Grey Wall Mural

Grey. A colour that is often associated with things like neutrality, boredom, mediocrity and timidity. How did that happen? Grey, such an amazingly wonderful colour to style with. Back in the middle ages, poor people wore grey, because it was the colour of undyed wool. Ever since then, the colour’s had to struggle. Yet time after time throughout history it succeeds as a culturally important and suitable colour. During the Renaissance, black was a noble colour to wear, and because white and grey coordinate well with black, grey came to play a more distinct and important role in fashion. It gained its place as one of the most used colours in modern time.
