Tonal Combinations

Chic Shadow has hints of purple undertones which helps to bring warmth to this grey shade. Gentle Lavender is a beautiful, lilac shade, or pair with a more defining shade such as Pressed Thistle.

Introducing a darker shade like Pressed Thistle is great for grounding the room, think of adding it to skirting boards, architraves and doors. Alternatively bring it into the space with decor accessories, cushions and throws.

Neutral Combinations

Perhaps you want to keep things neutral in your colour scheme. With a mid-range grey like Chic Shadow, pair with the likes of Polished Pebble by Dulux, a cooler pale grey, and lift things with Natural Slate. This darker grey shade works well as a defining accent in a room if black feels a little too harsh for the colour scheme.

This trio of colours work well together but it can result in a cold colour scheme. Do try to incorporate other colours to keep it feeling light and airy, even if that’s just a warm cream shade, a pop of purple or bright white on the ceiling.

Chic Shadow & Black

Black and grey is a timeless pairing of colours. For a modern interior, black is a defining accent colour that will ground the room. Introduce it with small accents such as with interior hardware details like cup handles, sockets & switches and chair legs.

Perhaps for a moodier aesthetic you might want to bring black in as the dominant colour, with Chic Shadow used as a complementary colour.

Chic Shadow & Green

Introducing Earthy Green into the equation with grey will ground the room and provides a soft, thoughtful touch to an interior. It’s perfect for a neutral colour scheme.

Introduce it in subtle details such as curtains, cushions and throws. Think about texture and pattern too, this is a great way to add depth and character to a space.

Chic Shadow & Blush Pink

Blush pink is one of my favourite complementary colours to a grey like Chic Shadow. It adds a feminine touch, and you only need to use it on a few well placed items to benefit from its warmth.

Introduce it with decor accessories, cushions, throws, curtains and even rugs.

Chic Shadow & White

To stop Chic Shadow feeling oppressive, a standard bright white shade is perfect for lifting the room. Use it on the ceiling or above a picture rail to help elevate the room, your eye will instantly be drawn up to the stark contrast as you enter the room, giving the illusion of higher ceilings.

Grey and white alone can be considered a pretty bland colour scheme in a home, so do introduce other colours to break up the monotony of the shades.

Chic Shadow & Cream

If white feels a little bit too clinical, introducing a cream shade will add warmth and depth to the room. Use it in a similar way to white, or bring it in with beautiful decor accessories and throws with materials such as boucle, wool and calico fabric to add gorgeous texture to the room.
