The Endless Variety of Grey Tones in Decoration

The World of Grey

Grey is a seemingly simple but extremely complex colour. Its dozens of undertones spread into warm, cool, purple-toned, green-toned, blue-toned and red-toned sub-palettes.

Cool Grey: Carries a blue or purple undertone. Gives a modern, sterile feel. It can look very cold in north-facing rooms.

Warm Grey: Carries a yellow or red undertone. Greige (a grey-beige mix) is the most popular example of this category. It works in almost any space.

Charcoal: Deep and masculine. Provides a dramatic effect on a feature wall and floor covering.
