The Best Grey Paints For Interiors

There's s so many good 'uns to choose from here that it was trucky to narrow down my all time favourites. I've spent ages umming and aahing but here are my current top 5 favourite grey paints.

For those of you who want a mid grey paint that has a gently warm feel, without veering at all to red, choose Manor House Gray from Farrow and Ball.

Farrow and Ball Drop Cloth is a current favourite of mine. A grey with a whole heap of putty undertones, which at times reads as slightly greenish.

For a gentler take on grey paint, try Farrow and Ball Cornforth White (click through for my full case study): neutral and soft, this is a grey that let's a rooms' bones speak for themselves.

Little Greene French Grey is a fantastic choice for a grey painted kitchen that will truly stand the test of time. Don't compare it to Farrow and Ball's French Gray, which is far greener. They are completely different beasts! Little Greene's French Gray is a fairly clear and classic grey with the slightest hint of a blue undertone.

Earthborn Gregory's Den is another huge favourite of mine. It's the colour we chose to paint our dining room in our old house and I never tired of gazing at it! A warm creamy greenish grey. Very Modern Country!

These choices of best grey paints are very subject to change, as I come across and use new paint colours. But don't worry when and as that happens, you'll be the first to know!
