Best PPG Gray Paint Colors 2026: 8 Exclusive Shades
Most of PPG's grey and greige range is sold identically under the Glidden name, so a genuinely PPG-only guide has to look at the shades that aren't duplicated anywhere else — four from PPG's licensed Frank Lloyd Wright collection, plus four uniquely named greys and grey-greens from PPG's own library. Between them they span cool blue-greys through to warm, earthy stone tones.

Try the Visualiser NowWright Soft Grey
PPG FLLW872A true, neutral mid-grey from PPG's licensed Frank Lloyd Wright collection. No strong undertone pulling it warm or cool — a dependable backdrop for rooms with a lot of pattern or colour already at play.
Wright Pearl Gray
PPG FLLW918A pale, warm grey with real depth — closer to a soft stone than a cold grey. Suits period rooms and spaces with warm wood detailing.
Wright Stone Grey
PPG FLLW858A deeper, warm grey-brown from the same collection, echoing Wright's preference for earthy, natural-material colours. Works well as a grounding whole-room shade.
Wright Grey Tan
PPG FLLW840A soft grey-tan that sits right on the boundary with beige. A gentle, easy-to-live-with neutral for bedrooms and living rooms.
How Handsome
PPG1040-4A cooler, blue-leaning grey unique to PPG's own library — no Wright pedigree, but a confident, contemporary choice for bathrooms and kitchens.
Sentimental Lady
PPG1159-2A pale, powdery blue-grey with a gentle, quiet quality. Suits bedrooms and any room where you want the coolness of grey softened slightly.
Colonial Aqua
PPG1148-4A muted grey-green with a hint of aqua — an unusual, characterful alternative to a standard grey for a bathroom or study.
Fisherman's Net
PPG14-25A pale, warm grey-green named for weathered rope and netting. A soft, coastal-leaning neutral that avoids feeling clinical.
Why These Colours Work So Well
The Wright-collection greys (Wright Soft Grey, Wright Stone Grey) carry the same restraint and warmth that ran through Wright's original interiors — built to work as calm backdrops rather than statement colours. How Handsome and Sentimental Lady sit at the cooler, more contemporary end of PPG's own range, while Colonial Aqua and Fisherman's Net bring in a genuinely unusual grey-green that's harder to find elsewhere.
How to Choose the Right Shade for Your Space
As with any grey, check the fixed materials in your room first. Warm wood floors and brass fittings pair naturally with Wright Stone Grey or Wright Grey Tan; cooler surfaces like marble or chrome suit How Handsome or Sentimental Lady better. Colonial Aqua and Fisherman's Net are strongest as a deliberate choice in a bathroom or study rather than a whole-home neutral, since their green undertone is more noticeable across a large area.
