Maroon is easily confused with burgundy. But while maroon has brown undertones, burgundy’s undertones are more purplish. So if you’re hoping to combine gray with a reddish shade that is somewhat close to neutral, maroon is a safe bet. This is another look perfect for a living room, as it provides a great balance of energy. Opt for a gray couch and gray (or off-white) walls and sprinkle in some green accents. Green lampshades, accent pillows and throws, and even a green rug can look nice. To add in a little touch of opulence, add some gold as well. Gold lamps and photo frames are often just enough. 3. Blush Pink and GrayConsider greige: This easy-to-use gray has a hint of beige or brown in it, making it warmer than your average gray hue. If you're concerned that gray would be too cold for your space, griege could be the answer. You might consider combining a rose gold hanging lamp with gray furniture.

Medium Pink and Gray If you’re partial to darker-stained woods, take a dining room and paint the walls light gray. Then add a medium- or dark-stained wooden table and chairs. To coordinate the look, add a table runner that matches the walls. This look offers a nice mix of rustic and contemporary that you don’t often see. 21.

This rich, medium-dark gray is an ideal choice if your project requires a gray shade with considerable presence. And though this color is a fairly well-balanced one, it is slightly cooler than it is warm. Because of its cool nature, Chameleon Gray looks good mixed with various shades of blue and blue-gray.
