If anyone is looking for a warm gray paint color, I highly recommend London Fog by Benjamin Moore. It's a lovely warm gray color. I have it on my upstairs hallway and all on the 1st floor. Depending how the light hits it, it reads more of a taupy beige. It's not too dark and not too light. I love it!

Here is a good representation of my "style." LOL This is the view from my dining room looking at my front door that I just painted bright green today. As you can see, there is gray and white, too. And all my Fiestaware dishes in my china cabinet. Love that door color! Cursing my HOA that it will not be mine while I live here.

I absolutely love white, gray and blue in my house. I always have and likely always will. The first kitchen I redid was back in 2000, and I changed out all the wood cabinets for painted light gray with a dark blue Cambria quartz countertop. You would not believe how hard it was to find gray anything back in 2000! I tried to find gray leather furniture for several years. Salespeople, even in high end custom made places, kept showing me taupe and calling it gray.
When we bought our previous home, it had to be gutted (everything was 1970s). I redid the entire house in grays, blues, whites. I got so many compliments on it and several who expressed how much they love those colors but were afraid to stray from the woods, creams and beiges in their homes.
I just redid our kitchen and master bath last year in our newest home, and they are in the white, light gray and blue scheme. I never tire of those colors.
People tend to think of wood tones, cream, off-white, etc., as neutral. They ARE if you like the warmer neutral tones. I have always preferred the cool neutrals, and therefore, will always go with white and gray as MY neutrals!
PS... my wardrobe is also in the cool neutrals. You will not find ANYTHING brown or cream colored in my closet!

I love it. Gray makes a nice backdrop. I like a neutral palette to showcase interesting elements. We have a lot of eclectic artwork, statues, and furniture so we need a calm color scheme or it would look like a crazy lady lives there. It may already but I can at least try to tone it down.
