Color trends: Greige and Mediterranean neutrals

Why greige is our best seller

At the Suministros Barrero counter, we see that cold white is out. Now, people want Mediterranean neutrals. Greige is the best example because it mixes gray and beige. It feels calm and looks great with the light we have here on the Costa Brava.

To get the tone right, we use the NCS system. The code NCS S 2005-Y20R defines this style best. It has 20% color and leans toward ochre. That gives it a warmth that normal gray lacks.

How to use NCS and RAL codes

We work with Blatem paint because the colors match the charts perfectly. If you want an earth tone that reminds you of this area, NCS S 3010-Y30R looks great on interior walls and facades. When you use these codes, the color you see on the sample is what you take home. Screens lie, but codes do not.

We save the RAL system for windows or ironwork. RAL 7044 Silk Grey pairs well with greige walls. If you do not want white frames, RAL 1015 Light Ivory is an alternative that keeps everything soft.

Earth colors for your home

Customers ask for colors that look like natural materials. NCS S 4010-Y50R is a clay tone. It works for painting a single wall to give a room strength, especially with wood furniture or linen curtains.

Here is a combination that works:

• For ceilings and general walls: NCS S 1002-Y50R. It gives a lot of light.
• For baseboards: RAL 9002 Grey White. It stays cleaner than pure white.
• For a special corner: NCS S 3020-Y40R. This is a warmer tone.

If you need to see how these colors look in person, stop by the shop in Lloret de Mar and we will show you the real samples.
