About this colour

On a wall, Cool Arbour sits quietly without feeling flat, because its warm undertone keeps the colour grounded and approachable. In north-facing light it can read slightly cooler and more muted, bringing out its stone-grey side. In south-facing rooms it takes on a gentler warmth and feels more rounded, with the green-brown notes becoming easier to see. It works well beside pale oak, smoked timber and darker painted woodwork, and it gives a steady background to both plain weaves and patterned upholstery in natural shades.

How to use it

This shade suits sitting rooms, halls and studies where you want the walls to feel composed without turning cold. It pairs well with walnut, oak and muted upholstery in sage, taupe, charcoal or faded blue.

A steady grey with warmth, Cool Arbour gives a room a calm, grounded look.
