    Yes, I have a pretty gray wall with granite flakes mixed in with the paint. When the sun from the skylight hits it, it's so sparkling. On the opposing wall I have a soft greyish marble wallpaper that compliments the wall. Never thought I would like grey, but it is really stunning and makes a great backdrop for hanging a quilt.

    I had grey carpet in a former house and could not wait until we finally got it changed out. Gray doesn't go with anything!

    Yes, yes, yes! My carpet is a pearl grey (light). We also had the same color in our last house in Arizona (purchsed in 1987). Grey has always been a neutral - just now being discovered by decorators I guess. Went with this color because I absolutely detest beige in any way, shape or form and it seems like most carpeting has been in this color for years - did have it in a house fromm 1979 but it was a step up from the 1975 rust that was in our first home!!

    Oh forgot - my hair is starting to match my carpet!

    I just painted my living room a "Shimmer Gray" and love it. Depending on how the light hits it you can see bluesish, lavender or gray. Very pretty. I am 70 and did all the painting and moving of furniture by myself, pretty proud of that.

    Accidentally....but I really love it! I thought I was buying more of a taupe paint to pull the color in my tile. It looks grey more days than taupe, but I get more compliments on it.....

    The walls are painted battleship grey in both my bathrooms. My brother, who is a finish carpenter, suggested the color.
