Gray is currently the most popular paint color. It's soft, stylish and neutral…the perfect combo. Gray also works so well with dark hardwood floors (the most popular) as well as light hardwood floor.
In her new paint line—Magnolia Home by Joanna Gaines—four of the 25 colors are blue. The closest one to this soft shade is called Rainy Days. Joanna says she loves "lighter blues with gray undertones because you can use them as neutrals."

Super White (OC-152), Benjamin Moore
This is a bold, crisp, bright white that's a bit less on the creamy side. It's a great choice for a darker space, as natural light will bounce off it and completely brighten up the room. This a classic white to put in your arsenal.Alabaster is a soft, almost off-white paint color. It's definitely not white because of the neutral beige undertones it has, though it is close.
Decorator's White OC-20 (LRV 85) – This is the most popular white for trim, most likely due to the name. It's white and has a faint hint of pale cream. The second option is to do a slightly warmer and softer white.

Sherwin William's Agreeable Gray works particularly well with white trim, blues, greens, turquoises and neutral color schemes. It's versatile and doesn't take on a blue or green hue when you use those colors for accents (as most gray paints do). It's great for modern farmhouse decor, too.

SW Alabaster can be pretty, but the cool tone of Agreeable can activate the warmth of Alabaster a bit much for this gal.Somewhere along the line, white became the standard color for trim and ceilings. And although it is certainly beautiful and can lend a crispness and freshness to a room, painting your walls, trim, and even your ceiling, all the same color definitely has its advantages.
Snowbound is often referred to as a timeless white to use in your home. It's a pretty mix between a warm and cool white that pulls a slight gray color.
What are the undertones of Pure White? Pure White has very little colourant in it, which is why its LRV is so darned high! It has a wee wink of black (which just softens it) and a drop of yellow which makes it slightly warm. This means that if you have a bright red couch, Pure White could reflect a subtle pink hue.

For an optimum effect, select soft tones of off-white, blue and green, and always remember that brighter rooms look bigger and more inviting. Try painting your wall trim and moldings in a lighter color than your walls. By doing so, the walls will appear farther back, making your living room seem bigger.
White ceilings are often the best choice for a room. White overhead tends to disappear, so your attention focuses on the walls and furnishings. A white ceiling also offsets intense wall color: boldly colored walls look crisp and sharp, and the ceiling feels higher.
