By AlysEdwards | 5/17/2023

Gray is a versatile color but with infinite shades to choose from, it can be difficult to find the right hue. Not all grays are alike. For example, there are warm grays and cool grays as well as soft tones and deep tones. Eiffel for You brings forth the calmness of blue, while Britney Goes Cray Cray for Grey brings forth the warmth of a fresh tan. The blue-grey taupe veining in Calacatta Oro adds a soft touch to the bold, stark white which can serve as the perfect foundation. If your opting for a more warm and soft approach, Chinchilla is a perfect neutral. Craving something bold? Our Will Shuck for Oysters is a cool grey that can be the focal point to any space.
