Dark Grey Paint

Some people think that using grey paint inside and outside your home is dull. Sure it’s not as bold as pink or yellow, but if you use it well, grey can look just as good, if not better.

But which shade of grey is right for the job? Well, we think that dark grey is one of the best paint colours for any painting project because of its versatility.

Where to Use Dark Grey Paint

Dark grey is one of those colours that works well no matter where you use it. It can be the centrepiece of the room like a floor to ceiling wall or be used on trim to enhance other colours.

Too much of one colour can look repetitive. For example, if all your walls are blue, it no longer becomes the focal point, and instead makes your furnishings stand out. When you’ve spent hours painting your walls, you want them to draw the eye of friends and family. A dark grey feature wall breaks up the repetition and only makes the blue look better.

It’s not just walls either, our dark grey paint can also be used on:

• Kitchen Surfaces
• Doors 
• Skirting Boards 
• Door Frames 
• Ceilings 
• Floors 
• Tiles 
• And more!  

Dark grey paint works brilliantly for both small and large surfaces. If your furniture is looking a little worn out, why not repaint it with some dark grey latex or wood paint? It will hide any imperfections and make the surface more resistant to wear – it’s a win-win!

Best Sheen for Dark Grey Paint 

Choosing the right sheen for darker colours can be tricky, and there’s no obvious correct answer. A matte finish can look flat, making it ideal for some walls and floors, whereas a glossier finish can breathe new life into stonework or wooden surfaces.

We always recommend testing your paint on an area that is exposed to different light levels during the day. This way you can see how much it reflects natural and artificial light and make your final purchase with confidence.

Using Dark Grey Paint Outside 

If you want your garden to look as natural as possible, you need to paint your surfaces in a colour that suits it. You could push the boat out and make your patio bright orange, but wouldn’t a subtle dark grey look a lot better? 

You can be creative with dark grey paint too. With so many different surfaces to paint, no two will look the same, even if you use the same colour. It isn’t just stone that looks great in grey either; many people paint their fences and sheds dark grey for a unique but subtle style.
