard wood floors but will probably remove the overabundance of wainscoting in the interior rooms (bedrooms, dining room, parlor). Looking for colors that would play off of the floors and wood trim (in some areas) with bright pop for a modern airy feel.
I don't! Historic homes aren't my speciality, although I'm always happy to dive in and learn specifics. It can depend on the home, trim undertones and other finishes, for sure :)
I am paralyzed at the moment. I think that Agreeable Gray is the best color for our bathroom, but I have heard that the one color to avoid in a bathroom is green. If that undertone makes an appearance is it enough green to matter? Also what Kelvin do you want for putting on makeup at the bathroom vanity?
Super helpful!! Been overwhelmed with paint colors -90s home with lots of cherry cabinet and dark countertops and honey colored flooring with yellow undertones everywhere!!! want to modernize with something more cool - would you suggest this or edge comb grey - tons of natural light
You betcha! It's just tricky as they SAY they give you HRW, but they actually give you a doctored-up version of Extra White - it's not HRW (I have a blog post on it, if you go to my site and type in High Reflective White dupe, it'll pop up :)
Oooo, it can depend on the trim, for sure. Off the top, I USUALLY like to do kind of an off-white version of my wall color on the blinds (if my wall color is staying for a LONG LONG TIME). If you change it up every few years, you might consider matching your trim!
Hard to say as it also depends a lot on the countertop, backsplash, and flooring. Generally, cherry cabinets love a color wilth a BIT more commitment to a violet (violet-pink) undertone, like BM Collingwood, Balboa Mist, etc :)
Well...our builder-grade home came with SW Agreeable Gray walls (a substitute for PPG Moth Gray) and PPG Delicate White trim. Love the trim, can't stand the wall color as it is drab and depressing; reminds me of apartment living 52 years ago. Agreeable Gray is definitely not for everyone. You are correct: the amount of exterior light (and whether your windows are tinted) makes a great deal of difference, as does one's decor.
I painted the stairwell in my utility room Agreeable Gray. It's a pretty color. But it barely appears on my walls. I paired it with Mindful Gray. And that was a huge mistake. It doesn't look goodl. I now have to repaint the entire room. The room faces East so Mindful Gray looks blue. Costly mistake.
Is any color like agreeable gray but purple or pink undertone? I like my house exterior to be white and warm but not yellow undertone. So I’m finding a main wall color which can pair with trim on white duck or alabaster white. May I have your recommendation?
I'm considering Agreeable Gray throughout the house. The builder used "On the Rocks" which almost looks blue on the walls, while the counters are mostly browns, golds, tans with gray sprinkled in.
I need to go slighly lighter paint than modern gray in an adjoining east facing room. Any ideas on Paint colors I can try. I have modern gray in my west facing room and it looks great but need a smidge lighter for east side of house (less natural light)
Do you recommend ever painting the wall, ceiling and trim the same color? I keep seeing this advice from designers online, who say it works if you have high ceilings. What are your thoughts?
It's totally doable and you don't necesarily need high ceilings! Some people do regular size rooms/ceilings in dark colors for a moody, all-encompassing look (which can be gorgeous). Others do lighter colors for a more seamless, simple look. I do personally prefer that the ceiling be a flat finish, not textured, but people do the textured ones, too!
You can definitely try! It will also show up a bit more if you have bright enough white trim, like SW Pure White OR whiter/brighter. Try it 50% darker and see how you feel :) Undertones can shift, so sample an area carefully before you 100% commit. This being said, Anew Gray can be a gorgeous exterior color!
@@KylieMInteriorsPaint thank youuuuu!!🙌🏻 I tried the 150% sample today and noticed that stucco vs siding look so different! It looks lighter on the siding and the undertones shift a bit on the stucco. Is that normal? Since the siding is on the front of the house I’m willing to commit to it if colors will always look diff due to the varying textures…😑
@@KylieMInteriorsPaint would Snowbound be awful with AG? We are doing contrast trim and I'm leaning toward Agreeable Gray for the trim and doors, but cannot decide which white to choose (that isn't an upgrade by the builder). I want our home to be warm, not cool, and it is SE facing. Thanks!
A friend of mine was selling their home recently and was advised to paint this color. We call it Disagreeable Grey because none of us liked it and they didn’t go with it. I would rather just have a nice warm white paint than any of the greys.
Hahaha, love it! Yeeeeeah, it doesn't suit every home as if there's not enough natural light it falls flat. OR, if the finishes need more undertone it can miss the mark!~
I have a few blog posts on Behr, but tend to stick with BM and SW! I also can't get big, peel and stick samples of Behr colors, so only have the wee swatches (or have to buy the paint). I'll give it some more thought though!
Thank you for coming back and showing us great color ideas.
You are so welcome, thank you for this comment :)
It’s great to see you back on UA-cam!

I'm glad you love it! And it's funny, as I was putting these out, i THOUGHT i'd done that video - apparently I hadn't. It's on my hit list!

So glad you are back on UA-cam!!
Thank you, ME TOO!
Great info when showing the various white trim boards and your ranking for choices.

Thank you for the great video, Kylie. I would love to see recommendations for coordinating colors!

Did you do the coordinating color video? I saw one from a couple of years ago but nothing recent-ish
Soooo helpful!!! Thanks so much!

The FIRST thought to hit my brain was along the lines of SW Egret White and BM Pale Oak!
How about trim of SW highly reflective white?
You betcha! It's just tricky as they SAY they give you HRW, but they actually give you a doctored-up version of Extra White - it's not HRW (I have a blog post on it, if you go to my site and type in High Reflective White dupe, it'll pop up :)
Welcome back, Kylie. I love the wall (or cabinet interior) colour you used for the background to this video. What might it be?
Thank you! That is the lovely Benjamin Moore Classic Gray!
Great Video! What color blinds would work with this wall color? Thank you .
Oooo, it can depend on the trim, for sure. Off the top, I USUALLY like to do kind of an off-white version of my wall color on the blinds (if my wall color is staying for a LONG LONG TIME). If you change it up every few years, you might consider matching your trim!
Thank you .
Love this color!!
It's a gooder!
I painted my kitchen cabinets agreeable gray. What color do you recommend for the walls?
Hi, I love your channel! You are the best! Can I use Agreeable Gray with kitchen cherry cabinets?
Hard to say as it also depends a lot on the countertop, backsplash, and flooring. Generally, cherry cabinets love a color wilth a BIT more commitment to a violet (violet-pink) undertone, like BM Collingwood, Balboa Mist, etc :)

I want agreeable gray for my kitchen, living room. What would go well in the foyer/mudroom?
I painted the stairwell in my utility room Agreeable Gray. It's a pretty color. But it barely appears on my walls. I paired it with Mindful Gray. And that was a huge mistake. It doesn't look goodl. I now have to repaint the entire room. The room faces East so Mindful Gray looks blue. Costly mistake.
Is any color like agreeable gray but purple or pink undertone? I like my house exterior to be white and warm but not yellow undertone. So I’m finding a main wall color which can pair with trim on white duck or alabaster white. May I have your recommendation?
Hey! I a very slight shift to BM Collingwood could fix that! SW Alpaca has some decent violet tones, too!
I'm considering Agreeable Gray throughout the house. The builder used "On the Rocks" which almost looks blue on the walls, while the counters are mostly browns, golds, tans with gray sprinkled in.
I need to go slighly lighter paint than modern gray in an adjoining east facing room. Any ideas on Paint colors I can try. I have modern gray in my west facing room and it looks great but need a smidge lighter for east side of house (less natural light)
What SW ceiling color would you recommend if walls were agreeable gray?
I'd lean into Pure White!
Thanks so much! That’s what I ended up doing.
Do you recommend ever painting the wall, ceiling and trim the same color? I keep seeing this advice from designers online, who say it works if you have high ceilings. What are your thoughts?

Would you darken this color!? I’m painting my exterior and it looks like white. 😮I feel like anew gray is too dark for me?
You can definitely try! It will also show up a bit more if you have bright enough white trim, like SW Pure White OR whiter/brighter. Try it 50% darker and see how you feel :) Undertones can shift, so sample an area carefully before you 100% commit. This being said, Anew Gray can be a gorgeous exterior color!

What color cabinets should I do with SW Eider White?
I found agreeable gray was extremely light in my basement room. The only reason I knew it was different was from the trim color next to it!
Well now, THAT is weird!
So what is a lighter version/off white that ytou would recommend with Agreeable Gray if Incredible white is too pink?
I LOVE Sherwin Williams Egret White! I have a review of it on my blog. It's not QUITE off-white, but close. BM Classic Gray is another fabulous one.
@@KylieMInteriorsPaint would Snowbound be awful with AG? We are doing contrast trim and I'm leaning toward Agreeable Gray for the trim and doors, but cannot decide which white to choose (that isn't an upgrade by the builder). I want our home to be warm, not cool, and it is SE facing. Thanks!

Does she ever do any colors by Behr 🤷🏽♀️
I much prefer SW or BM -- better quality...
I have a few blog posts on Behr, but tend to stick with BM and SW! I also can't get big, peel and stick samples of Behr colors, so only have the wee swatches (or have to buy the paint). I'll give it some more thought though!
$98 a Gallon?? Are you kidding Sherwin and Benjamin?
Oh, it's for real. It hurts.
