I have spent years watching how greige shades shift once the sun moves across a room and hits different walls.
Undertones become more obvious when the paint sits beside trim or next to cabinets and flooring.
I tend to favor shades that stay steady rather than those that turn unexpectedly pink or green in certain lights.
Samples on the wall reveal what a photo never shows.
It pays to check a few options in the actual space before committing.
