About this colour

At #E5E4E2, Crystal Grey reads as a very light grey with a gentle pearl-like coolness, more airy than dense. It reflects plenty of light without turning stark, so it helps walls feel open while still keeping a little colour present. In north-facing rooms it can edge slightly cooler and more shadowed, giving a neat, restrained look. In south-facing light it warms just enough to feel softer and more welcoming, while staying calm rather than creamy. It works well beside chalky whites, pale oak, smoked timber and fabrics in slate, mist, flax and muted blue.

How to use it

This shade suits living rooms, bedrooms and hallways where a pale neutral wall is needed without going beige. It pairs neatly with painted joinery, light woodwork and upholstery in cooler greys, indigo, sage or oatmeal.

A very light grey that keeps rooms feeling clear and composed.
