About this colour

This shade reads as a warm greige with enough beige to feel welcoming and enough grey to stay composed. Its hex value, #C5BEAE, gives it a light-to-mid depth that lifts a room gently without turning stark, so it can soften white trim or sit quietly against deeper timber. In north-facing light it can lean a little cooler and more stone-like, while in south-facing rooms the beige warmth comes forward and the colour feels smoother and fuller. It works well on walls where you want a calm backdrop for natural oak, walnut, or painted joinery, and it pairs easily with linen, tobacco, moss, and muted blue upholstery colours. In Waterbased Eggshell it would suit woodwork and cabinetry; in Active Emulsion it gives walls a settled, balanced finish.

How to use it

Use Westminster in sitting rooms, hallways, or bedrooms where a calm neutral is needed beside upholstered chairs, pale curtains, or darker wood furniture. It is especially effective with off-white joinery, oak floors, and classic printed or plain fabrics in muted greens, blues, and taupes.

A calm warm grey-beige that brings a room together without feeling heavy.

Westminster 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.
