About this colour

This shade reads as a gentle warm grey, with enough beige in it to keep it from looking blue or cold. In the supplied tone, #C9C0BA, it reflects light softly and can make a room feel settled rather than bright. In a north-facing room it will lean a little cooler and more stone-like, while in south light the warmth comes forward and it feels fuller and more welcoming. It works well beside pale oak, walnut, chalky whites and upholstered pieces in oatmeal, taupe or muted green.

How to use it

Use it in sitting rooms, hallways or bedrooms where you want a restrained wall colour that still feels lived-in. It is also a good choice for woodwork beside natural timber, linen-covered seating and quiet patterned curtains.

A calm warm grey that brings softness to walls without dominating them.
