Greige is not beige and it is not gray it is actually a combination of beige and gray which makes it greige. It is a neutral color that doesn't read any color. Greige rides the fence between gray and beige. It is nice and neutral.

Project Tips:
- LRV – You'll read the term LRV throughout the post. It stands for Light Reflectance Value. The highest LRV is 100. The higher the number, the more light will reflect from the color. A high LRV is a highly reflective white and is great for a small room or a room that you want to be bright and sunny. You can learn more about understanding LRV in paint in this post.
- RGB – RGB is the amount of red, blue, and green in each color. The colors with higher red levels will have warm tones, and a higher blue will be a cooler white.
- Samplize – You can get peel and stick paint samples of these colors from Samplize.
- Curbside Pickup: Did you know you can call ahead an order at your nearest Sherwin Williams and pick it up. It saves time and makes pick up easier.
- Trim Paint Colors: When picking paint for your whole house, I recommend you pick the same trim color throughout your whole house. It is a great way to keep your home's appearance consistent and make your life easier.
Now that we have a list let's dive into each color with more detail. We'll start with the lighter greiges and work our way to the darker greiges.

Warm Stone is a lovely dark greige. It has the most gray color of the greige's we've talked about. Here we used it on my daughter's front door.
Recently my daughter and her husband painted the exterior of their home in Shoji White and the shutters in Iron Ore, both by Sherwin Williams. She was looking for the best option to match those colors and teh cocoa warm tones of her brick. Warm Stone was the perfect neutral paint color that matched both.
I think she made a great choice!
With an LRV of 20 and a color balance of R 136 G 123 B 108, it is the least reflective and warmest of the greige's we've featured today.
If you are looking for a beautiful brown color then check out warm stone because it is a soft brown hue.

Are you talking about Oxford White, an HGTV Sherwin Williams color at Lowes? If so, the RGB is 236, 238, 235. Because these numbers are so close, I would think it is fairly neutral, meaning it is a clean, clear color leaning slightly on the cool side.
