Our house is 4 weeks from handoverand we are currently in the process of choosing our carpet (its happening after handover). we are trying to find a dark grey/charcoal but are having great difficulty doing so. we are wondering if this colour would look good or maybe a lighter grey? its so hard to tell from a 1/2 metre carpet sample. Wall colour - Natural White Tiles - Gloss white we are hoping to colour everything up with furnishings (red etc) as we can always change these in years to come. We are going for a contempory look. Our kitchen is charcoal and white aswell. Thanks for your help Re: Colour Help please 2Aug 27, 2008 10:22 am The dreaded grey/charcoal carpet question.
Mek (another forumite) and I have both had our dramas selecting grey carpet as all the grey carpets have an undertone (blue, red, green) and always seem to end up looking murky against other samples. Very hard to find a true grey. Both Mek and I ended up going for very dark (almost black) charcoal carpets to eliminate this problem. Dark will be harder to keep clean as it shows up all the fluff, etc but it will tie in more easily with any other furniture/decor choices. The lighter grey will limit you later because of the obvious undertone. I'm no expert but I'm just going by personal experience and from knowing Mek had the same experience. Bloody murky greys!! We both have threads floating around on this topic. I'm sure Ash (resident carpet guy) will try to talk you out of a dark carpet, but just ignore him. Jo I leave you to fend for yourself, figure things out yourself.

You now just have to decide on the shade, as Jo has said there are many out there.

Fingers crossed it will look OK 😀 2 7229 Thank you @.
