I wish I had a picture to show you, but the paint is still sitting in the garage. We got agreeable gray from Sherwin Williams. Trying Googling it, you get lots of pics of rooms with that color.

I have a few. What kind of undertones are you look for? Straight gray gray with no undertones? Gray with blue undertones? Gray with green undertones? Gray with lilac/purple undertones? These dang undertones is what makes picking gray paint so hard!

sherwin williams requisite gray is in our foyer, living room, guest room & bath and master bath! I like it! It looks best with bright lights (we have yellowish lights in our living room, vs the bright light in the foyer bump pic)

We used Behr Dolphin Fin in our living room. This isn't the best lighting, but it kind of gives you an idea...

IIRC, the colour we painted DD's nursery is called Trout Gray (Benjamin Moore). It's pretty dark. I love it!
It's quite hard to get a photo that shows it true to how it looks IRL, but this is the best one I have on my iPad:

Ours is Valspar Gravity. It is gray but can also look blue or purple depending on the light. We like it!
Sorry about the bad picture!

We have BM revere pewter in our living room and love it. Definitely more or a griege to me. Also just didn't BM Stonington grey in LO's room and the blue undertones really pop. So it's a nice color if you like the blue. I unfortunately don't, so I'm back to the drawing board for a warmer grey or one without no undertones.
@littleredhairedgrl: I picked up a swatch of it today, now you're making me wish I got a sample! I held off because it was $7.

@jodyblair: The light fixtures are all left from the old owners, I am going to change all of them except that one. I think I'll just change the lamp shades to add a little color.
