50 Shades of Gray is more than a risqué book or movie. Gray is also a very trendy color.

According to the Paint Quality Institute, gray is predicted to be the most popular hue for home interiors for the second year in a row. This is the first time any color has headlined the forecast in back-to-back years. Why? It seems that gray has really caught on as a near-perfect neutral color. It’s very easy on the eyes. It’s understated and sophisticated. And because most tints and shades of gray are ‘chameleon’ colors that change appearance when the light changes, they provide enormous visual interest.
