Shea McGee uses this unpopular paint color in her home office – but color experts say it's actually the perfect shade for a calming working environment

Shea McGee and McGee & Co home offices.

Every year we witness a newfound appreciation for certain paint shades and it seems that this year is no different. With warm neutrals dominating the Color of the Year announcements and many designers and homeowners alike shunning the once-loved gray, we've seen a real shift in the tones that are on trend.

Designer Shea McGee has long been a fan of warm nudes and has been incorporating them in her homewares and design projects since her studio was founded in 2014. But it seems that Shea is still a lover of gray despite what color trends say, and has chosen the unexpected shade for her own office, ignoring its recent unpopularity and proving it can be a beautiful shade to work with.
