Let’s explore six of our most inspiring shades and discover how to bring them into your space.

Light Grey: Subtle & Serene

Understated and versatile, Light Grey is the perfect soft backdrop for any room. Inspired by pale marble, this gentle hue is neither too warm nor too cool, lending a calming effect to interiors.

Pair it with deeper tones such as Dust Grey or Graphite for a layered monochromatic look or introduce colour accents like Marine for a fresh contrast. Hardware choices also transform the mood: Brushed Nickel adds elegance, while Satin Brass creates a touch of drama.

Dust Grey: Cool & Contemporary

Drawing inspiration from sleek city skyscrapers, Dust Grey brings strength and clarity to any home. It’s cool, architectural tone feels effortlessly modern, perfect for minimalist interiors.

This shade shines when paired with Light Grey or Brilliant White, creating a strikingly crisp palette. Add handleless cabinetry for a seamless effect, or accessorise with Matte Black, Chrome, or Inox hardware to complete the look.

Monument Grey: A Statuesque Classic

Sitting firmly in the middle of the spectrum, Monument Grey carries strong blue undertones that bring both drama and sophistication. Reminiscent of stone statues and historic buildings, it adds a timeless quality to any space.

Perfect for dual-toned cabinetry, pair Monument Grey with Light Grey or Brilliant White for a classic monochrome scheme. Balance its industrial edge with warmer wall colours, metallic brass hardware, and sparkling white worktops for a bright yet grounded finish.

Gunmetal Grey: Strong & Striking

Authoritative yet refined, Gunmetal Grey is a bold mid-to-dark shade with inky blue undertones. Derived from the strength of tungsten, it’s a colour that brings weight and depth to interiors.

Pair it with Brilliant White to brighten its moodier presence or soften it with Light Grey for a subtle monochrome look. Add Chrome hardware for a traditional touch or keep things sleek with Aluminium handleless rails for a modern, metallic finish.

Graphite: Sophisticated Depth

Dramatic yet versatile, Graphite is a charcoal grey with tranquil undertones. Inspired by twilight’s final moments, it creates a mood that’s both introspective and inviting.

Use Graphite as a sole cabinetry colour to craft a cosy, intimate atmosphere, or pair it with Light Grey and veined marble for a high-contrast, dramatic look. Layer with soft LED lighting and natural textures like oak and rattan for warmth and balance.

Cannon Black: Bold & Luxurious

At the deepest end of the palette lies Cannon Black, a powerful true black that instantly commands attention. Aptly named after historic artillery, it’s a shade that exudes strength and luxury.

Use it with paler tones like Porcelain or Cashmere to create a dramatic contrast or lean into a seamless aesthetic with integrated handles or Matte Black hardware. As the boldest hue in the collection, it’s perfect for kitchens, media rooms, or any space where you want an intimate, striking atmosphere.
