Plain Color Bedding: Pick Your Palette in 13 Shades

The Classics run from crisp white and off-white through Milk Tea to two depths of grey, including Silver.

White solid color bed sheets give the clean, hotel-room finish; the beige tones sit easily beside wood furniture and warm flooring; grey stays understated and hides everyday wear better than either.

Ice Blue, Steel Blue Grey and a muted sage make up the cool tones.

Ice Blue is the brighter of the two blues and suits a well-lit room; Steel Blue Grey leans grey and settles comfortably against concrete, off-white or pale wood walls. The sage green softens the coolness if an all-blue room feels too stark.

Summer Peach, Periwinkle, Cream Yellow and a soft blush make up the gentler end of the palette.

Muted warm tones keep a room looking tidy while adding more warmth than a plain white bedding set — a good fit for Korean-style or cream-toned interiors.

The Macaroon range covers a tranquil blue, mint green, Cream Yellow and blush.

If a full colour set feels like too much, layer instead: a plain duvet cover in an accent shade over a neutral fitted sheet, with pillowcases picking up one of the two. The result reads richer than a single-colour set.
