The Challenge with Medium Gray Paint Colours
Medium Gray colours occupy a specific part of the spectrum where undertones shift dramatically depending on light source and adjacent colours. The difference between a medium gray that works beautifully and one that reads as murky or cold is often a single undertone that isn't visible on a 2cm paint chip.
AI paint visualisation solves this by showing the colour at full scale, in your specific space, with your actual lighting. You make the decision on real evidence rather than extrapolation.

Designer Notes on Medium Gray
Medium gray's best work today is exterior — as body colour with white trim and black windows it modernizes any builder facade. Inside, it shines on islands and built-ins rather than walls.
