Interior paint is all about colors for room decoration purposes and to beautify your home

Being professional Toronto Painters and condo home painters in Toronto, we have seen the trend of room paint colors transitions from beige to grey

The most reason for this color transitioning is that gray is a neutral color. It gives your home modern look and it still has classic look also.
Gray works well with any other color and is easy to decorate with.

Let’s think about fashion design industry for second, the color of black, white and gray has been around years. They never got out of dated and we still wear those colors today.

When you decide to go with color gray to paint your home and rooms, you need to be aware that you cannot find pure gray color.

The gray paint color is always tinted with other colors by paint manufactures and this is called undertone color.

I am not sure the reason, but, there is mainly four undertones for color gray. gray with beige, gray with blue, gray with purple/pink and gray with green undertone.

The lighting will reveal those undertone colors and will impact the way the gray paint color looks in your home and rooms.

Pro tips, always looking at color chips by holding it vertically against wall
