How We Used SW Connected Gray Throughout an Entire Modern Home in Seattle

🌿 SW Connected Gray: A Full Home Tour Using This Trending Paint Color

How a modern three-home community in Seattle brings this sophisticated shade to life.

Sherwin-Williams Connected Gray (SW 6165) has become one of the most versatile, design-forward neutrals in modern homes. Its soft green-gray undertone creates a calming, organic look—and in The Maples on 15th, we used it intentionally throughout the single-family home to unify each space with warmth, depth, and elevated PNW style.

Below, we’re walking room-by-room through how Connected Gray transforms cabinetry, built-ins, and accent moments throughout the home.

A Kitchen Anchored in Calm, Modern Neutrals

In the kitchen, Connected Gray takes center stage on the upper cabinetry, offering a soft contrast to warm white oak lowers and a crisp quartz waterfall island. The tone shifts beautifully throughout the day—reading cooler in morning light and warm, earthy, and grounded in the afternoon.

Paired with matte white backsplash windows, minimalist pendants, and open-concept dining, this palette feels elevated yet inviting.

Entryway Built-Ins That Ground the Home

As you step inside, the custom built-in bench painted in Connected Gray immediately sets the tone. The warm wood niche frames the cabinetry and adds contrast, texture, and an inviting sense of calm.

This moment shows why Connected Gray works so well in modern homes—it’s neutral, but not flat. Soft, moody, and natural. Balanced by white walls and oversized windows, the entry sets the palette for everything to follow.

Connected Gray in the Heart of the Home

This moment shows why Connected Gray works so well in modern homes—it’s neutral without being flat. Balanced by white walls and oversized windows, the entryway creates a soft, organic palette for the entire first floor.

Stepping further inside…

A Soft, Moody Moment in the Built-In Bar

One of our favorite applications of Connected Gray is the arched built-in bar. The curved drywall niche, quartz countertop, and matte hardware create an architectural focal point. In this smaller, more intimate space, the color shifts slightly moodier, offering depth without overwhelming the room.

A Calm, Light-Filled Home Office

Even in smaller spaces like the dedicated office, Connected Gray offers a sophisticated backdrop without weighing the room down. Paired with natural light, greenery, and warm wood floors, it creates an ideal work-from-home environment—calm, uncluttered, and visually timeless.

Indoor-Outdoor Living That Complements the Palette

The home’s exterior continues the warm minimalist palette—clean sightlines, natural materials, and the layered textures that define modern PNW living. The Maple Leaf neighborhood offers tree-lined streets, vibrant seasonal color, and connected walkability, all echoing the organic tones of Connected Gray inside.
