Why pick a grey wallpaper?

Grey is the quiet middle between black and white. It doesn't compete with colourful app icons, it looks at home with both light and dark appearance, and it suits any case or phone colour. Lighter greys feel soft and minimal; darker slate and graphite tones feel moodier without going fully black.

The wallpapers on this page were sorted by their main colour, measured from the picture itself, so each one is grey across most of the screen: foggy landscapes, stone and concrete textures, silver satin and soft gradients. For darker pictures see the black wallpapers; for clean, simple designs browse the Minimal category and our guide to minimalist wallpapers.

Gray wallpaper questions

Is it "grey" or "gray"?

Both spellings mean the same colour: grey is common in British English and gray in American English. This page lists every wallpaper whose main colour is grey.

Are these grey wallpapers free?

Yes. Every wallpaper here is free to download and use on your own iPhone, with no sign-up.

Does a grey wallpaper save battery like a black one?

Not really. On an OLED iPhone only black pixels are switched off, so a grey wallpaper uses about as much power as other colours of the same brightness. Pick a black wallpaper if saving power matters most.

Which size should I download?

Pick your iPhone model on the wallpaper's page and download that file. It matches your screen pixel for pixel, so iOS doesn't zoom or crop it. The 4K file works on any other phone.
