Greige

A combination of beige and gray, greige is known as the perfect compromise. Pair it with both warm and cool tones as these colors are filled with a kaleidoscope of colorful undertones, and work beautifully in both traditional, contemporary, and transitional settings. From light to dark, and everything in between, this color is perfect for transitioning between rooms to give the eye a rest. In the room above, I love the way this soft tone quietly sits in the background allowing these rich textiles to take center stage. Although I may be a slightly biased...have you seen the background color of my logo?
