Grey color in interior designer color palette/ Серый цвет в палитре дизайнера интерьера

Now and then when we work on interior design we need to add an individual unusual color accent or create whole interior in one colour gamut. Color and shape with decoration - is a foundation of visual perception of interior by humans. Color in interior design is universal language in conversation artist with audience.

In previous article we talked about white color in interior design: Color palette ofinterior designer: let's say... white! (the later article Black color in color palette of interior designer). Let's talk about another achromatic color - grey color. To tell the truth - Grey is a Great Color )) It has thousand tints: warm and cold, soft or more intensive, pulsating and evident or more eluding, evanescent, ephemeral like mist or dream. Many interior designers like grey color extremely )) It's very aesthetic and elegant color. Grey is a gratifying color for interior designer ))

Using grey color you always get perfect match of colours. Grey and another chromatic color - is the classic color combination and will never date. But grey color must be alive, must breathe, mustn't be simple or primitive. I mean impressionistic tradition to impress white, grey or black color. Impressionist never used primitive color mixes. As a matter of fact his "achromatic" color wasn't colourless light, it was universe of fine tints and subtle color nuances. Let's say Edgar Degas - "The Dance Class", "Ballet Rehearsal", "Three Dancers in an Exercise Hall" or "In a Café" - they are incredible masterpieces, a symphony of grey color tints. In avant-garde and suprematist painting we can find the same practice. The well known Kazimir Malevich painted Suprematist Composition "White on White" and "Black Suprematic Square". And of course Malevich didn't create plain white or simple black color. Malevich carried out several repetition varietys of "Black Square". Now we know about four versions of "Black Square", which differ in pattern, texture and color. It's always black squares, but they are not just simple black, they are "witchcraft" of black, they are conglomeration of suprematic and philosophical ideas.

Grey color associates with the equilibrium, stability, wisdom, judiciousness, rest, scientific and technological advance, Information Technologies (IT), Space, twilight, mystique deep, dream, sorcery.

Color palette of interior designer: let's say... white!/ Цветовая палитра дизайнера интерьера: белый!

Sometimes working on interior we extremely need to add an essential detail, an accent, something like a figurative or conceptual gesture. Colors - is a "protagonist" of visual perception of humans. Occasionally we suffer hard trying to search for some aesthetically color or "colourless" (I mean achromatic color) details. Interior designer - is a real artist with own color palette. Every color in a context of interior become an element of semiotics conversation. Color is in combination with shape and style of dominant objects like a sentence of meta-visual language whitch can help to give all details of artistic conception of interior.

Sometimes we use strict and evident colors, sometimes delicate and soft, sometimes simple or complicated colors, easy like motes or saturated like an ocean, delicious and emotional or chaste style colors and so on. For example: bright pink and dazzling mediterranean blue or champagne, dusty rose with olive brown pastel and dusty green, soft celadon green etc.

Let me demonstrate some notes which help in your creative work and experiments. They will contain wonderful samples of furniture, lighting, accents and other elements of visual language of interior designing (various styles).

So, let's start! Today let's say... white! )) White is really the most common color. We widely used white furniture and accessories (white objects) in our work. Everybody knows that white color produced by the combination of all colors of visible spectrum. It's a "well of life" for all tints, magic artistic instrument absorbing or giving birth every other color. Personally, I associate white color with radiation in evolution of the Early Universe in context with The Big Bang cosmology theory. About 379,000 years after the Big Bang and start expansion of the Universe radiation decoupled from matter. This event shocked me: the birth of the physical world; electrons and nuclei combined into atoms of hydrogen and radiation continued through space unimpeded (relic radiation).

But let us return to the question where we started. The white color is an "ideal" color as a synthesis color. It's associates with the daylight, the Other worlds, purity, innocence, harmony, peace, birth and so on. In Kabbalah the white color associates with pleasure, happiness and absolution. In Indian tradition white is the color of Brahmins; they considered that Brahma was born in a white lotus. In Islam, white color belongs to Allah.

The white color - is a perfect background which at first sight can collect together scattered elements. On the other side a separate white accent can express particular idea, can be a joke in a game of artist and onlooker or be the final chord of a complex composition involving many figures.
