Gray vs. beige exterior paint colors

Compare gray, beige and an intermediate greige on the same facade. Keep the roof, mortar, stone and wood unchanged so each neutral has the same references. Decide on body depth before fine-tuning trim and painted accents.

Suburban traditional gabled house; horizontal lap siding; charcoal gray side gable with multiple front cross-gables roof; red-brown brick entry wall.

Working with what stays

Let the fixed materials reveal the difference

A gray roof, warm stone and wood garage can each pull attention toward a different neutral. Compare every major material in the same view rather than matching only the roof.

Avoid changing the brightness and temperature together

A very dark gray and pale beige differ in more than one way. Include alternatives at a similar depth so you can judge the neutral direction itself.
