What color is Little Greene Urbane Grey?

Little Greene Urbane Grey 225 is a mid-tone grey with a softly muted, slightly warm cast, reflected in its gentle hint of beige and green. It sits away from both stark cool grey and obvious taupe, giving walls a quiet, grounded look without appearing heavy. In bright daylight, this shade can read as a calm, softened neutral, while lower or north-facing light may bring out its more subdued grey-green character. It is well suited to living rooms, hallways, and kitchens, including painted cabinetry where a restrained neutral is wanted. Pair Urbane Grey with chalky off-whites, natural oak, aged brass, linen, and darker charcoal details for contrast.
