To help you choose the ideal gray paint color for your space take these essential factors into consideration.

The light they reflect is dependent upon the amount of light in the room the type of lighting natural or artificial and finally the color on the wall and the furniture furnishings in the space.
Also using cement gray shades can be a nice way to have a perfect result.
