Nuances of the colour grey

Shades of grey impress with their diversity. Although they are always a mixture of black and white, they can have great different nuances. This makes them the perfect combination colour. The colour grey is always timeless and creates stylish rooms with character. Discover our shades of grey now and find the perfect colour for your home

Grey comes in many different shades: cool grey tones contain more blue pigments, such as Grey with Blue from the Just paint Collection. Greenish greys have more green pigments and a cooler character, such as Grey with Green or Silence Grey from the CosyColours chalk paints. Warm greys have a warm undertone thanks to umber and brown pigments. Grey with Linen or Silk Grey with its umber components and Quiet Moments Grey with its warm, brown pigments are great examples. Neutral grey tones such as our Grey with Grey contain little or no pigments other than black and white. They are the easiest to combine and the grey colour spectrum can range from light to dark, covering all shades from tinted white to lightened black. The selection of grey colour shades is therefore very extensive

Effect of grey as a colour on the wall

Depending on how you want the colour to look on your walls, you can choose between warm and cool shades of grey. The warm colour scheme is particularly suitable for creating a cosy, homely feel in a room. If, on the other hand, you like it modern and love industrial chic, it's best to go for a cooler shade of grey

Grey: perfect for these rooms

Due to the different orientations of grey tones, the colour is suitable for almost all rooms and furnishings in your home. The colour works particularly well in, for example

• Kitchen
• Living room
• Hallway
• Bedroom

A grey-painted kitchen provides a perfect backdrop for accessories in different tones and trend colours. If you choose a cooler tone, such as a blue-grey wall paint, your kitchen will have a modern touch. A warmer tone, such as a warm light grey, creates a cosy atmosphere

In your living room, you can create a sophisticated ambience with a light, warm grey wall paint. But a single accent wall with a dark grey paint can also create a great feeling of living

In the hallway, a wall painted light grey looks inviting without being too overpowering. Wall paints in grey-green have a similar effect. There are no open doors leading into rooms of a different colour to get in the way.

And a bedroom with grey, perhaps even dark grey wall paint has a calming effect, so you can relax in the evening. Here too, painting just one wall - the one behind the bed, for example - a dark grey has a great effect.

Tips for the elegant trend colour grey

Grey wall paint can really be used anywhere. Paint your walls in shades of grey if you like furniture and decorations in bold colours. This will make all other colours shine! Accessories in different colours also go fantastically well with grey walls and become eye-catchers. So you can redesign your rooms again and again with colourful decorations without much effort

If, on the other hand, you prefer colourful walls, simply paint your furniture grey. This will accentuate your wall paints. Large and bulky furniture fades into the background, especially if it is painted in light shades of grey

Living styles and trends in grey

Grey plays a role in various living styles. For example, grey is a typical colour for a purist, minimalist style. Alongside natural tones and white, this colour is also an essential style element in Scandi chic. Warm shades of grey tend to dominate here.

In the industrial style, which is inspired by industrial elements, lofts and factory halls, the cooler shades of grey are used not only on the wall, but also on furniture and decorative elements. Thanks to its diverse colour nuances, the trend colour grey is suitable as the basis for any interior design style.

Grey as an accent colour

The dark, warm Comfort Grey and the near-black shade of Secret Grey from the CosyColours chalk paints are fantastic colour shades for creating a single accent wall. The warm Grey & Mindful from the LittlePomp children's collection is also perfect as a back wall that sets the scene for all kinds of art

If you prefer a more calm and subtle overall look, combine your grey accent wall with a beige wall paint. Paint the entrance area a light grey and use a matching beige shade for your living room walls to create the perfect contrast. For a warm, cosy atmosphere, you can then choose the warm grey with peat from our extensive colour scheme as an accent colour for your bedroom

Combine grey colour skilfully

As grey is very adaptable, you can really combine anything with it. It lets your chosen combination colour take the lead and takes a back seat. Make sure that the combination colour has a similar undertone to the chosen grey

There are no limits to your ideas: combine a dark grey such as Grey with Black with a bright tone such as Red with Coral. Grey with Warmth and White with Character are also an elegant combination. When it comes to wall design, you will realise that there are countless possibilities that will make your rooms shine in new splendour

Grey can be combined with all types of metal and wood and there is no colour shade that doesn't go with grey. When combining and furnishing, pay attention to whether you are using a warm or cool grey. The combined colour should be the same. Gold or brass-coloured elements in lamps and picture frames go particularly well with a grey wall in the living room. They create an exciting contrast and look very classy together with grey. Furniture in grey and metal also looks extremely elegant
