Grey: Today’s Neutral

Advice from Sunshine Designer:
Elaine Potashnick

“What is the new color?” is a frequent question. Topping the list is the latest new neutral – grey. Proffering a spectrum of hues from gunmetal to steely white, shades of grey have been creeping into decors in recent years with the additions of stainless steel and silver accents. Not surprising, this diluted shade of black carries a classic feel, especially when warmed with bursts of color. Adaptable, grey marries well with modern, classic or contemporary homes.

Even better, practical and versatile, gray works with numerous other classic neutrals, such as stone, white, black or jet, making them more of a focal color than accent.  In addition, it pairs well with more robust colors such as orange, red, peacock blue, kelly green or caramel.

Add textured or tone-on-tone accents that include the grey neutral in a print of stripes, plaids, florals or embroidery. Feel free to mix-and-match these colors to fit with your personal style.
