Colour Matching
The colour you choose to decorate your home with has the power to affect your well-being and can have a dramatic impact on the atmosphere of a space. Grey is typically associated with safety, security and intelligence, making it ideal for a living room or home office. It’s also considered to be calming and soothing, so it’s perfect for a child’s bedroom, too.
From soft, light hues like pewter and ash, to charcoal and graphite shades, a grey palette can effortlessly transform any area. Yet choosing the right tones to complement grey can sometimes be tricky. Ahead, find the five colour combinations you just can’t go wrong with.
What better way to enhance the beauty of grey than with this vibrant jewel tone? Emerald green provides a powerful grounding effect and it's versatile enough to pair with nearly any neutral, including grey. With its fresh blue undertones, try our luxurious Glasshouse paint on walls to energise and add depth to a grey-toned space.
Teaming burnt saffron – a bold yet earthy shade of yellow – with grey will bring a touch of spice to any modern home. These two colours contrast beautifully to create a distinctive, lively aesthetic in a bedroom, dining area or living room. To get the look, go for our Burnt Saffron paint.
Who says a grey and pastel colour combination can’t wow? Mixing a soft palette of light pastel blues with grey will introduce a fresh feel to an interior. Adding subtle splashes of chalky blue to a grey colour scheme prevents the design from feeling monotonous. Opt for a light, cool-toned grey as the neutral backdrop and decorate other walls with our Bluebird paint.
