Mushroom Grey Light

2026 Paint PaintSAP1097-45

Mushroom Grey Light is a soft, warm grey with a beige cast, balanced enough to sit quietly across a room. In Sanderson’s 2026 Paint range, it reads as a light neutral rather than a true grey.

About this colour

This shade sits in the pale end of the spectrum, so it lifts light well without looking stark, and the #DACABB colour value gives it a gentle mushroom warmth. In north-facing rooms it can turn slightly more taupe and calm, while in south-facing light it looks lighter, clearer and a little more creamy. On walls it gives a steady backdrop that stays close to the colours around it, whether beside natural woodwork, painted joinery or upholstered pieces in linen, wool or velvet. In Active Emulsion it suits main walls, while Waterbased Eggshell gives the same tone a neater finish for woodwork and trim.

How to use it

It works well in sitting rooms, bedrooms and hallways where you want a quiet neutral that does not feel cold. Pair it with painted skirting, oak, walnut or upholstered furniture in muted greens, soft blues or terracotta tones.

A warm pale grey like this makes a room feel settled and light without going chalky.

Mushroom Grey Light 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.
