Gray is one of the hottest siding colors on the market — and for good reason. This color is a versatile neutral that comes in hundreds of shades and undertones, making it easy to customize your home’s appearance while still choosing a classic color that won’t go out of style.
If you are interested in boosting the appeal of your home with a gray or greige exterior — get some inspiration from the following trending shades.
Popular Gray and Greige Paint Colors
If you are searching for a fresh gray paint color for your exterior, consider some of these lovely shades by Benjamin Moore.
Thunder by Benjamin Moore
Thunder is a light, warm-toned gray with earthy undertones and a sophisticated appearance. If paired with off-white trim and accents, it leans heavily toward “greige” (gray with beige undertones) and is a classic color that will make guests and you feel welcomed and relaxed.
Chelsea Gray by Benjamin Moore
Chelsea Gray is a true gray with subtle warmth and a rich appearance. Because of its violet undertones, it looks great with pale purple, and the brownish undertones pair well with wood detailing, like a wooden front door. Use a lighter color, like white, for trim, soffits, and eaves.
Midnight Oil by Benjamin Moore
Midnight Oil is a saturated dark gray that pairs well with moss green, pale blue, and off-white colors. However, if you really want to make a statement, consider pairing this intense gray with dark accents, like black, for eye-catching curb appeal.
Kendall Charcoal by Benjamin Moore
Kendall Charcoal is a neutral gray with earthy undertones that make it an excellent siding color for homes with organic accents like stone, brick, or wood. It takes on a greige appearance with light trim and a slate color with darker trim and accents, so it is versatile.

Last Embers
Last Embers is a cool, dark gray with blue undertones — in fact, in the proper lighting, it may even appear navy blue. This color is ideal for a contemporary home and should be paired with light trim and accents to dial down the intensity of this striking shade.
Peppery Ash
Peppery Ash is a warm gray with natural green undertones that looks great with white or black trim — the choice is yours. If you live in an area with lots of natural greenery, choose this gray to bring out the stunning green undertones around your home.
Slate Steps
Slate Steps is a lighter greige that, as the name suggests, looks like natural slate. Like Peppery Ash, this shade has green undertones, but since the color is darker, they are much more toned down. Consider pairing this color with natural wood, stone, or brick.
Stone Beach
Stone Beach is about as light as it gets when it comes to gray siding — this pale gray could almost be passed off as an off-white. However, the undertones are undeniably greige, so pair this siding with black details, like windows and trim, to help it “pop.”
