Everything about the color Gray

Gray is a mixture of black and white. It is timeless and versatile, making it a great partner to a wide variety of colors. It is associated with cloudy days and, as a result, is not the cheeriest color. Gray, however, is often used in interior design to create a contemporary and sophisticated feel.
Like most other neutrals, gray can be combined with almost any other color in the visible spectrum. In interior design, it is often combined with taupes or misty blue. For a serious feel, combine gray with white and black—its parent colors. The gray hex code is #808080.
