Meaning of the Colour Gray
Gray is seen as a neutral colour that provides balance. The positive side of gray indicates reliability, security, maturity, intelligence and wisdom. The flip side of this is that it is seen as conservative, boring, indecisive and depressing, particularly when used in too large a quantity. It doesn't stimulate, energise, rejuvenate or excite, like some other colours do.
