Good Morning!
Grey is the new white. You can see that white t-shirts haven’t necessarily gone out of style on guys and the black suits with white undershirts aren’t disappearing anytime soon for weddings and even funerals.
But grey is still the new white. If you look at the winter fashion, there will be some white, but white is a summer weather. You know, the weird white pants on men and okay white dresses on women going to the Bahamas for an anniversary vacation. Those folks.
You can see it. But grey really is the new white, especially for early Spring and the previous period of a rather odd Winter. Grey is something that you might want to consider not only mixing into your clothing and style but also into your own apartment.
You could think about shades of grey to layer the design scheme. White has a tougher time doing that. Grey also has a certain ability to allow a room to breathe. It is a neutral, relaxing color. Nothing too elevated or chic, simplicity can be its own sophistication if done right.
And if you combine and contrast with a variety of other colors, the room may even feel collected while being spacious. And insofar as I know, the painting over a grey background might as well be painting over a blank canvas, which can make the repurposing of the coloring scheme at later times of – ahem – colorful inspiration.
Also, grey has a certain vintage feel to it in addition to being relaxing, neutral. You can think about the old black and white films and how they portrayed people.
Even if the people are colorful, like in parts of that movie Pleasantville, the grey looks good and can stand out.
Grey: versatile, lovable, and better than white, whether clothing or interior decor and design…grey is the new white.
