Chelsea gray is a classic color that has been a favorite of interior designers for many years. It is a sophisticated gray with the slightest hint of brown, with just the tiniest hint of violet in certain light. It is versatile and works well in dining rooms, bedrooms, living rooms, kitchen cabinets, and islands. It is also a beautiful outside paint color. It has an LRV of 23.33. It reflects sunlight well and can be a chameleon color in differing light patterns.
Chelsea Gray works well in a study or home office. This fabulously designed room by Hudson Cooper Design includes the hue over the entire desk and shelving. The white chair and accessories are a perfect pairing for this eye-catching color. I also love the gold hardware against the gray. It all comes together strikingly.
