7 For a cool modern look, using variations of gray marble is a sure bet. In this design by architect Patrizio Fradiani for a Bucktown house, the natural light that comes through the large window and passes through the translucent shower glass lends warmth to the space.

Dimmed illumination from crystal sconces and a pendant create a soft glow; a large mirror reflects the light, making the space shimmer.

I need to know the paint color and paint brand that was used in the Gray bathroom. I have been searching for the right shade/tone of gray.
