Stone Paint Colours

Stone colour paint is becoming an increasingly popular interior design choice. Don't make the mistake of confusing these mineral-inspired shades with standard grey. While grey and stone hues share some characteristics, stone tones are the way to go if you want to elevate your space. 

Looking to keep things simple? If you're bored of beige and want to shift away from off-white colours, soft stone is an easy choice. It's the perfect palette for a more contemporary home, although this low-key colour family can be implemented in just about any home.

The Allure of Stone Paint Colours

Modern design trends put a focus on simplicity and stripped-back aesthetics. Whether you're thinking about embracing industrial design or are taking your inspiration from Scandinavian style, you'll need the right paint colour at your disposal. 

Stone paint colours provide the ideal backdrop to almost every modern interior design trend. They're great for making a small space seem bigger, while richer stone hues tend to be infused with jewel tones and earthy character. 

They're also incredibly versatile. You can use them on their own as an all-wall colour option, or mix and match multiple hues to produce jaw-dropping tonal decor schemes. 

Simply put, stone paint colours can turn a neutral scheme into something truly special. What's more, you can adapt your interiors over time, introducing new complementary colours or design accents. 

Our Favourite Stone Paint Colours

Ready to ditch your go-to neutrals in favour of something more stylish? We've selected some of our best stone paint products for you to consider. 

If you're a fan of off-white hues, you'll love Chalk F484. A good option for those minimalist spaces, this soft stone is underscored with a hint of green that brings added freshness. 

This paint colour will work incredibly well in larger living spaces with high ceilings. It's also a perfect pairing for open-plan arrangements. Complementary shades like warm browns and mid-greys work particularly well alongside this one. 

To avoid your space looking washed out, make sure you add plenty of contrasts. Dark hardwood flooring is an easy choice, although a generous smattering of greenery will also help. 

If you'd rather experiment with a darker take on stone, go with a mid greige like Pumice H487. Unlike other greiges, this hue leans closer to grey than brown, making it a go-to option for anyone looking to add some stone-inspired character to their spaces. 

Light and fresh, this smooth hue is suitable for rooms like bathrooms and bedrooms. It'll pair well with white accents, although darker stones and richer greiges also work nicely. 

If you're using this colour to decorate a living space, think about adding dark natural accents to your space. Mid-century furniture made from materials like teak will make a welcome addition to any room coated with this inspiring shade. 

When decorating a more intimate space like a reception room or dining space, warmer stone colours can produce incredible results. We recommend Calcite K487 if you're looking for a more elegant alternative to standard grey. 

This stone paint colour technically falls into the greige category. However, because it leans closer to brown than grey, it can also be added to a stone-inspired palette. 

If you enjoy entertaining, this hue is ideal for elevating a dining space. If your room benefits from a high ceiling, use this colour liberally to paint your walls, then turn to a vibrant off-white when coating skirting boards, coving and decorative cornices. 

Some stone colours are well-suited to minimalist interiors, while others can bring passion and energy to your decor. Castle J484 definitely falls into the latter camp.

At first glance, this colour looks like a warm greige. However, with plenty of earthy character and more than a hint of dusky pink and lilac, it'll make a fine addition to a stone colour scheme.

This colour is an effective choice for bedrooms and smaller living spaces. When selecting secondary colours, think about using jewel tones to achieve a more elegant decor scheme.

Here's another gorgeous neutral we know you'll love. Claystone V846 brings together the best qualities of stone and greige, giving you a shade that will add warmth and character to any room. 

This paint colour is rich, but it's not so vibrant that it will overwhelm your interiors. You can use it on its own, or alongside darker and lighter tones to produce a stunning tonal effect. 

To make a statement, use something like a medium brown to paint fireplace surrounds or feature walls. If you want to brighten things up, think about using an alabaster grey. 

Where Will Stone Colour Paint Work Best?

As with other neutrals, stone paint colours can be put to good use in just about any room. If you're undecided about which design trend to embrace, prepping your interiors with a muted stone colour scheme will get you off to a great start.

In bedrooms, a soft stone shade will create a serene space you can relax in. You can complete the look with luxurious fabrics and natural accents.

Richer stone hues are also effective in living spaces. If your lounge is on the large side, you can even experiment with multiple shades of stone.

Dining spaces and kitchens can both be elevated with a stone palette. Use a greige-infused hue to paint kitchen walls kitted out with white cabinets. When decorating dining rooms, go for an earthier tone that's underscored with brown and grey.
