The shift away from white and pale grey kitchens to earthy kitchen colours has been building for several seasons, and what has replaced it is a family of colours that share a common quality: they have been pulled back from their purest, most saturated form. These are not clean greens or true browns. They are greens that have been quieted with grey, browns that carry a hint of purple or green, reds that read more terracotta than fire engine. The shorthand for them, dirty colours, is accurate: they are tones that have been made more complex by mixing them with their complements or with neutral greys.
