Connected Gray

Connected Gray begins as a green color on paper, then shifts with every surface, shadow and neighboring material. It appears in Pottery Barn, 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.
