This color has always been a favorite of mine. I’ve heard it called olive gray. Sage green. Army green. Even grunge green. But, it’s basically a grayed down version of warm green. I remember it fondly from my ’90s days (er, I mean, my little sister’s ’90s days). Now, it’s making a comeback in fashion and interiors. Sherwin Williams has a version of it they call Acier in their 2017 Colormix. Naturally, it’s part of the Holistic palette.
Here’s a roundup of some inspiring interiors using this cozy gray-green…
‘Acier’ makes a great neutral wall color to make your furnishings and artwork ‘pop’.
It is the perfect complement to natural wood floors and white trim.
And, if you’re going with a craftsmen style interior, ‘Acier’ fits in perfectly! Add a few small pops of red for a little zing.
You can also create a dark, moody space using this warm green-gray. Add it to a charcoal black interior with dark chestnut leather pieces. Instant den feel!

Slightly sublime. This may be too strong a word for it, bit it grows on you the more you look at it’s applications. At first I though, oh no, another gray. Then I checked out your blog post and looked at all the rooms, especially the kitchens. It’s really beautiful and has a lot more depth than I expected. In fact, I’m currently staging a house for resale, and I have been looking for a lighter gray to combine with the more deeply pigmented grays I have used in the parts of the house. I was a little lost with the myriad of light grays and not sold on any. I think this might do the trick. Thank you for posting.
