Maybe you prefer gray or grey. Or maybe you question how you could fit the color into your home. Shake the image of cold industrialism out of your head.

The Kitchen & Bath Association named gray color schemes as a continuing and growing trend in 2013. The association surveyed 300 members from the interior design community. They found gray in 55 percent of kitchens and 56 percent of bathrooms.

Besides shades of gray, notice how each paint color of gray has different undertones. For instance, some grays are more earthy with a smudge of brown mixed in. Other grays are cooler with a bit blue.

Add sophistication to your home with gray. Tell a story with a pop of color or with more neutral tones, giving off a sea-side vibe.

Gray or grey can be warm and tranquil or dark. Yet all forms of gray are sophisticated.
