Creating the Ideal Palette: Part 4

In the fourth and final installment of our "Creating the Ideal Palette"' series, we analyze the psychological properties of Black, White, and Grey - colors you may consider for any interior or exterior painting projects for your home or business. The tone of a room can be dramatically impacted by something as simple as wall color choice. Below, we present the final three colors.  

BLACK

Paint it Black! Black, a serious and somber color, doesn't always have to be about doom and gloom. It can also represent elegance and sophistication. While black threads can help make you look mysterious and...thinner, hints of black in a room's decor can add subtle beauty, making it visually engaging. Black is used best in modern spaces and works well when combined with white and grey tones. 

WHITE

White, the combination of all colors from the color spectrum, is refreshingly clean and fresh. White is perfect for creative spaces, and especially creative spaces for the little ones, because it evokes spirituality and peace. The kids may still make a mess, but at least you can cool off in a soothing atmosphere.  

GREY

Grey can be a tricky color to work with, but that certainly shouldn't dissuade you from trying. Because grey is neither here nor there, it can often seem flat; the room may feel like it lacks energy.  Grey can, however, be used effectively to make smaller spaces feel larger, an issue we discuss on our latest blog, "Grey: The Elegant Neutral". We'd love to hear your opinion on the matter!
