Quiet Backgrounds: How ktCOLOR's Gray Shades Highlight Your Designs

Mid-range grays create muted, shadowed backgrounds that heighten the appeal of brighter and more colorful objects in their vicinity. The natural gray shades from ktCOLOR do more than this: made from premium natural pigments, they offer a richness and texture that synthetic grays from standard mixing machines simply cannot match. The elegant, timeless and velvety ktCOLOR grays are perfect for creating subtle, stylish, and understated backgrounds.

Like gray velvet in a jewelry case – objects in space will glow like lustrous pearls.

The reference this color is based on is in the middle of a dark-to-light series of gray wallpapers selected by Le Corbusier. Analysis confirmed that it was made with bone black and lead white. Replacing lead white with Champagne chalk yields this color, which is as reliably warm and vibrant as all blends of velvety ivory black and Champagne chalk are. The all-embracing warmth persists even when the lighting is cold and artificial. This gray makes surfaces look shadowed, and lighter or more colorful objects look brilliant against the velvety gray background.
