In cool daylight, it may look more gray. At night, lamps bring out the taupe. Pair it with off-white trim and medium wood. Sample beside existing cabinets, since bright white millwork can make it seem dingy.

Michigan Avenue in Different Light
Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV
46.0LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
