Never choose just one image that you like to base your decision on a paint color. You will see here that each of these exact examples show how gray paint colors can take on such a unique personality of their own, based on the space.

Dolphin Fin By Behr Mixes Well With Chocolate Colors & Wood Tones
Here is why this space is special. Lots of creams are layered on top of a dark chocolate brown rug. Oversized cream matted artwork in white frames is a beautiful addition over the couch because the Dolphin Fin gray walls allow them to pop in contrast.
A wood ladder and wicker basket and leather poof create wonderful texture.
Lastly, throw in a little pink color to make everything come together with a fabulous faux floral and a blush mohair pillow!
