The cool minimal classic — light grey built the 2010s modern kitchen and still owns clean-lined schemes where warmth would be noise. Crisp, technical, honest.
The exact RAL codes to spec
Colour names drift between suppliers; RAL codes do not. These are the three we mix most for light grey cabinet projects:
| RAL 7035 | Light Grey |
| RAL 7047 | Telegrey 4 |
| RAL 9018 | Papyrus White |
Every code sprays in super-matte through high gloss; approve the sprayed sample in your room's light before production — sheen shifts colour a half-step.
What to pair it with
Light Grey performs best beside chrome or black, white quartz, glass, pale floors. Keep undertone temperature consistent across counters, metals and floors and the scheme locks together on its own.
Where it works best
Specify light grey for minimal kitchens, offices, garages-showroom, labs of life. For dosing strategies — island-only colour, two-tone splits — see the two-tone formulas guide.
Door designs to carry it
The colour reads differently by profile: on our Iris, Silk designs it shows its full range from calm to characterful. All are lacquered to order in any code above — browse the gallery for the complete set.
The mistake to avoid
In warm-lit rooms light grey turns greenish — it is a cool-light colour by nature.
