Great Grey (1111703): Where and How to Use It

A deep cool neutral from Dulux, Great Grey (1111703) is a deep tone that's best saved for a feature wall rather than the whole room. With its soft cool undertone, it looks most natural alongside cool whites and greys.

Best Spaces for Great Grey

• Feature and accent walls: one wall in a bold shade gives a room a strong focal point.
• Open-plan and living spaces: a cool neutral is an easy, modern backdrop for any room.
• The wall behind a bed: a deep shade on the headboard wall gives a calm, hotel-like feel.
• Home theatres and TV rooms: deep colours cut screen glare and make the space feel immersive.

What Goes With Great Grey

Planning colours across the home? Treat Great Grey as a feature against paler walls and add:

• Crisp white - for a clean, layered look.
• Charcoal or black - for contrast on details.
• Soft blue or sage - for a hint of colour.

Threading one pairing from space to space keeps everything looking deliberate.

Light and the Right Finish

In different light: Great Grey shows its depth in good light but can flatten in a dim room, so keep it where light is strong.

Best finish: A flat matt finish shows it at its richest and suits feature walls; use a washable soft-sheen in kitchens and bathrooms.

Before You Start

Check a tester patch morning and evening, as cool neutral shifts with the light in a room. Deep colours read best with two coats over a tinted basecoat.
