A really important aspect of the color gray is that it can very easily lean toward a certain color (e.g., greenish gray vs. purpley gray, "warm and cool"), and a true neutral is rare (often expensive). This is important to consider if you want to match grays within your wardrobe, and it also explains why some grays look bad with your skin or with certain garments.
Thank you Cindy...I dont wear grey because I am a warm blonde with light warm skin. I love coral..my best pink so I am going to try a grey blazer over a coral blouse before buying...usually I wear it with navy to brighten navy.
When I let my hair color go natural (some grey, some a surprising dark neutral after coloring it warm for years) I would have thought wearing grey would be a no no. But I get so many compliments when I wear grey and it’s how I found out I was a Soft Summer after wearing Autumn colors for years. My favorite is heathered grey with a dreamy soft pink. Grey is a perfect neutral for me.
I love all shades of grey, especially anthrazit. I love to combine grey with lemon-green - it looks great and fresh. Another combination is grey with silver-shining materials, as silver silk for example. It really shines and looks very elegant in the evening. Lots of love from Germany, Yvonne 🙋 ❤️
My favourite colour to wear with grey is mustard, it think they look so classy together. I also love grey with bright red, burgundy and deep forrest green.
Grey is my go to - I love it, and now that I have white hair, it is even more perfect. I have to make sure it's a light and bright grey, or a charcoal. Muted pinks and lavenders look wonderful, but my favorite is maroon (or fig as I like to call it!),and of course, black and white. Wish I was able to find more shoes and bags in shades of grey!
I have always loved gray with pink, and my very favorite scarf is gray and yellow. My standard work uniform is gray trousers paired with a solid color blouse or sweater. It’s nearly foolproof and so polished. Thank you for the very informative video-- now I better understand why I like gray so much!❤️😊
Wow! You gave me so many ideas AND I don’t need to buy anything! I love green and will definitely put it with grey. Keep doing these. I get so many ideas on how to stretch my wardrobe.
Since it's so neutral, grey is also a great option for me if I want to play with textures. Smoother and stiffer fabrics tend to appear very formal to me while light and fluffy fabrics seem more playful and ethereal, especially when paired with pastels.
Grey is such a beautiful and sophisticated color. Now that I have let my hair go to it's natural grey color, I now wear grey quite a bit. Wearing all grey from head to toe works really well for me. I have to wear a facemask at work every day, and so I have even purchased grey face masks to go with my predominately grey outfits. Hey, you gotta, do what you gotta do! Thanks Audrey for all your great content. I'm especially loving the Classic Color Combinations series! Your outfit ideas and color ideas have inspired me to put together existing items in my closet that I never would have thought to combine.
I feel both my coziest and calmest when I'm wearing combinations of black and gray, and gray head-to-toe feels so good. A light gray knit top, ideally in a dreamy material like silk or wool, paired with trousers or jeans in a darker gray is a magical outfit. Then add a pop of color via a scarf. Perfection.
Grey is my „number one“ neutral. Since im blond and warm toned the right warm grey or a dark grey works better for me than any navy. Black is too strong for light skin and I don‘t wear it any longer. So your proposals are beautiful and I like them all. Thank you so much. 🙂👍
I love grey. However, now that I've gone grey, the wrong shade of grey washes me out. So, I've narrowed my grey sweaters (3) and blouses (2) to keep what worked. I'm going to miss the lightest tinted grey tops, but that's the price for no longer dying my hair. I have a long grey coat I'll never part with because it matches everything. I also have 2 pairs of grey knee high boots (leather and suede) I love to wear all winter. Needless to say, I really liked this video. I love grey & camel, grey & purple, grey & olive grn, grey & sage grn, grey & gold jewelry. 🙂🤍🖤
Grey is like a quieter, calmer version of black or white. They're all neutrals but it's like grey says - hey, lets all just meet in the middle and chillax. There's so much contrast between black or white and many of the colors you might pair those with, while grey is muted without being boring. It's the perfect balance of extremes when you need that. Great video as usual and I am ready to run to my closet to start mixing up pieces!
There is something very soothing about grey. I also like the way you split the screen in this video and showed us examples of the colors while you were explaining on how to pair them. Very nicely done.
I love gray too. It was natural that you like gray with stone since you often shoot in front of a gray and stone colored building. It's a wonderful backdrop and the color combo is perfect. I agree that it pairs well with every other color and that's why I have so much of it in my wardrobe. Some of my favorite pairings are gray with blue and gray with pink.
I have very fair skin/grey hair. I've found lighter greys wash me out and darker greys have the contrast I need. I think that's also something important to consider... which shade of grey goes with your coloring.
Grey is my least favorite color to see or wear (it often washes me out), but you've helped me see it in a new light! I do own a couple of grey pieces that I often overlook, but these color combinations have been really inspiring. I will have to try some of them and also look for my most flattering greys. Thank you, Audrey!
My favorite association with grey is lilac or purple. You described beautifully what I feel when I look at these colours. I love this series of color combinaison
Grey is my favourite neutral. It truly works with every colour. My favourite combinations are grey with burgundy and grey with purple. Grey on grey always makes me feel polished and classy without feeling overdressed. It's a very cozy colour too. Grey knits and grey jeans always feel right. For a festive outfit, grey works so well with silver! Anything sparkly with silver combined with grey literally looks like a cloud with a silver lining. ☺️ ☁️ I'll have to add more pink and white to my wardrobe because those examples you showed look so dreamy.
Charcoal is my grey also medium grey. I found the light greys I thought would work for me, don't. My favourite combination with charcoal is a mustard yellow paired with a scarf I have that has both colours and some black. My hair is now a hazelnut with my silver showing through and silver-white streaks near my eyes.. I like it. Another favourite combination is a grey jacket I have with a burgundy turtleneck. I have a burnt orange sweater which I will try to combine thanks to your inspiration!
I’ve always loved gray, but I’m kind of self conscious wearing on top bc of sweat stains and such (something that happened when I was young). But I really want to try and I’m looking for a nice gray sweater for this winter season.
I don't wear a lot of grey but my living room demonstrates a combination that you spoke of. I have a grey couch and opposite it are two navy, velvet chairs. The accessories are blue and white porcelain pieces, with other items sprinkled in. I love the combination and it gives me a chance to showcase my porcelain collection. Love that you showed Beth Djalali as an example of grey and white. I have followed her channel for years and she has great style.
Expressed beautifully! I can be bold and sophisticated one day with the combo of gray and burgundy and softer, more feminine, with the combo of gray and soft pink! Thank you, Audrey, for reminding us of how fun it is to be a woman!❤️
My own wardrobe consists of charcoal grey and lighter grey pieces, so this video couldn't be more perfect to serve as inspiration! Thank you for continuing to make content like this, Audrey! 😊❤
This was interesting, Audrey, thank you. Last year, I replaced a black coat with a charcoal one, wanting to soften my face and like it much better with a blue scarf (this year) for my eyes. I'm paying more attention to color now.
Wow! This was great! I’ve already watched it several times… so many great references! You already know how special your videos feel so well organized… professionally prepared… it’s like opening a luxury high quality gift when watching your videos! Thank you!
My favorite grey combo is with pale pink ❤️ Also I think grey and yellow work really well together! Love this series Audrey and love your channel overall!!
I just bought a long wool charcoal grey coat and have paired it with a pink and grey plaid scarf. I love the feminine quality with the menswear inspired look of the coat. Thanks for a great video!
I was wowed by the lilac on gray, the gray and stone, and then the green as well. Maroon and gray is something i haven't seen but wow it looks high-end. 😍 You really have a great eye for color so thankyou for this series
I love this series about color, thank you for make great content. You have inspired me to try new color combos and now I feel never get bored with my closet.
Loved these combinations! Gray and soft pastels like baby blue/shell pink/pale yellow are so calming. And gray fabric also looks very beautiful when it's mixed with different fibers for that mélange effect that lends more texture to an outfit. It's also a perfect base for metallic accessories like jewellery and pairs impeccably with silk and leather.
Gray is one of my favorite winter colors. Thank you for your helpful hints about color combinations that can raise this neutral color to a more attractive level. Happy Holidays.🎄
Thank you! I already have a lot of grey as my soft neutral never thought of stone with it-genius idea. As my hair greys the colour is even more fun. The visuals were really helpful in this video a lot of work for you and appreciated.
I'm glad i found your channel and would like to say thank you for sharing helpful tips on how to be stylish through mindful choices; definitely learned that overpriced designer items do not necessarily make one look elegant or put together.
Really enjoyed this video - thank you. I've never liked grey but now... I think I need grey urgently! My faves are the pink/grey and purple/grey combo 👌
In the past year gray has appealed to me and bought gray shirt, pants, jeans, pea coat and jeans! Thank you for posting this! Makes all my pieces have more options in my mind! One of the reasons I bought gray pieces to add to my wardrobe is to create a monochrome outfit with gray ankle boots I love so much! I never go with trends! If cold shoulder tops are "out" I still wear them because I feel good and confident in them. ONE OF MY FAVORITE GRAY COBOS IS MAROON AND GRAY! IT IS LIKE THEY WERE MEANT FOR EACH OTHER! I love your channel! Have a great week!
My late 1950s long swing coat was ltwt. gray wool flannel with pale yellow satin lining. I was 12 or so and it was bought for an Easter, but I was able to wear it into h.s. years. Now, I look for greige. It matches my hair and just about any other colors I choose, and forces me to wear color.
I'm a very dark summer tipe with grey eyes, taupe hair and mid depth olive skin, basically 0 contrast level, and grey, especially lighter grey with a pinkish or lime tint, is my absolute favorite!
I'm so glad I rediscovered this video because although gray is one of my favorite colors, I've forgotten how to really play with it. Now I have some new ideas knocking around that I can't wait to try out. Thank you!

Thank you, Audrey. A deeper gray with a bright coral has always been one of my favorite combinations😍

For us with olive complexions (especially if you are wearing your hair natural gray!) Camel +Gray+red lip+sunglasses= Chic!
My favourite colour to wear with grey is mustard, it think they look so classy together. I also love grey with bright red, burgundy and deep forrest green.
Beautiful! I love how you also include men in your examples! Do more of it!
I receive many compliments when I pair gray with plum and purple colors.
My absolute favorite! Love grey with white or pale pink. Beautiful combination.
How about prints and patterns after you do all the colors?
Like houndstooth or polka dot
I don’t own a single grey piece but watching felt so good. Only observing the colour combinations is magical
Marvelous example photos & such helpful explanations!
Can you do a "How to wear turquoise"? I love your videos about color combinations!
Grey is my favorite neutral. If you think of it as light black it goes with any color.🖤
Grey is my go to - I love it, and now that I have white hair, it is even more perfect. I have to make sure it's a light and bright grey, or a charcoal. Muted pinks and lavenders look wonderful, but my favorite is maroon (or fig as I like to call it!),and of course, black and white. Wish I was able to find more shoes and bags in shades of grey!

Grey goes beautiful with white & pink of course - this is my favorite combination 👍
Great video! Gray and white! My favorite color combination! Thank you!
I look forward to this color combination videos. Thanks, Audrey.

I love wearing gray. Thanks for the inspiration of other ways to wear it.
You’ve really found some outstanding examples!!
I remember one autumn day i saw a wedding photoshoot where the color scheme was grey and orange. It was so perfect for an autumn wedding 🍁🍂
I LOVE grey and light pink lately
I think grey and yellow can have the same effect as grey and orange - lovely combination when done right
Grey is my „number one“ neutral. Since im blond and warm toned the right warm grey or a dark grey works better for me than any navy. Black is too strong for light skin and I don‘t wear it any longer. So your proposals are beautiful and I like them all. Thank you so much. 🙂👍
Oh I'm so excited I love love love grey and I adore adore you
I love grey! I love it with red.
Festive. ☃️
So many groutfits! Great job, Audrey!
Your hair looks amazing with that first gray sweater Audrey!

Thanks Audrey. I love grey. I'm a redhead with pale skin and I love mixing grey with black and with green.
love what you are wearing in this video
I love gray so this video was very helpful! Thank you!
I love wearing teal with gray! I think they compliment each other so well.
Thank you. I struggle with gray. My hair is med brown / highlighted blonde ive always thought I couldn't wear gray. I'm trying it.🥰
Another fantastic video! You gave me so many ideas! Thank you!!!!
you just made me want some grey in my closet. wonderful video. Thank you so much!!!
My fav color this winter is heather grey! Light, bright, elegant, and versatile!
Very inspiring, thank you! Have great holidays!)

Grey is my favorite color!
Mine, too! Especially, when combined with light pink or soft blue. 😍🥰
Grey is a favorite of mine especially since my hair color is platinum. Thanks for featuring grey as I feel it’s under utilized.
Love all your color combo videos. Please make video on color for handbag which lift the outfit or vice versa
French Grey is also a very beautiful grey, slightly warm, I do love a cooler grey though, paired with lavender😍😍😍it is chic and elegant 🥰
My favorite gray is a blue gray sometimes called slate gray. I also love charcoal gray. I usually wear gray with pink or bottle green .💕

I love Gray, can’t wait
Gary is my favorite neutral and color in my closet, I’m drawn to it when searching through photos. Thank you for outlining how versatile it is
Vanilla or Cream with Grey are a favorite combo for me.
I hear you Audrey. I love grey but am warm tone, and grey seems soo tricky. This video is timely!
I’ve always loved gray, but I’m kind of self conscious wearing on top bc of sweat stains and such (something that happened when I was young). But I really want to try and I’m looking for a nice gray sweater for this winter season.

Some great suggestions, Audrey. I wouldn’t have considered some of these combinations, but the photos show they can look very stylish.
YAY I LOVE GREY WITH (almost) EVERYTHING👌👏😊
