Looking for basic gray and teal MAC/MUFE shades

[SpringDancer]

I am finally ready to take the plunge into grays and teals ;-)

Can you recommend a good basic gray and a good basic teal? I want to get just one of each, preferrably MAC's (still have room in my pallette).

Also, I would like shades I can combine with the MAC shadows I already own, which are:
All That Glitters
Shale
Star Violet
Nocturnelle
Blackberry
Falling Star
Trax
Expensive Pink
Jest
Sable
Woodwinked
Satin Taupe
Neutral Pink
Modest Tone
Evening Aura
Magnetic Fields
Humid
Sumptuous Olive
Fiction
Hey
Howzat
Vanilla
Pink Venus
Amber Lights
Club

BTW, I'm NC20m brown hair and eyes.

I'd appreciate any help! Thanks!

I love Copperplate. It's a matte2 grey with a tinge of plum.

I really like Gulf Stream from the Cool Heat collection. How about pigments? Give Teal a try! As far as greys, I reallllly like Soot, it is one of the best greys IMO.

When I got Fafi quad 1, the MA told me that Howzat was quite similar to Knight Divine. Do you think they're different enough to own both?

They are different on me too! If nothing else, they give different looks because they are different finishes.

For grays, I'd recommend Silver Ring or Knight Divine.
Just depends on whether you want something lighter or darker.
For teals, I like Shimmermoss and Gulf Stream.
I think you could easily combine any of these shades to go with your current collection.
