I first heard of 'greige' around 5 years ago. I was asking designers about their go-to neutral shades, and this word was coming up time and time again. It is exactly the shade it sounds, somewhere between a cool gray and a warm beige, making it incredibly versatile and adaptable to changing trends. No surprise it's become a perennial favorite among both designers and homeowners.
Gray seems to be on a bit of a downward spiral in the world of color trends. Of course, it will never totally fall out of fashion, but considering it was once the most popular neutral by far, I am seeing less and less of it in its cooler form especially. There's been a clear shift in interior design trends towards warmer, softer, more earthy neutrals and greige has become the new way to do gray.
