Cotton Grey HDC-NT-20 is the perfect neutral backdrop for any room in your home. We love this relaxing color. Cotton Grey HDC-NT-20 is so calm and soothing. It’s not to light, not too dark and definitely not drab. It looks lovely in natural light as well in the evening when it is lit up with a warm glow.
We used Cotton Grey HDC-NT-20 on the walls for this cozy in-home coffee bar. This grey is very versatile, making it easy to coordinate with other colors. You can add pops of bright hues to create a livelier feel. Or as we did, add some dusty soft hues to keep the mood undisturbed.
To create this atmosphere, we found an old cabinet that we used to display our coffee amenities. We filled it with a mix of fresh beans, vintage grinders, espresso cups, and scrumptious treats. Added some clever puns and bistro words. Lastly, we placed a small table with pendant lighting just above.
There is nothing better than the energizing aroma of fresh coffee brewing in your home. especially when paired with the calming feel of Cotton Grey HDC-NT-20. In the morning this color is bright and alive making this the perfect spot to wake up with a fresh cup of coffee. As the day draws to an end, this color becomes a cozy backdrop for a soothing place to unwind.

I have cotton gray to cover walls in my studio, that were plastered so it will be highly textured. I’m looking for a color to brighten it up and I’m thinking about some kind of pale lemonade color do you have a recommendation? It will go on the adjacent wall.
Hi Melinda – thanks for contacting us with your question.
Consider using one of the following pale lemonade yellows:
Proper Temperature
Apple Core
Polished Pearl
Rice Wine
Let us know how you like those options.

Creamy Mushroom PPU5-13, Chic Gray PPU26-10, Wheat Bread 720C-3 or Greige PPU24-11.
Hope this helps!

Hi! I just painted my kitchen Cotton Grey, and I LOVE it. Now it’s time to paint my kitchen cabinets, and I’m having a hard time choosing the right shades to compliment the wall color. I’m wanting a two-color look, so I *think* I’ve chosen power grey for the lower cabinets (open to better suggestions though!). However, I can’t find the right shade of white for the uppers, which get lots of sunlight. So far I’ve bought samples of and tried:
silent white (love the color, but not enough contrast with cotton grey)
Bakery Box (too stark bright-white)
White metal (blue hue in the sunlight)
and Diamonds Therapy (greige-ish in the sunlight, blended with cotton grey walls.
I’ve also tried “white”, which is closest to what I’m wanting, but still not perfect. Any recommendations would be great!!!
Hello Jordan, thank you for visiting our blog!
This is helpful information!
So Power Gray will work for your bottom cabinets if you decide on that color then for your upper cabinets you can try Silky White PPU7-12.
Another combination with Silky White as the upper cabinets I recommend Fashion Gray PPU18-15 for bottom cabinets. Just so you have two different options but I recommend testing each of these colors to see what you prefer.
Hope this helps!

Hi, I love the “farmhouse” style and have been looking at neutral grays such as agreeable grey and repose. However I have hardwood floors that are kind of orangey- I love the hardwood but not tint, can’t afford to replace floors. My daughter, who is an artist says I need to go with something warmer so it won’t clash. Any suggestions? Thanks!
Hi Shelly,
We have some of warm gray/neutral options that may work with your current floors.
Try: Grey Mist or Dove, or if you want a warmer, more neutral hue try: Granite Dust or Creamy Mushroom.

Does it dry darker
Hi Kathy, If you use a flat sheen the color may appear slightly lighter. A glossier sheen will typically make a color appear darker.

We just painted our newly remodeled bathroom in this color and I am in love! We’ve been choosing neutral brown and grey colors throughout our new home. Any suggestions on a darker neutral color to pair with this???
Hi Jordan,
I am glad to hear you are happy with this color! Here are a few darker neutrals to pair with this: Art District or Unpredictable Hue. I suggest you try a color sample before you commit as the lighting, time of day, and other items in the room may affect the color appearance.

Another gorgeous color, BEHR Paints! Thank you so much!
Hi Sheila – THANK YOU! So glad you like this color. It is one of our favorites!

I am looking for a light neutral to go with traditional wood trim. Would Cotton grey work? Maybe Ashen tan? Other suggestions?
Hi Heather,
Both are good color options. Ashen Tan compared to Cotton Gray is a little warmer. So it depends on your wood tone and other items in your room. I suggest once you have a few color options to try color samples before you commit as the lighting, time of day and other items in the room may affect the color appearance.
Hope this helps!
Colorfully yours,
