Psychology of a grey colour is very intriguing. On one hand it is quit and elegant and on another its unemotional and could be considered as boring. However, I believe that darker shades represent mystery while lighter colours illuminate features. Grey is considered the colour of stability, so if you wear a balanced amount of grey it could help to have a sense of calm, and provide a relief from chaos and busy schedule.
But don’t forget, there are visual and symbolic effects of colour on human behaviour. It is almost biological reaction to colour to ensure survival and wellbeing, for example we know that the food is not spoiled and that it is getting colder outside, so we need to wear a coat. The same goes for the colours, humans have unconscious reaction to colour.
We may all start feeling the blues when the sky is grey. It goes the same for wearing pure grey colours, it may come across that you lack confidence and have fear of exposure. It may also create lack of energy and feelings of depression. That’s why I recommend wearing bright colours with great such as red blue, green or yellow. Another good way is to mix and match grey with leather, jeans and white colours.
My top 5 ways to wear grey:
2. Wear grey with stripes.
3. Mix and match grey with leather or jeans.
4. Bring focus to the dress shape not the colour.
5. Wear grey with black.
