Gray is the color of intellect, knowledge, and wisdom. It is perceived as long-lasting, classic, and often as sleek or refined. It is a color that is dignified, conservative, and carries authority

Grey was largely classified as the absence color for centuries. It was a hue that was relegated to functional objects like peasant clothing, battle ammunition and painted on basement floors to hide filth.  Only with the start of photography and towers did artists really capture the luxury of grey. Today it is complimented by other shades such as silver or bronze and evokes a sophisticated ambiance. Perfect for luxury interiors!
