Journal #1 – Color

The color gray means many things to me and truly is it the most used color in my life, currently. All hues and tones that relate to the color grey spark interest in me. It is one of my favorite colors, because for me it’s hard to choose just one. Grey is a very monotone color, therefore it can match with any other color, you just have to find the right shade of grey to go with the color you just have to find the right shade of grey to compliment the other color. My entire room is painted grey and even the jacket I am wearing today is grey. The color makes me feel grounded and calm. It resembles peace, in a way. Colors like orange or yellow tend to give off ‘loud’ impressions but grey has an undertone that just instills calmness into the viewer. It may be taken as a ‘boring’ color, but I believe it is a strong, stable color. Grey also goes best with minimalist colors and decor. I enjoy the minimalist lifestyle and it’s decor. You can tell by how my room is set up, I get inspiration from various mood and art boards centered around the color grey and various accent colors that compliment it the most. I like to keep grey as a ‘centered’ color in my life, because it can hold its ground alone or with a mixture of other colors such as white, black, beige, cream tones, and golds or silvers. It offers a intricate touch of sophistication, and it is a great transition color to represent my shift into adulthood.
