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.

A noble gray, velvety to the touch and as colorful as a shadow.

In Ostwald’s classic gray scale with eight gradations, Granite gray is the third hue after black. As an intermediate shade of gray, it is an excellent choice for wall surfaces behind light-colored furniture. This velvety gray is particularly effective with porcelain, marble, ochre, light-colored wood, light leather, or rustic floorboards. By deliberately placing light, warm, or soft objects before dark, cool, or more solid backgrounds, the designer shifts the lighter, warmer, or softer object into a more beautiful light.
