Color Psychology
Psychologically, gray stands for balance and restraint. Used well it creates a refined, calm atmosphere, but in large areas it can also feel dull and needs lightness variation to keep it lively. For this reason Brown Green Gray tends to leave a first impression of being calm and restrained in the viewer’s mind, and this emotional tone also defines the role it plays in design.
