The color gray, or grey, is produced when two complementary, or directly opposite, colors of the color spectrum are mixed, for example yellow and violet, or black and white. Gray is regarded as a neutral color, and there are many different shades of gray that appear as you transition from all-white to all-black. Gray can also be blended with small amounts of color, like yellow or blue, to produce "warm" or "cool" shades.
Gray in fashion is a muted color, meant to blend in and add a naturally dark and mysterious look in an inconspicuous manner. Gray garments tend to be dressier and more conservative, and thus color is widely used in men's and women's business attire, especially in the darker shades. Light gray is also a popular color for casual skirts and sweaters, as I allows for garments in brighter colors to stand out. As a base color for an outfit, gray signals a departure from casual jeans and layers, and the color is rapidly gaining popularity among designers, who are catering to the currently more reserved and somber mood in the general population.
Gray has always had a place in fashion and design, and is currently experiencing an upswing in demand. Whether you are creating a stylish suit, formal slacks or just a winter scarf, gray can lend a formal, distinguished look to any garment.
