I have Douglas nickel and couldn’t agree more with A Lyre. It’s a wonderful choice but I’ve had the same experience. Definitely thought it was a warmer tone and now it’s this blue/violet monstrosity in my warm toned living room.

I just ordered the Douglas nickel and think it is a lovely warm grey (greige) color. My husband thinks it is too true a gray to match our beige rug and walls and other accents. Thoughts based on this pic? Definitely does not lean blue/violet in my space.

@40liberty how do you like the fabric otherwise? I liked this color very much in store. I was curious how it does with stains.

We have had the same sectional in Douglas Ice for 10 years in a different location and it has been amazing - we have 4 young kids and a dog and I swear it looks as good as the day we bought it.

You have it in both Ice and Nickel? Do you prefer one over the other? I would LOVE to see a photo of it in Ice too! 😃

ALyre- do you have photos of yours? I also thought it looked gray-ish in store but you’re not the first person to mention the purple tone. My living room is pretty warm so I do wonder 🫤

andrealynn10 - it is in a different house I cannot get to for a photo but it is a lovely light beige color and still somehow manages to hold up against kids and dogs.

@40liberty do you prefer the nickle or ice of the two? I can’t decide 😫

I would love advice on nickle or ice. My hubby like the nickle but I like the ice. we actually paused our delivery to reconsider. I ordered Ice. His concern is that we have a doodle and that dirt will show. thoughts on how ice withstands daily use... plus dog... plus

I have nickle and it withstands daily use beautifully. Spilled takeout Thai curry on it a couple weeks in and it came out easily with some dish soap and water. It was cleaned up within 5 min. I think ice would stand up to wear, but you may need to wash the cushions or spot clean frequently. They’re two very different colors, so I’d go with whatever works best with your living room. Otherwise it will stick out and you’ll regret it. In my opinion, you can always clean the cushions or put a throw down when the dog is on the couch. Replacing the wrong color choice would be very difficult.

Thanks for the comments above. I was actually told by the designer at C&B that it is the Charcoal that takes on the blue/purple hue NOT the Nickel.....this goes against what is said above so now I am really torn :-(

We have it and in the nickel and have had it for over 7 years and it has held up perfectly to our family of 5 and 2 dogs. And spilled wine…and cheetos fingers…and everything in between. Highly recommend. its a beautiful warm gray, no blue or purple undertones at all.
