If you haven’t heard about it yet, I’m sure you’ll witness it taking up more and more space in the interior design arena. Subtle gray is the new shade of neutral that is replacing the creamy off-whites we’ve all been using for a while now, and it’s a fascinating color to say the least. Designers love it for its ability to work in almost any design scheme, and instantly create a sophisticated look.
The fascination with gray in interiors isn’t new, and most of us gave into the cool, steely tones that were synonymous with modern homes a few years back. We’ve since moved on and the only types of gray we still found acceptable were those with warmer stone undertones. Now it’s ‘subtle gray’ that is asking for our attention. It’s not one of the easiest colors to define, so I spoke to color and design experts to find out exactly what it is, why it’s a color trend right now, and how to use it.
