Anyone good with describing colour?

[worldsworststepfordwife]

This dress is described as grey but I think it’s quite an unusual grey but not sure how to describe it!!

It's say it was a pebble grey! If that's a thing?

Dove grey?

It’s not daughters prom till next year but she mentioned it today laughing that she couldn’t think of a colour she would suit as she’s very pale skinned with light ash brown hair, so I thought I’d have a look on ASOS for colours not too pale or too dark, and saw this thought that could possibly work

I think I'd call that cadet grey!

I’d say dove grey too.

Eucalyptus? I think it’s got a green/blue tinge to the grey.

I think eucalyptus is a pretty good description

Charge your phone grey.

Pigeon grey....dove grey is lighter and softer. I appreciate that pigeon isn't quite as glamorous though

Gun metal grey?

I’d call it dove grey as well.

Sea spray

Dove grey.

She needs to look at her skin undertone. Warm, cool or neutral. That’s all she needs to know in order to pick colours that suit.

Your daughter would likely look good in lots of pastel / baby tones if she has pale skin

Elephant's Breath

Marl ?

Another vote for dove grey here

Seaglass

Eucalyptus is a good description.

It's not dove grey, there's too much green in it. Dove grey is a pale grey.

Dove grey is much lighter, I think. I liked Nutkin's pebble grey offering!

French grey .....ooh la la
Actually Laura Ashley French grey paint is exactly this colour

That's a yellow-based mid-grey.

PS. Colours usually have a yellow or blue tone, same as skin tone, so it all really depends on if your daughter has a cool or warm colouring as to whether it will suit her. However, it's strapless, so this affords a little more leeway.

This is what’s so very frustrating about colours on computer screens. It doesn’t look like a warm grey to me at all.

Your best bet is to order the dress and see what it actually looks like against her skin.

Thanks everyone I think when the time comes we’re going to try some in the mauve grey blue spectrum and see how we get on
