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 balanced gray that can integrate flamboyant contrasts.

Steely gray is at the junction between gray and blue. Its pigments are sensitive to the surroundings, which means that light colors next to this gray will look even brighter, warm colors will seem to be even richer, and soft ones will look even gentler. Steely gray is like a chameleon: its achromatic appearance under warm lighting shifts to a metallic, blue shade in cooler lighting. Woodwork gleams like gold against such a backdrop, and whites look even brighter and sharper by contrast.
