Ever since Karl Lagerfeld decorated one of his houses entirely in shades of grey, the triumph of grey in interior design has been unstoppable. Chalk paint is particularly suitable for grey tones. Its slightly rustic, matt surface makes grey an individual, subtle eye-catcher. You can find everything about grey chalk paint here.

Grey is always a mixture of black and white. Although grey is often referred to as a non-colour, grey tones can appear completely different by adding different pigments. The colour shade of grey also determines which other colours it combines well with.
Nevertheless, grey tones are rather reserved, subtle colours that can also create a calming atmosphere. This is why grey goes particularly well on surfaces in rooms where you want to relax. In workspaces and offices, grey can create a concentrated and focused atmosphere.
Grey is also a colour that emphasises other, more intense colours and makes them stand out. This is why a piece of furniture painted with grey furniture paint, for example, goes well with vibrant wallpaper or a wall in an accent colour.
At MissPompadour you will find a large colour scheme of grey chalk paints. You can find grey chalk varnishes in various shades in the CosyColours collection. Calm Grey, for example, is a classic grey shade in a medium thickness, while Rainy Days Grey is very light and delicate. There are also 2 interesting grey shades in the LittlePomp collection, which are not only available as varnishes, but also as wall paints.
Chalk varnishes create a particularly elegant finish, especially in dark colour shades. The chalk paint Secret Grey in a dark anthracite is very interesting. This mysterious grey is a so-called near-black shade. The soft, almost black colour shade contains brown-reddish pigments that give it its warmth.
A little lighter, but also a graphite colour nuance, is the friendly Comfort Grey. Its warm, deep dark radiance can embellish many pieces of furniture. The dark grey with its graphite components is a colour that can complement a wide variety of interior styles. It goes particularly well with reddish beige tones and is generally harmoniously complemented by red tones. Comfort Grey looks great in combination with oriental rugs, lots of books and anything that brings colour into a room.
Grey & Mindful from the LittlePomp chalk paint collection is also quite an intense but slightly lighter shade of grey. This flannel shade is a grey that is perfectly balanced between cool and warm. It harmonises particularly well with rosé tones.
The sophisticated Quiet Moments-grey from the CosyColours collection is much lighter. Its red pigments give the rich grey shade a slight touch of pink-violet. Silk Grey combines grey and brown to create a cosy atmosphere.
You will also find the delicate Silence Grey among the CosyColours. This fairly neutral colour shade fits well into a modern urban ambience, while Grey & Relaxed from the LittlePomp chalk paints is even softer and gentler. Its yellow colour components make the light grey shade a warm, cosy colour.
And last but not least, you will find an almost brown, intense colour shade among the CosyColours chalk paints: Warm Grey. With its numerous red pigments, this interesting colour shade could also be described as mauve.
Depending on which pigments are added to a grey shade, grey can appear very different. If, for example, umber-coloured pigments are used, grey takes on a warm, natural character. With red and blue pigments, grey can tend towards purple. If beige is added, the grey tone becomes warm and friendly. With blue colours, on the other hand, you get a cool, calming but also concentration-enhancing shade of blue.
Chalk paints are available as wall paints and varnishes. The CosyColours colour shades are chalk-based paint colours that are suitable for almost any surface. They work as chalk paints for furniture in grey, on wood and metal, but also on tiles and even glass and plastic.
LittlePomp chalk paint grey gives you the opportunity to create an interesting effect: Complement your furniture paint job by painting a wall in the matching grey chalk paint. As all LittlePomp colour shades are available both as a chalk paint for walls and as a chalk varnish for furniture, this is no problem and you will get a result that is exactly the same colour. A piece of furniture can therefore stand tone-on-tone against a background in the same colour.
Shades of grey can be combined with many colours. It is important to choose the right shade of grey. The pigments contained in the grey should always be taken into account when selecting the combination colours in order to achieve a good effect. Chalk paints in grey with e.g. blue pigments are particularly suitable in combination with blue tones, those with yellow pigments go well with yellow tones etc. You can also combine wooden surfaces painted in grey particularly well with wallpaper from the MissPompadour non-woven wallpaper collection. This is because a subtle shade of grey makes the colour shades of any wallpaper design stand out particularly well.
Cleverly combined, a coat of grey paint can accentuate other colours and make wallpaper look fantastic. In addition, chalk paints create a velvety matt and sophisticated look, which is why grey chalk paint is also well suited to a shabby chic home and the upcycling of old wooden furniture. The fine particles of chalk paint reflect the light in a very special way and look like colours from another era. This allows you to create an authentic shabby chic look in any room in your home. Grey chalk paint is also perfect for a sophisticated country house style thanks to its slightly rustic surface.
A major advantage of chalk paint is that it is easy to apply. Two coats are usually enough, as chalk paint has enormous covering power. If you want to paint tiles, plastic or another smooth surface, such as glass, with grey-grey chalk paint, you should prepare with a primer. MissPompadour To Bond & Block creates a perfect primer for your chalk paint. If you are using it on surfaces that are subject to heavy wear, such as a table, you should also stabilise the paint with MissPompadour To Seal. Incidentally, anything that you have painted with chalk paints can be painted over again at any time.
First, order the hand-painted CosyColours and LittlePomp chalk paints colour-cards. You can then examine the colour shades in any light and in any room to choose the right grey chalk paint.
