What are the best Grey colours

Got my new kitchen, which is very white

Now we are painting, Grey is the obvious choice. I want very mellow/soft

Can anyone suggest something that has worked
I am out of touch with grey colours

 

Tranquil retreat 1/4 strength

 

Lexicon full strength

 

I like drab grey, it gives the room a 1940s post-war gloom.

 

Dulux Ghosting half strength. We did our home with this.

And as IP's need painting we are using this as it's a great, neutral grey. Our default colour used to be Hog Bristle for IP's but I'm over it now.

 

Much like your sense of humour

 

i thought you painted some of your house grey already? What did you use there?
I like Dulux Brume and have used it in quarter and half for softer tones and full strength for rooms that get a lot of light.

 

White half exchange

 

We had a dulux colour consultant out recently. She recommended Brume half. Ive bought the paint but not painted yet. Its not far off white.

 

We have a predominantly white kitchen , and used Casper white ... looks quite white in direct sunlight , and has a soft grey in any type of shade

 

Install the Dulux Colour app . Good stuff

 

I hope you love it as much as I do @Nemo30! I think it will surprise you when you paint it, it's definitely a beautiful closer to grey than white but does get lighter in rooms with lots of windows and light.

 

I use either 1/2 or 1/4 strength Linseed Dulux, goes with most greys and even wooden tones.

Internet doesn't do justice to the actual colour, IMHO. But below they used 1/2 strength, so if you want softer then 1/4 strength.

 

Hi Euro - can I ask if you remember what colour white you used for the ceiling ? And where did you get the island lights ? Thanks

 

Ceiling was just done in vivid white .
Walls are Casper white
Island is domino
Lights are called Titans , from here - Shop Original BTC Lighting online, Dunlin Australia

My favourite grey is Subdue quarter (dulux). It’s a nice warm grey- personally not a fan of cool greys.

 

Hi, I recently painted my interiors in soft grey colour. I used vivid white on the ceilings. Then I experimented with Dulux: Highgate, lexicon, half lexicon, silver tea set, and finally I settled with summer cloud. Good luck.
