Color Pairings: Yellow and Grey

Lovely new color combo find....I never thought of combining yellow and grey before. Seems like a strange combination, but apparently it's been a hot and ongoing trend. It is subtle exuberance and a combination that appeals to different styles.

Like this wallpaper above...to me evokes a bit of romance, chicness. I might just use this for my blank staircase wall!

Vintage chic. A sharper yellow along with dark and metallic grey blends older furnishing styles with more contemporary styles.

Perfect for a loft -- a little country modern with the sharp yellow barn door set against the grey bathroom wall. I can imagine this in a loft-style apartment.

Urban subtlety.

Add a little black with the yellow/grey combo to give a kitchen a modern feel.

Or add white and hints of red for a country kitchen feel.
