Helping you and your customer find the right shade of grey Dulux Trade paint

Call off the search for the best grey - this guide will help painters and decorators provide expert advice to customers in finding their perfect Dulux Trade grey paint.

Cool Greys

You can advise your client that cool greys are perfect for south facing rooms and rooms with lots of natural light. They create a crisp sophisticated modern look and help to make small spaces appear brighter.

Dulux Trade's 4 most popular cool greys are: Warm Pewter 50BG 38/011 Goose Down 30GG 61/010 Coastal Grey 70BG 56/061 Rock Salt 50BG 83/009.

Use cool grey with Dulux Trade Pure Brilliant White or Dulux Trade Rock Salt 50BG 83/009 on trim or paint the walls and trim in the same grey for a seamless modern look your customer desires

Warm Greys

Warm greys work best in north facing rooms, big open plan spaces and rooms your client is going to use more at night. They create a relaxed cosy atmosphere and work well with wood and natural leather.

Dulux Trade's 4 most popular warm greys are: Pebble Shore 50YY 63/041, Perfectly Taupe 60YR 54/028, Misty Mountain 30YY 46/036 and Thimble Case 30YY 68/024.

Use warm greys with Dulux Trade White Cotton 30GY 88/014 on trim or paint the walls and woodwork in the same grey for another seamless modern look.

True Grey

Your client may argue that all greys are the same but painters, decorators and Dulux Trade know they are not. Most greys have a hint of colour in them which gives them distinct personalities - this helps you advise the best grey to use for any project. True grey is a simple mix of black and white and no other colour added.

At Dulux Trade we have a collection of true greys shades which will look great in any room. Dulux Trade's 4 most popular true greys are Chic Shadow 00NN 31/000, Polished Pebble 00NN 72/000, Urban Obsession 00NN 25/000 and Night Jewels 3 00NN 20/000.

Grey paints are the best team players

Grey is a beautiful colour on its own but you can talk to your client about how it works so well with every other colour because it's the ultimate neutral. This is brilliant if your client likes grey - but don't want to have it on every wall.
