Grey is a color consisting of white and black and also considered to be a color without any color in it (cause’ that makes sense right?). Throughout the history, it has been associated as a color for the peasants. Mainly because wool is grey in its natural state, which the poor didn’t have money to dye. It wasn’t until the 18th century grey became a color of fashion and luxury. Around this time it was also the color for wigs, preferably in a light and dusty tone. The color was also popular for suits during the 20th century, and reached its peak during the 1950’s and 1960’s for men. Grey later became a color associated with politics and gave a solid impression. Today the color is popular from most fashion perspectives, whether you head for a classic fashion, a street inspired or a bohemian one - the non-color color will indeed be present!
As the color both comes in warm and cool tones (depending on if it’s mixed with yellow or blue), the color serves as a great foundation for matching. Both from the poppin’ colors we adore, pastels we love and random colors as beige and purple, it serves as a great companion on highlighting these colors. It’s also terrific when it comes to matching in scale as darker shades and brighter ones gives an interesting contrast.
Grey? Yay!
