Grey in clothes: the choice of introverts or insecure people?
Colors, which we surround ourselves, not only affect our mood and well-being, but also can explain a lot about our character. In previous articles, we talked about psychology and the most successful color combinations with red, green, black and blue colors. It's time to pay attention to grey.
Psychology of color

Grey is a real chameleon among colors. It adapts to the environment and your color type, changes its hue depending on the lighting and behaves differently with other colors of the palette.
Psychologists have an ambiguous attitude to this color. If black is associated with strong negative emotions, such as hatred and anger, then grey evokes a feeling of despondency and hopelessness. It is the color of depression, despair and detachment. Grey is often said to be a depressive color.
It’s also believed that people who prefer grey shades in the wardrobe, don’t want to attract attention. They try to blend in with their surroundings to be left alone. Such people avoid any problems and troubles, they are melancholic and unsociable.
However, not all experts are sharply negatively tuned to the influence that grey color has on us. Modest and shy people perceive this color as a shield that will protect them from public censure. Grey gives a feeling of calm and security.
