Arquerite
Arquerite begins as a grey color on paper, then shifts with every surface, shadow and neighboring material. It appears in Grey, placing it within several distinct decorating stories rather than a single fixed look. The manufacturer's description below offers one reading; the room imagery leaves space for your own.

Color Codes
Manufacturer description
Little Greene Arquerite 250 is a mid-depth grey with a slight cool blue cast visible in its #8c8c91 colour value. It reads as a composed, low-saturation neutral rather than a stark or silvery grey, giving walls clear definition without making them feel dark. In north-facing rooms, the blue-grey edge may be more noticeable, while warmer daylight and lamplight can make it appear closer to a straightforward softened charcoal. Use Arquerite on living room walls, study cabinetry, or a painted hallway to ground lighter finishes. It sits well beside crisp off-whites, pale stone, brushed nickel, black metal, and natural oak.
