Cross-over greys happily co-mingle.
Grey continues its reign as a popular neutral, but now happily co-mingles with beige and blackened whites as we seek to soften its sometimes austere edge. We love grey’s flexibility as it morphs from stormy green-grey to silvery mist grey, from inky slate grey to stone grey.
Look to the dusted tones of grey blended with blue, green or brown for a timeless look that can be easily accessorised to suit each season.
Step outside your comfort zone to marry grey with accents of brown, clean greens, dusky wine red and cerulean blues.
Span the seasons with luxe furs to soften the grey, or white flowers and opalescent ming green accents for a summery edge
top tip Where once we accented grey with pops of bright colour, now there’s a sophisticated turning to sharp mustards, clean forest greens, tropical teals and burnished bronze.
For a sense of order and calm, use groupings of odd-numbered ornaments and restrict your scheme to three colours
Resene Half Dusted Blue is a pale cobweb grey lightly touched with a warm undertone of blue. Try Resene Half Dusted Blue with cinnabar oxides, limestone whites or heavy greys such as Resene Simply Red, Resene Chalk Dust or Resene Steam Roller.
Resene Half Raven is a timeless muted mid-grey, solemn and chic. Try Resene Half Raven with wheaten yellows, cool whites or leaf greens such as Resene Quarter Moonbeam, Resene Half Black White or Resene Ciderhouse.
