Mainsail

Published:

‘Mainsail’ is a fantastically understated paint colour that works effortlessly in pretty much any setting, classic or contemporary. We kind of think of it as an easy neutral. Neither too warm nor too cool, ‘Mainsail’ is a subtle grey tone that helps to create a hushed and calming feel in homes both old and new or a mix of both.

We love to use ‘Mainsail’ as a contrast colour for projects as it looks particularly amazing with dark colours such as ‘Bowler Black’ when paired with polished nickel or aged brass hardware, but can look equally great with other paint colours and hardware shades. To illustrate how versatile this splendid shade is we’ve put together a list of projects that feature ‘Mainsail’ below:
