I would stay with the taupe.  I would only use a gray if my eyebrows were a very light gray.

I would go to either Ulta or Sephora to get matched. The other day I was in Sephora and was interested in the Urban Decay Brow Blade. She matched me with a color that if I had ordered online would not have chosen. It was a perfect match though.

@WildDunes  I would try the gray eyebrow color and see how it looks compare to your current one and then make a decision.  The Q takes returns within 30 day; Nordstrom has free shpg and free returns and you can return something that does not work out for you.  I really feel if you compare the two eyebrow shades you will be satisfied.  Good luck.

My hair is salt & pepper - mostly salt.  The pepper is still dark brown/black.  I apply a very dark brown by Anastasia.  It comes in a duo, but I'm used the 1/2 that was a lighter brown.  Always took my eyebrown brush and stroked across both shades before applying.  A lighter shade would fade me out and be too much of a contrast with my hair color.

I bought this today at Ulta. The lady said #2 would work for me.

To me, your eyebrow color should also compliment your complexion.  I was also a fair skinned blonde who turned silver gray.  I continue to use the same light taupe eyebrow pencil I've always used -- CG taupe, 2 in a package.   I tried other shades from gray to brown as my hair color was changing, but the taupe pencil always looked best on me.

 

I had to tweak a few of my makeup color choices as my hair changed color, but stuck with the CG taupe.

Thanks to all of you who replied. Appreciate your help so much. I do think that for me, staying with the taupe is the best. Thinking that the gray would age me - but I'm going to try it as some of you suggested.
