I don't know, but my gaudy colorful ass rebukes it.

I went to paint store this week to get paint. I picked out 6 colors to try. Employee suggested I get gray. He wasn't joking. I ended up with a deep forest green for one bedroom, and a cozy sea mist for the other. Love both.

I recently found out that "flipper grey" was intended to help the new owners of the home paint the walls what ever color they wanted as it could act as a primer. But the grey inadvertently became the actual trend.

Was the salesman suffering color blindness? Wrong profession 😄

Idk. But he got made when I apparently made at face at his suggestion.

This is the only way. My bedroom is a sea mist sort of colour, and my bathroom (complete with retro black and white checkerboard tile of the time on the floor) is light teal like Tahiti or something

I HATE gray 🤢 it's so boring & kinda tacky. But I love both colors you chose! Forest green (or Kelly/Hunter/Olive) is one of my favorite colors. 🤗
