A testament to the design possibility of chartreuse and gray, Vertebrae Design + Architecture’s devoted an entire house to the pair. Splashes of chartreuse can be found throughout the home, while its exterior is painted in the sunny hue. Gray helps to keep the space feeling grounded.
Chartreuse and gray don’t have to be big patches of color. Play up the contrast with your favorite patterns for added texture. Love color? Consider introducing a warm color like pink or burnt orange for extra palette appeal.
Geometric shapes like our Star and Cross pattern also offer a chic color contrast.
Mosaics are also a beautiful way to give this eye-catching pair a stylish shoutout. Blend chartreuse, yellows, and grays in varying shades to achieve maximum depth.
