The house has discontinued this one. We are keeping the page so the link still works, but we can no longer order it. There are alternatives below, and if you have a cutting or a photograph we will help you match it.

Aubusson is a pared-back grey-green with a cool, settled feel and a quietly tailored look. In Zoffany’s 2026 Paint range, it sits between stone and sage without tipping strongly into either.

About this colour

At #9B9D9C, Aubusson reads as a muted grey-green with a slight blue cast, so it feels cooler than a true sage and softer than a clean grey. It lifts a little in bright light but keeps enough depth to avoid looking flat, making it especially useful on walls where you want colour without obvious contrast. In a north-facing room it will feel cooler and more mineral, with the green-grey side becoming more pronounced. In south-facing light it warms gently and looks smoother, which gives it an easy backdrop beside natural oak, dark walnut, pale linen tones and restrained pattern in upholstery. In Acrylic Eggshell, Elite Emulsion or True Matt, it works well on joinery or full walls where a measured, refined colour is needed.

How to use it

Aubusson suits living rooms, studies and hallways where a calm, composed wall colour is needed beside timber furniture or tailored upholstery. It also sits neatly with off-white woodwork, aged brass details and greys, greens or neutrals in nearby curtains and seating.

Aubusson gives a wall a quiet grey-green cast that feels understated and grown-up.

Aubusson 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.
