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.

Not at all boring and neutral, this is a gray brimming with life.

We see architecture once light strikes its surfaces and is reflected, refracted, deflected, or absorbed by them. We see white and yellow elements first, followed by medium tints, and finally very dark ones. This fact allows us to formulate a general rule for color design: use light colors to emphasize walls and objects, mild gray colors such as this one to make walls and objects less apparent, and dark colors to shift elements completely into the shadows. Gradations of light-to-dark grays create hierarchies of meaning.
