Greige...reminds me of another color chameleon.

Greige, how about Breen? Does anyone remember it from the late 90's??? I bought a silk scarf that I thought was brown. When I wore it to the office with fluorescent lights overhead, it appeared to be avocado. Amazing how lighting could change the color: brown vs. green, or Breen !!!

I don't recall 'Breen', but Greige is better than straight grey or beige, sometimes, depending on the shade(s). If you just made up the word 'Breen', it's very spot on! I like it!

Romary, can't take credit for making up "Breen" --- I vaguely recall seeing on a tag or a box of clothing somewhere!

'Breen':

A color Gary (Denim and Co.) would have a 'hey-day' with, if we aren't careful............lol. Mummm's the word.

I just painted our kitchen Lindquist Gallery Beige, or something like that. I see no beige whatsoever. To my eye it's grey all the way; however, in certain light and at certain angles, I can see a hint of green as well. Our granite is called steel grey, but, again, in certain light and at certain angles, it takes on a blue cast.

Needless to say, we're having a tough time getting colors right on this project. The floor will be our last installation, and I am praying it pulls it all together.

Strive for respect instead of attention. It lasts longer.
