Default What is your Go-To Gray (Grey) Background Fabric?

Hi - I'm wondering if you could share what your favorite gray background favorite is. I normally use Kona White but am making something with a gray background. I bought Art Gallery Mystic Grey. I like it but am just wondering if you all have a "go to" gray background fabric. Thanks for all your input!

I love Moda Grunge fabric. They have several shades of gray.

My favorite greys are the Kona Cotton greys. I really love silver and graphite, of course my preference may change with the newest couple Kaufman just added.

I've noticed that gray is getting really popular in decorating as well. My sister is up on all the latest trends and she just did a lot of gray in her condo.
I bought a beautiful layer cake with grays to make her something. Haven't worked with that color yet.

I use the silver color from Connecting Threads Quilters Candy. It blends well with all my fabric.

Northcott has several greys in the Toscanna line. I like the lightest silver one for backgrounds and the darker greys are great for QOV's.

I buy most of my fabrics at walmart and hobby lobby. Whatever they have that I like I buy. Not bought any yet, I am working with scraps.

For a light grey, I really love Bella Solids Zen Gray. I've also used Cotton Supreme Silver which is a little bit darker. Kona Ash is a nice medium gray.

I purchase Moda Bella Solids Gray (9900 83) by the bolt. Yes, gray is really becoming popular so I've used it as a background fabric more than white in my latest quilts.
