Gray –
Gray is the quiet and staid color. It is associated with reliability, intelligence and restraint. Because the sky and bodies of water are often gray, it is also associated with contemplation, sadness and depression. And because hair grays as one ages, gray also is associated with wisdom, dignity and maturity. Although usually not thought of as a “natural” color, many animals have gray fur, especially dogs, cats and sheep, and there are several species of birds. In the twentieth century, gray was revered by Abstract Expressionist painters(Long, 2011, p.39) |
