Scotch Grey

2026 Paint PaintSAP1123-74

Scotch Grey is a restrained, mid-light grey from Sanderson’s 2026 Paint range. It sits neatly between chalk and stone, with just enough softness to feel settled rather than stark.

About this colour

This shade reads as a cool grey with a quiet, slightly mineral look, and #C4C6C5 keeps it light enough to lift a wall without going pale. In north-facing rooms it can turn a touch quieter and more silvery, so it suits spaces that need calm rather than warmth. In south-facing light it stays clean and balanced, showing its neutral side without going blue. It sits well beside crisp whites, pale oak, walnut, and upholstered pieces in deeper greys, navy, or soft green.

How to use it

Scotch Grey works well in sitting rooms, bedrooms, and studies where a calm wall colour is needed behind books, curtains, or painted joinery. It is especially good with white woodwork, ash, oak, and understated upholstery in tweed, linen-look neutrals, or muted pattern.

A cool, balanced grey that stays easy to live with on the wall.

Scotch 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.
