Neutral Groups
Our Neutral Groups are starting points for a myriad of possibilities. Bright and airy, elegant and sophisticated, timeless or contemporary, these groups are the perfect place to begin. Each shade in a group combines effortlessly with the others to produce a nuanced feel to any room.
Used in this way, they’re the perfect example of gradient layering, using different tones in the same colour family on the varying surfaces within a room. This helps give a sense of dimension and greater personality, wrapping the room in a cocoon of colour.
Choosing one of our six neutral groups is a wonderful way of achieving a considered and cohesive scheme in your home.
- Start by deciding which group you are most drawn to. By picking your favourite tones, you’ll create a welcoming retreat that naturally reflects your personality.
- Consider the light in your room. Would it benefit from warm undertones or would you like to embrace its cool light?
- Finally, think of the style of your property. If you’d like more of a heritage feel, opt for the softer Traditional, Timeless and Warm Neutrals. For a contemporary finish, try the subtle grey tones of our Contemporary, Relaxed and Architectural Neutrals.
Rather than simply brushing on a bright white gloss, remember your woodwork, ceiling, floors and doors too. The transformation of a room may start with the walls, but for a carefully balanced scheme try to think of the room as a whole.
Relaxed Neutrals
Regardless of architectural style or which direction your rooms face, this group creates easy to live with, harmonious schemes that feel understated yet welcoming.
Architectural Neutrals
Created to bring a strong architectural or modern industrial feel to a space, this group introduces an elegant minimal ambience into a room. Purposely cool, with a bluer undertone, and particularly impactful when combined with an accent of a stronger tone.
Contemporary Neutrals
For greys with an edge, the lilac undertones of this group offer a modern warmth, perfect if you’re trying to avoid anything too cool toned. They also act as an ideal foil to a broad range of other colours.
Timeless Neutrals
Reflecting tones of white in increasingly deeper shades, evenly balanced between warm and cool undertones, these neutrals are ideal to use with blues and greens. They’re also a superb complement to a bright colour accent in a room.
Warm Neutrals
When a room calls for a wonderfully cosy feel, the red base of this group is the perfect place to begin. They create ageless, understated schemes, and provide a soft contrast when paired with tones of pink and red.
Traditional Neutrals
These are complex neutrals that create rather sophisticated schemes, thanks to the grey-green tones. They make the colours feel like they’ve been in a room forever. Their strength is in their subtlety, pairing beautifully with muted greens and blues to give an air of tranquillity.
