Gray + Beige = Gorgeous Greige Paint Colors
Greige, a trending neutral may be just what you’re looking for to refresh your walls and home decor.
There’s a reason grays have remained popular for more than a decade. As a neutral color, gray paint colors complement almost every style of home, both as an exterior and an interior shade. For similar reasons, beige was a popular neutral which trended at the beginning of the 2000s.
What if you like both gray and beige, but these two neutrals simply don’t blend well with the other colors you like?

Ideas For Using Greige Paint Colors
You can use greige instead of gray and/or beige in most rooms. The ratio of gray to beige will go a long way in determining which rooms to apply it to.
A greige with a higher percentage of gray will produce a cool, clean look. This is perfect for the kitchen. When you combine this color with whites and blues (other cool colors), you can create a traditional-looking kitchen without the gray usually present in this color palette.
For living rooms and bedrooms, you’ll probably want to go with a warmer shade. You can achieve this with a higher proportion of beige in the mix. Sherwin Williams Windsor Greige and Mega Greige both have undertones of yellow and brown, which complement and enhance the beige.
