NEUTRAL COLOR

COMPLIMENTARY TO: all

Symbolizing balance, neutrality, and sophistication, gray is associated with wisdom, stability, and introspection.

Gray’s connection to the earth element reflects grounding and structure, providing the middle ground between extremes. Neither too bright nor too dark, gray offers a calm space for reflection and a steadying presence in the creative process. It invites contemplation and subtle expression, giving ideas a foundation from which to grow without overpowering them.
