For the white, going with the factory Frost White for the
major color is mainly practical. I like white cars, and it's
a decent off-white.

There are very few actual grays (greys) out there; I'm looking
for a "light battleship gray" a true neutral. Few cars ever
got that color; it's very new (or very old, re-new-ed "-)
Audi and a Monte Carlo are the only ones I've seen. There are
many off-whites and pale colors, but they all tend towards the
brown or yellow -- nearly none trend towards bluish (they end
up looking "baby blue" if too much blue).

I will end up looking at paint chips though for the "gray". Good
suggestion to look under "whites" though.

I so totally hate cold weather, you cannot imagine. I dug fence
posts in Tuscon in July; that's very hard, but freezing temps
I cannot get used to. But a free trip is a free trip... last
time something like this happened it was Netherlands in
November! Sheesh! Why not June?!
