The Grey Colour: The timeless colour enhances spaces of all types
Elegance and comfort in modern and classic spaces
In ancient times, grey used to symbolize wisdom, maturity and firmness. Its neutrality and flexibility made it a loved colour by several civilizations; these have used it to express elegance and understatement.
In the Roman Times, they often used grey on uniforms and attire of soldiers and the commonality, casting a stern, practical impression. Nowadays, grey is among the most popular colours in interior decoration. It is often combined with vivid colours for interior wall coating, offering a balanced, elegant result.
Concerning interior decoration, grey is a colour chosen to provide a modern, tasteful and uncluttered mood, highlighting current stylistic trends. It is a multi-faceted colour, as it can be used as the foundation to highlight other colours or it can act as the dominant element, exuding an air of elegance and minimalism. It can be ideally combined with warm shades such as pink, gold or brown, to create a warm, agreeable space. Furthermore, combined with cool shades such as blue or silver, grey leads to a trendier, classier result, ideal for urban, modern spaces.
Grey enhances sitting rooms with a serene ambience, paired to bright materials such as wood and metal. Being soft and discreet, it is often used to coat metal surfaces.
