Getting to grips with grey

Grey has a terrible reputation for being dull and boring. But grey has another side to its character that is revealed when it is teamed-up with other colours

Alongside black, purples and metallics it is dramatic and luxurious

Used in combination with soft pastels it appears cheerful and feminine

With bright primary colours it has a funky, retro appearance

With this years hot colours Turquoise & Indigo it looks super stylish

In fact grey is the chameleon of the colour world because of its ability to soak up or reflect the colours it is surrounded by. There is a grey that will work well in relation to other colours for every décor scheme imaginable.

This ability to compliment any other colour is
the main reason why greys have been important throughout design history and have recently
been re-embraced by the worlds of Fashion
and Interiors.

Think about grey as a 'new neutral' and use it in the same way you would creams, white and beiges to provide a quiet base colour for a room and it will help to create a balanced scheme. grey is timeless and sophisticated.
