Shades of grey

Grey tones are captivating in their versatility. Although they are always a blend of black and white, they can possess wonderful, varied nuances. This makes them the perfect companion colour. The colour grey is always timeless and creates stylish spaces with character. Discover our grey shades now and find the perfect colour for your home.

Grey paint from cool to warm

Cool grey shades contain more blue pigments, such as Grey with Blue from the Just Paint collection. Greenish grey tones have more green pigments and also have a rather cool character, such as Grey with Green or Silence Grey from the CosyColours chalk paints. Warm grey shades gain a warm undertone through umber and brown pigments. Grey with Linen or Silk Grey with its umber components and Grey with Granite with its warm, brown pigments are great examples. Neutral grey tones such as our Grey with Grey or Grey with Platinum contain few or no pigments other than black and white. They are the easiest to combine. Furthermore, the grey colour spectrum can range from light to dark and cover every shade from tinted white to brightened black. The selection of grey tones is therefore very extensive.

Grey: Perfect for these rooms

Due to the different directions grey shades can take, this colour is suitable for almost every room and furnishing style in your home. The colour is particularly effective in, for example, the:

• Kitchen
• Living room
• Hallway
• Bedroom

A grey-painted kitchen offers a perfect background for accessories in various tones and trend colours. If you choose a cooler shade, like a blue-grey wall paint, your kitchen will get a modern touch. A warmer tone, such as a warm light grey, creates a cosy atmosphere.

In your living room, you can create a refined ambience with a light, warm grey as your wall paint. But even a single accent wall with a dark grey coat of paint can create a great sense of comfort.

In the hallway, a light grey wall looks inviting without being too intrusive. Wall paint in grey-green has a similar effect. You won't even be bothered by open doors leading into rooms with different colours.

And a bedroom with grey, perhaps even dark grey wall paint, has a calming effect, helping you to unwind well in the evening. Here, too, it has a great impact to paint just one wall—for instance, the one behind the bed—in a dark shade.

Tips for the elegant trend colour grey

Grey wall paint can really be used anywhere. Paint your walls in grey tones if you like furniture and decoration in bold colours. This lets all other colours shine! Accessories in various colours also look fantastic against grey walls and become real eye-catchers. This way, you can refresh your rooms with colourful decor time and again without much effort.

If, on the other hand, you prefer colourful walls, simply paint your furniture in grey. This way, your wall colour is emphasised. Large and bulky furniture recedes into the background, especially when painted in light grey shades.

Interior styles and trends in grey

Grey plays a roller in various interior styles. For example, grey is a typical colour for a purist, minimalist style. Here, straightforwardness and reduction are at the forefront. This colour is also an essential style element in the Scandi Style, alongside natural tones and white. In this case, warm grey nuances tend to dominate.

In the Industrial Style, which is inspired by industrial elements, lofts, and factory halls, cooler grey shades—like Grey with Concrete—are used not only on walls but also on furniture and decorative elements. Thanks to its diverse colour nuances, the trend colour grey is suitable as a foundation for any interior style.

Expertly combining the colour grey

Because grey is so adaptable, you can combine it with truly anything. It lets your chosen companion colour take centre stage and gracefully takes a back seat. When choosing a companion colour, ensure it has a similar undertone to the grey you have chosen.

There are no limits to your ideas: combine a dark grey like Grey with Black with a vibrant tone, such as Red with Coral. Grey with Warmth and White with Character are also a sophisticated combination. In your wall design, you will notice that there are countless possibilities to make your rooms shine in new splendour.

You can combine grey with all metals and wood types. There is no 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 have the same character. For a grey wall in the living room, golden or brass-coloured elements on lamps and picture frames work particularly well as decoration. They create an exciting contrast and look very elegant when paired with grey. Furniture in grey and metal also looks extremely sophisticated.

Grey as a statement: How to bring timeless elegance into your home

From walls to tiles: grey brings peace and structure to every room. Our project guide offers an overview for your design. Whether you are planning a cosy oasis of well-being or a modern design statement—you will find the inspiration and tips here to successfully implement your grey project.

Grey wall paint: Structure and style for every room

Depending on how you want the colour to affect your walls, you can choose between warm and cool grey tones. For a cosy, homely feeling in a room, the warm colour samples are particularly suitable. If, on the other hand, you like it modern and love industrial chic, it is best to go for a cooler grey tone.

Wall paint in grey is the ultimate foundation for modern wall design. While cool blue-grey creates clarity, warm tones like Grey with Morning Dew provide a sense of security. Our matte wall paints adhere excellently to plaster and wallpaper, are highly pigmented, and offer excellent coverage for a uniform result in houses and apartments.

The dark, warm Grey with Peat and the nearly-black tone Grey with Black are fantastic shades for designing a single accent wall. The warm Grau & Achtsam from the LittlePomp children's collection also works wonderfully as a backdrop, making art of all kinds look fantastic.

If you prefer things to be calm and subtle overall, combine your grey accent wall with a beige wall paint. Paint the entrance area with a light grey and use a matching beige tone for your living room walls to create the perfect contrast. For a warm, cosy atmosphere, you can subsequently choose the warm Grey with Brown as an accent colour from our extensive colour samples for your bedroom.

Grey tile paint: Modern design without the building site mess

With tile paint in grey, you can give your bathroom or kitchen a high-quality upgrade. Dark anthracite in particular, such as our Black with Slate, looks extremely elegant and is also resistant to everyday wear and tear. Perhaps you could combine your grey tile paint with a sunny yellow on the ceiling? This brings a morning mood into the room.

Our Easy Eggshell! is perfect for your bathroom tiles. After a thorough cleaning and primer with To Bond & Block, this paint adheres without any sanding at all!

Grey furniture paint: Effortlessly upgrading character pieces

Our furniture paint in grey is ideal for visually toning down bulky furniture or giving individual pieces a modern expression. Thanks to their high pigmentation, our paints adhere to almost any surface without tedious sanding. In some cases—such as on smooth IKEA furniture or on bleeding wood—a primer with To Bond & Block is necessary. Choose your grey furniture paint shade and transform your furnishings into timeless design objects.

Grey wood paint: Japandi flair and long-lasting protection

Grey wood paint, such as our Grey with Seasalt, is the heart of the minimalist Japandi Style, as it combines the natural warmth of wood with cool, Nordic elegance. Wood paint in grey is perfect for a tidy, stylish look in the hallway or study.

The colour grey is also popular for outdoor use to provide a point of calm in a colourful environment. Our outdoor paints offer a wide selection of grey wood paint. As a particularly weather-resistant and UV-resistant paint for your garden furniture, garden shed, or balcony seating area, our Balcony & Garden Paint is perfect for you. There are 2 elegant grey tones in this collection.

Grey chalk paint: Velvety depth for a calm home

For a particularly soft, powdery finish, chalk paint in grey is the ideal choice. It gives rooms instant tranquillity and looks especially elegant when combined with natural materials. It is the perfect colour choice for anyone looking for an unexcited, high-quality aesthetic.
