Now let's dig into the beautiful places where you can use Repose Gray beginning with examples at my house.
REPOSE GRAY IN THE KITCHEN
When we decided to refurbish our kitchen I knew I wanted white cabients and a nice neutral color on the walls. Repose Gray was perfect with its warm undertone gray.
I was going for a vintage french country look so I resorted to my french country paint colors post to pick my color. I knew right away that Repose Gray would be perfect.
If you look close above the cabinets you will see Repose Gray.
Here is another example in my kitchen sitting room where I used Repose Gray. The warm glow of outdoor lighting makes it look a little warmer here.
REPOSE GRAY PAINT ON THE EXTERIOR OF A HOUSE
Leah, from Bell Sheep Studio, has a charming home. The siding of the house is Sherwin Williams Repose Gray. The doors and shutters are Dorian Gray by Sherwin Williams and the trim on the house is Alabaster White.
All of these colors pair together to make an inviting farmhouse.

This entryway is a welcoming area with white wainscot and Repose Gray paint on the top portion of the wall. Brooke, over at Home Sweet Horton, has designed a lovely entrance for her guests. Choosing a paint color is the first step to pulling a room together.

REPOSE GRAY PAINT ON KITCHEN CABINETS
Jackie, over at Finding Lovely, has a breathtaking farmhouse kitchen. Her cabinets are painted in Repose Gray and adorned with gold handles.
Lovely describes her whole kitchen. The marble countertops and rustic chunky wooden beams are everything that makes up a farmhouse.
In addition to Jackie's cabinets painted Repose Gray I also this same color on my bathroom cabinets.
We gave our bathroom a refresh with new paint, cabinet doors and decorations. The entire room is painted Alabaster white but I wanted a nice neutral warm gray color on the cabinets and Repose Gray was perfect.
To blend the color into the room more we also painted an accent wall with Repose gray on the far end. Can you see it?

This dining room designed by Dana Interior Decor has an absolutely scrumptious dining area. Repose Gray accented by all the chicness in this room makes an appetizing place to have dinner.
One of the best things about this paint color is how it matches so many different looks. The possibilities for coordinating colors are endless. The pink flowers pop on this table.

Happy Decorating!
I painted my bedroom, family room and hall in the basement and I love it. I love how it plays off of white trim. I like the way it changes depending on the time of day and light. I am about to paint most of my father’s house this color to ready it for sale. It is just a pleasant color.
I am so glad you found my post helpful and even more glad that you love the color. This is a great color to sell a home. Good luck!
Beautiful pictures! I’m sold on Repose. What trim did you use? Would Alabaster work?
Alabaster is a great color with Repose. Extra White is also a great color for trim. I recommend painting your trim throughout the house the same color so if your house already has a white trim color I would go with that color.
@Linda McDonald, hola! I just painted my whole house repose with extra white trim and shutters real teal from SW. it looks nice but still getting use to it 😂 have you try these colors together ?
Hi! These colors sounds lovely! I recently did an exterior in repose gray with alabaster trim but this house didn’t have shutters. The repose and alabaster turned out beautiful. How do you feel about your colors now? Sometimes it takes a few weeks to adjust to major changes like exterior paint colors.
Hi there! I have Repose Gray on my kitchen cabinets but thinking about it for the exterior. For trim on exterior should I use Extra White or is that too bright? I have it inside but not sure if I should tone it down for exterior?
Also, I would love to do a dark green front door. Recommendations? How about garages? Could I go dark there maybe with an Iron Ore? Or is that too much? Thank you!
Hi Brandy! These are all good questions. Repose gray is a great color for the exterior and I get what you are saying about Extra White being too white. I would consider Alabaster as a trim option if I was concerned about Extra White. I cannot think of a dark green color for your front door off the top of my head but Iron Ore is a great color. Peppercorn is also very pretty. Have you looked at my Popular Exterior Paint Colors post? It is a good resource and might help you think through your colors more. Good luck with your painting project. What you are considering sounds great!
Hi, Thank you for this post. Love this color. I’m thinking of the repose gray for my kitchen cabinets with a navy blue for the island. Am I over doing or would I’ll that have to be a teal/green for the island? What SW color would you suggest for the kitchen island? I looked at naval/In the navy and dark knight but can’t really decide.
This is a very good question. If you like contrast then I think you will love naval on your island. Also, look at Hale Navy by Benjamin Moore. It is a beautiful color on cabinets.
@Linda McDonald, Hi I am in love with this color as well. I just painted my living room and dining room with it. I may use it in the kitchen 50 percent lighter. However I would like to update our kitchen cabinets as well but I don’t know what color to use. Can you please suggest a color that would go with Repose Grey for the cabinets.
Repose Gray is a versatile color that goes with many colors. Any white will look beautiful with it.
Hi Linda,
I have a tiny pantry off the kitchen (a small 10×10 room with a
tiny 24in. x 24in. window) and a small ceiling light. It’s obviously a tiny, dark room.
Would it be okay if I painted this room in Repose Gray? I know you’re not supposed to use a dark color in a room with little to no light, but I just love the color.
Do you have any thoughts on this?
Thanks so much!
Carla
If you love Repose Gray then I would give it a try. Make sure you have plenty of light, watts, to compensate for the this color which has a lower LRV (light reflectance value). I hope this help! Good luck on your pantry remodel!
