About this colour

At #C8C9CE, this shade reads as a pale, cool grey with a slight blue cast, so it lifts a room without feeling white. In north-facing light it can look a touch more metallic and restrained, while in south-facing rooms the warmth of the sun softens it into a calmer, gentler grey. On walls it gives a clear backdrop that does not compete with pattern, and on woodwork it feels crisp without turning stark. It sits well beside deeper charcoal, muted navy, chalky white and upholstery in linen, mohair or wool tones. In Acrylic Eggshell, Elite Emulsion and True Matt, it keeps the same balanced note across walls and joinery.

How to use it

Use Half Quartz Grey in a sitting room, hallway or bedroom where you want a pale grey that stays composed beside patterned curtains and upholstered pieces. It works especially well with painted joinery, natural oak, walnut and muted textiles in silver, ink, sage or taupe.

A pale cool grey that keeps a room feeling clear and calm.

Half Quartz 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.
