Use a light wall like Repose Gray and add warm wood furniture and a textured rug.
Sleepy Blue or Wythe Blue create a calm, airy feel above gray planks.

Gray-look wood tile pairs well with Light French Gray and chrome or nickel fixtures.
Usually lighter. Light walls over a mid-gray floor give the room structure; one dark accent wall can add drama.
They can, if there is clear contrast in lightness and the undertones match. Use white trim and warm textures to keep it from feeling cold.
Soft sages like Jojoba, warm whites like Pure White and accents of wood, mustard or blush add warmth without fighting the floor.
