About this colour

This shade reads as a balanced grey with a slight coolness, but it is not hard or icy; the #8C8C91 value gives it enough softness to stay usable across a room. On a wall, it holds its colour well and absorbs more light than it reflects, so it can feel grounded and calm rather than airy. In north-facing light it will look cooler and a touch steelier, bringing out its blue-grey side. In south-facing light the warmth of the sun lifts it and shows a gentler, fuller grey that sits neatly beside walnut, oak, painted timber, and both pale and charcoal upholstery.

How to use it

Use Arquerite on walls in a sitting room, study, or hallway where you want a restrained grey that lets furniture lead. It pairs well with painted skirting, dark woodwork, and upholstery in linen, deep blue, or muted green tones.

A calm, mid-grey wall colour that stays composed beside both warm wood and cooler tones.
