Neutral greys

These neutral grey interior paint shades, many found in historical properties, are derived from naturally occurring materials. Based on mixtures of black and white pigments, with other minor colours added for nuance, these stony colours create a perfect balance between warm and cool in many different lighting conditions. To add a warm undertone to your grey paint scheme, choose Fescue.

Dark greys

Using dark grey paints in smaller rooms can create a sense of intimacy, and an encompassing feel. If there is little natural light. For a calming and sophisticated feel, consider a deep rich grey such as Vulcan, which is an inherently strong, charismatic, charcoal grey with a little warmth retained. Vulcan offers the sophistication and boldness of a charcoal grey, but has the perfect mid-tone balance, ensuring it never makes a space feel cold or austere.

Cool Greys with a dash of blue

Popular for the decoration of urban apartments, this choice of grey-blue paint has been used in both classical and contemporary settings for many years and still remains popular. Ideal selections are Gauze or Shallows.

Warm greys with a hint of brown or yellow

The use of warm grey paints with a hint of umber or natural earth colour has always been the go-to choice for interior schemes. The ancient use of white tinted with soot and ochre to produce a pleasing, warm neutral has been a pillar of interior decoration since the Georgian era and remains the most popular grey choice today.

Choose Portland Stone or its derivatives for a warm grey scheme. These grey-brown paint shades are formulated with a complex mix of different pigments, making them ideal when other more strident colours are used in the room. Alternatively, for a less warm option, choose Flint.

Greys with a little green

Green-grey paint colours bring an air of natural beauty to your space. Reminiscent of stone or of the outdoors, these colours add both calm and solidity to any project. Choose Pearl Colour as pale colours combined with Serpentine for a sympathetic strong highlight to the same grey interior scheme.

Greys with a hint of pink

Choosing a grey paint with a hint of pink brings a touch of delicacy to a room, its warming and pleasant influence on a room is not overpowering and adds an air of cosiness. Choose Rubine Ashes or Dash of Soot, especially if you have accessories with the strong component of red as this will bring harmony and smoothness to a scheme.
