Paint Pallettes from Domino Mag

Domino Magazine has a great paint pallette gallery on thier website here. I found myself being drawn mostly to the pale color pallettes with grays. Gray is usually known as a sad, dreary color but I think if its done right like in the images below, and in a room with windows to let in some natural light, it can be calming or elegant looking.
I know its not a typical color for a dining room but I'm liking the idea of a pale gray dining room with white trim. Any thoughts?

Here are my favorite pallettes from the Domino gallery:
