About this colour

At #BFBFBF, Kent Grey reads as a true neutral grey with a slight softness, so it feels cleaner than a taupe and less hard than a charcoal. In north-facing rooms it can look a little cooler and more reserved, while in south-facing light it holds its balance and appears gently warmer and more open. On walls, Active Emulsion gives it a smooth, even presence, and Waterbased Eggshell brings the same colour to woodwork with a quieter sheen. It sits well beside pale oak, painted trim in crisp white, and upholstery in stone, ink blue, moss green, or deep burgundy.

How to use it

Use Kent Grey in sitting rooms, hallways, and studies where you want a steady colour that works across wall and joinery. It pairs neatly with walnut furniture, linen-look curtains, and upholstery in muted pattern or plain wool tones.

A calm mid grey like this gives a room shape without taking over.

Kent Grey is a wall colour, so these are the cloths that sit against it: one of them on the curtains, the paint behind. Mixed across the houses we hold, which is the part a single supplier's book cannot do.
