Most obvious Blues, under certain light conditions, do appear Gray. A Lighter Shade of Blue, in dim light may indeed appear Gray and vice versa, Gray can appear Blue...

Unfortunately, your interior designer friend is not correct according to physics. What most consider "blue" is light in the range of 450–495nm in wavelength.

Pure gray is a shade between black and white and has no color associated, it's achromatic. It's created on an RGB device by mixing equal amounts of red, green, and blue. It is possible to adjust the gray of course. Some blue added creates a "cold" gray, or add some red to create a "warm" gray.
