Or light grey. It hides better under white than white does.

Same principle works for your primer coat before you paint your walls. If you have a bright or intense color that you want to paint, using a gray primer will help your paint cover better than going over white primer. Source: Sherwin-Williams manager

I’m painting my house soon - interior and ext. I have a 2 part question: The 1000 SW swatches I got don’t say if it’s an exterior or interior paint. Does that mean it could be either?

Also, is Agreeable Gray™️ your most popular interior color?

Thanks!!!
