Little Greene - French Grey (113)
French Grey - Usually mixed with a little blue and a red, when a "middle tint" was required, this "fancy" colour was far from cheap
French Grey
This original Victorian colour, part of the French Grey family, is one of the most popular paint colours on Little Greene's card. A classic, timeless and extremely versatile shade, French Grey is equally valuable in the traditional home and the modern interior - calm living spaces, hallways, bathrooms and bedrooms. Also a great neutral colour to use as a backdrop to brighter highlight colours such as Marigold, Mister David and Green Verditer.
