Greige

In the High-end Paint range, Greige reads as balanced and unfussy, built on with a soft warmth that suits low daylight and warm grey-beige pigment. It complements honed limestone, raw concrete, wire-brushed oak and matt-black ironmongery. Most Greige installs end up on snugs and reading rooms or home offices and studies. Pale and considered: the kind of shade that anchors a whole scheme. Owes a small debt to contemporary neutral, but doesn't ask the rest of the room to follow.
