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 gentle gray, as taciturn and silent as weathered cliffs.

In his writings, Le Corbusier referred to gray as the color of serenity and as the antithesis to dynamic colors such as orange. A substantial number of gray wall samples found in his architecture testify to the importance that he attributed to this color. The reference this gray is based on corresponds to the second paint layer of a wall sample taken from the salon of the Villa La Roche. It was a glue paint pigmented with French chalk and ivory black. Reconstruction yielded this – a great color of discretion.
