Difference in Lighting

Both of the walls below are painted with the paint color, agreeable gray.

The natural lighting and incandescent lighting can make a big difference in the appearance.

As you can see with natural sunlight, the paint color appears more beige and warmer because the yellow undertones show through.

Then with incandescent lighting reflecting off the painted walls, the paint feels more gray and cooler.

So, keep in mind the surrounding home decor items and lighting will totally change the look and feel of this color.

Painting your walls this shade of gray and adding texture will create space that you will never want to leave!

If you do decide to paint your cabinets a shade of griege, I recommend painting the surrounding walls with a white paint color or a darker color to add contrast.

Another thing to consider when designing your kitchen would be to add a white oak or black kitchen island to help break up the neutrals a bit.
