Our carefully curated palette of 132 shades, with an intriguing story behind each colour name, will help you to choose colours you love for your home.
Why Choose Grey?
Grey is impressively versatile. Warm or cool, light or dark, there is a shade to suit every style. You’ll find grey palette in classic, countryside cottages and industrial, contemporary lofts alike. Grey is beautiful as the star of a colour scheme, or in a supporting role when paired with bolder, brighter shades.

Our Signature Grey Paint Colours
Our greys are rich, complex and utterly irresistible. With an assortment of beautiful undertones, each grey in our signature palette has a particular feel, so you can create different moods: cosy or fresh, protective or energising.
Think every grey is the same? Think again. From deep Down Pipe to soft Ammonite, grey spans the spectrum from dark to light. Some greys are crisp and cool, like Dimpse, Blackened and Plummet, while others are warm and inviting, such as Charleston Gray, Dove Tale and Mole’s Breath. Greys with green undertones, such as Mizzle, Old White and French Gray bring a familiar, timeless touch.

How to Create a Grey Colour Scheme
Choosing colours is half the joy — and half the challenge — of decorating. And with such an array of beautiful greys to choose from, it can be tough to know where to begin. If you simply can’t choose one, you can always layer several shades of grey together for a relaxed, easy-going and effortlessly versatile scheme. This approach works wonderfully for spaces like living rooms that you spend a lot of time in and may want to refresh more often, as the understated scheme will sit beautifully alongside an array of furnishings, accent colours and artwork, so you can simply change these instead of completely repainting.
To help you with your transformation, we asked our in-house experts Joa Studholme and Patrick O’Donnell for three of their favourite grey scheme suggestions.
