A stony grey green
A stony neutral, this traditional grey green was originally used as a colour name in the 9th century - an ancient name for a timeless colour. The subtle green base of our Light Gray brings an unsurpassed depth of colour when used on walls. It is the perfect accent for all our Traditional Neutrals, used on furniture and joinery in many Off-White rooms alongside Old White. It can also be combined with Stiffkey Blue to create a very relaxed, almost mismatched feel.
Recommended Primer & Undercoat: Mid Tones
Complementary white: Slipper Satin

Elegant and adaptable to different places
We used Light Gray on our downstairs hall walls through to the upstairs landing combined with lime white above the dado or picture rails. This colour combination works in perfect harmony and the colours produce a wonderful spectrum of shades depending on time of day or part of the house - so it gives the impression you have used more than two colours.Never too dark and not an industrial grey. A perfect backdrop for contemporary art and antique mirros. We loved it so much we painted our living room in the same colourways but with shaded white on the wood panelling below the dado - again, very elegant but with warm undertones. Perfect application too.

Perfect !!!!!
Light gray on my main wall of living room... delighted with result !
Slightly lighter Old White on other three walls: Can't see me ever wanting to change this... a beautiful outcome.
Has a slightly green tinge, which compliments perfectly the Cooking Apple Green in adjoining kitchen. Changing at each hour of day - and with the sunlight, but always pleasing.
Coverage as with most of F & B, is excellent!!! A little goes a long way, justifying the high cost. Estate emulsion I find much easier to paint with and no messy drips.
Light Gray was chosen to cover my original (awful drab) choice of Mouses Back.
