About this colour

At #5A5F55, Pompeian Grey reads as a restrained green-grey with earthy undertones and a mid-to-dark weight that absorbs a fair amount of light. In north-facing rooms it can feel cooler and more slate-like, with the green softened back and the grey brought forward. In south-facing light it warms slightly and the olive note becomes more apparent, stopping it from feeling flat. It works well beside pale oak, dark walnut, aged brass, and linens or woollens in stone, taupe, ochre, and muted sage.

How to use it

It suits studies, hallways, and sitting rooms where you want a calm backdrop with some depth on the wall or on joinery. It is especially strong beside natural woodwork, painted skirting, and upholstery in warm neutrals or soft mossy greens.

A calm green-grey on the wall that feels deeper in low light and softer in sun.
