What colour are you replacing grey with?

[Bigcityyellows]

Inspired by another thread where everyone slated anything grey and said how they’re so over it.
If you’ve repainted your grey walls with another colour, what have you chosen?
In the living room and hallway, I’ve gone for a pastel pink which I think works well with some of the grey furniture that I still have but I’m in need of another colour for the kitchen. The cabinets are gloss white and the floor tiles are grey (although we may change the flooring at some point). I was thinking a pastel blue/turquoise but open to other ideas!

The answer is, whatever colour is the same as everyone else is using. Obviously.

Gosh...what are people who have gone the whole hog going to do with their crushed velvet grey sofas, grey kitchens, grey tiles, grey garden furniture, grey upholstered beds and grey laminate throughout?
How very 2018.

That's a good tip. Didn't know it existed. (That's how long it is since I hung wallpaper!)

Sage green?

I've never liked grey carpets. I'm old enough to associate them with the worst kind of boring office temp job. And I hate grey fake wood flooring and houses that are grey all over. But DS chose a gorgeous deep rich grey for his bedroom and it doesn't feel dated yet.

But OP, in answer to your question - lots of biscuity, sandy warm, rich beiges, and as @jamswell says - a fair amount of sage and olive too.

I find this hard to believe as this is how I decorated just before grey came in. I recently had to replace the bathroom Lino and couldn’t get these shades, k had to go for a greyish version.

I love wallpaper because I think it's easier than painting. Especially now paste the wall ones are available. No cutting in edges, no second...third...more? coats, no worrying about splatter on the floors and furniture. Just take it slowly and carefully and it really is the way forward!

It's lining up the patterns correctly that I worry about. And hanging it completely straight. I find painting much easier. But I do love wallpaper. We're moving soon and I'd love wallpaper in our new house.

So did I (before grey came in) but I never really left these colours - some smoky lavenders, smoky blues, eau de nil but the only grey I used was in DS's room (which worked) and bathroom floor which I regretted as soon as it went down.

Sage green

Farrow and Ball Pigeon looks nice. It’s a grey with a warm green tint to it.

I second the Farrow and Ball Pigeon or Farrow and Ball Hardwick White which is actually a sage green/grey colour not white at all, slightly lighter than the pigeon. Both lovely.

Thanks for all the useful suggestions!

For those who think I’m just copying everyone else, clearly that’s not what I’m planning to do, especially since everyone has given different answers. As a said, I’ve already used a pastel pink for many areas because guess what? I like pink! I was asking for suggestions, as people often do on Mumsnet. I was seeing what other colours have worked to tie in with any grey that may still be lurking around and some posters have given great ideas. I’m not repainting because “grey is out” either. After however many years, my walls need to be redone as there are marks, fingerprints etc and they’re just looking a bit tired.

My house is many colours.. navy hallway, green and pink bedroom, dark red living room, bright yellow kids playroom..I don't think Ive ever painted anything grey and have certainly never been worried about what's in ir not colour wise.

Most people seem to like my eclectic taste.. if they don't they are too polite to say!

Op what do you like? You do appear to have followed the trend on grey and are now asking what everyone is doing if they also had grey. But what do you like?

do you like greens, blues, teals, neutrals? What someone else likes or did is irrelevant.

I have my bedroom in this, it’s dark. Depending on the light it can be grey or green. In my bedroom it’s a grey toned green, I was going to do it in the living room and it was steel grey, so quickly abandoned.
