soft grey
In the translation it would probably sound nice to say "contrasting shades of soft grey and chocolate brown"

EleoE
: It's not grey/gray. / I already did, agreeing with Lidia, is just dove. Dove-grey/gray is grigio tortora, which is another colour. And soft grey/gray is not dove. http://www.wordreference.com/iten/tortora

Rachel Fell
: best choice in this context - it may be a colour that's a bit beige/buff/etc., but such detail isn't needed here, and soft grey covers a generous spectrum

Discussion
perché dai 3 disagree aggiungendo dei link da cui risulta che la risposta sulla quale dissenti è buona? I tuoi link dicono che "tortora" è una tonalità di grigio. Se veramente per te "non é grigio", allora cos'è?
