Colours That Pair With Mute Grey

Mute Grey slots into a wider scheme as a flexible base or accent. Reliable pairings:

  • Soft blush or mustard - a warm accent.
  • Crisp white - keeps it sharp and modern.

Repeating a pairing across connected spaces ties the home together.

Lighting & Finish

Finish: Matte in living rooms and bedrooms for a soft, premium feel; washable satin in kitchens, bathrooms and hallways.

Before You Paint

Try a sample pot on more than one wall before deciding, as grey shades can look quite different in morning and evening light. Two coats over a tinted primer give the cleanest, most even result.
