Colour Spotlight: Why Greige Is Our New Favorite Neutral
Senior Market Editor Kai Ethier shares which hue she’s crushing on right now.
Too much gray can leave a room feeling cold, while an envelope of beige can be, well, rather basic. Enter greige, which blends both shades to deliver a rich yet neutral hit of color. The hue is as versatile as it gets: stay on the ecru side of the spectrum and the result is warm and welcoming, or go for silver undertones to achieve a clean and bright look.
How To Make A Big Statement

How To Add A Small Accent
