French Grey is a beautifully balanced warm grey, based on the classic recipe but deliberately softened and warmed. Traditional French greys were often made using red and blue pigments; ours combines red earth and black with lemon yellow to create its subtle blueness and warmer character. The result is an exceptionally versatile neutral, equally at home across walls or woodwork and in both traditional and contemporary interiors.
The Shade Collection: French Grey is also available in three lighter shades, made with 60%, 40% and 20% of the full pigment.

Fabulous Breathable paint. I used 2 pallet loads of their basic white for a 7 bedroom Georgian farmhouse renovation. Lovely to work with and excellent coverage. I have also used some of the beautiful colours as I need breathability with the lime plaster. Cannot fault it, totally recommend!
