how to use the new gray
Gray-green. Gray-green bathroom tiles. Gray-green painted walls in dining room. Gray-green painted walls in bedroom.
Gray-green is having a moment. And no wonder: post-pandemic, cooler neutrals such as gray and white are being replaced by warmer, more inviting neutrals.
Recently, we asked what color is replacing gray? And while many of us are happy with the answer (beige), others of us love decorating with gray, and are finding it hard to move on.
