The gray is a cold, neutral and timeless color. It does not cause emotions like the rest, it maintains a balance because it represents totally opposite colors – black and white. This color is quiet and reserved, does not stimulate, does not give energy and does not cause the excitement of the one who perceives it. Although associated with maturity and responsibility, it will never be the center of attention or leader in the color spectrum, precisely because of its neutrality and calmness.
