What’s your favourite shade of blue: azure, blue-gray, blue-green, cerulean, cobalt, indigo, navy, royal, sapphire, teal, turquoise, ultramarine?

Another favourite among my Twitter followers was greige. What is greige, some of you may be asking? Well, until recently I hadn’t heard of it either, so I looked it up: “greige is an unbleached and un-dyed cloth or yarn” but also “a colour blending gray and beige”. That’s when I went: aha, my living room is painted greige! I called it taupe at the time, but people kept looking at it and calling it either dark beige or gray. Now I can tell them it’s greige!

I've asked my Twitter followers which colours they preferred in their bedrooms and gray, along with white, came up as the top choices.
Gray is a beautiful neutral colour which works well with just about any colour combo you can think of. For this post I kept my selection between colour defining boundaries – white to black. I love the soft and rich textures mixed together to create these fabulous and soothing bedrooms.
