Greige or Gray or Grey

I've begun contemplating a new paint job for my living/dining room and entry hall.  At the moment the entry is a milk chocolate color that was painted to look custom painted to sell.  I don't really care for it and the living room is a darker brown.  I actually like it better, but typically gravitate toward lighter rooms.  There is plenty of sunshine so it can handle the darker color.  Lately I'm toying with different ideas.  I mentioned indigo blue a few weeks ago.  Most recently I'm thinking of painting these areas with some version of gray.  I love the mixture of grays and beige that I've seen showing up this last year.  I'm kind of tired of an all brown/beige/gold color palette. Here are some of my inspiration photos.

Does anybody out there have a favorite gray paint color? The search is on.  I'm going to buy samples today and some foam core to try them out.  I'll keep you posted.

I like the gray in picture number four the best. It's warm and inviting...not too light and not too dark. Pretty! Have fun with your swatches. :-)
