Dove grey is a grey color that typically has a subtle hint of pink or blue.
This means it's not just a plain, neutral grey. The addition of either pink or blue undertones gives it a softer, more complex character compared to a purely achromatic grey. Think of the soft, muted color of a dove's feathers – hence the name.
Here's a breakdown:
- Base Color: Grey
- Undertones: Subtle hints of pink or blue. (Note: it is generally not both pink and blue).
While the general consensus is that dove grey has either pink or blue undertones, the specific shade can vary slightly. Some manufacturers or designers might lean more heavily into the pink or blue, resulting in a warmer or cooler dove grey, respectively. When choosing a "dove grey" paint or fabric, it's always best to view a sample to ensure it meets your aesthetic preferences.
