Don’t know when
The concept of “advanced gray” is getting more and more attention and welcome
High-grade ash in recent years
Swept across various fields of fashion, design and home furnishing
Once the design is shown, everyone is hooked
It was originally from the fashion circle
Its neutrality and stability give people a sense of endless charm
In interior design
Design rooms with high-grade gray
Let the inhabitants feel soft and quiet, eternal
People just want to plunge into this gentle town.

Then
What is high-end gray?

01. What is premium gray

Hear a grey word
Presumably many people will think it’s just gray “
Is the gray deity
But in fact, “advanced gray” is not really gray
It refers to the low purity of colors
Just a color
You can simply understand it as light gray
Or more like and close to gray
The tone purity presented by it is low
Soft and calm
It seems monotonous, but it is rich

It is just a general term for a color system
Divided into 40 colors and 25 colors
Are in the senior gray family
The color elements are extremely rich
Each level is interdependent to achieve overall balance

There are two explanations for “advanced” in the encyclopedia:

1. Close to gray
   Not a dead series
   But has a charm,
2. Try to make every color live in harmony
   Color matching should be beautiful
   Even show a certain tendency of atmosphere

The famous Italian master of grey tone
George Morandi behaved like “high-grade gray” like this

Advanced ash also has many colors
Adding cold and warm together
Brown gray tone, yellow gray tone
Blue gray tone, pink gray tone, etc.
Morandi ’s paintings tell us clearly
In fact, high-grade ash also has a difference
These colors have lost their vivid saturation
But the harmonious mid-tone is high-grade gray

▲ Morandi color system, that is, “advanced gray” tone, mostly low saturation gray tone and middle tone

We are talking about high-grade gray, it is not just a color
It’s just a noun that modern people define color
Not only in modern times
In ancient China
The use of high-grade ash is also outstanding
Under the strong cultural atmosphere of China
Formed a true Chinese traditional color
It has a long history and a solid accumulation
Each color is pure, high-grade and beautiful

In particular, the Song Dynasty used high-grade ash
Has reached the point of perfection

Northern Song Dynasty Liu Zonggu’s “Yaotai Steps to the Moon”

The colors commonly used by the Song Dynasty people
Put into the NCS color system for analysis
We can clearly see whether it is in the hue circle or in the color scale
You can see the characteristics of the Song Dynasty

In the early Qing Dynasty, the early color system was also formed
Hundreds of years before Morandi
And used in life and production
At that time in clothing, interior decoration and mural painting
The color used is calm
It also interprets the high-level sense of color application

In the context of the Qing Dynasty,
In the hit drama “Yanxi Raiders”
A large amount of ink and tone based on the beautiful Chinese colors
The entire set and costumes of Yanxi
All present a sense of harmony and stability
Pure but not gorgeous, gray but not dirty

The whole drama is dark in color and low saturation
Presents a low-key yet luxurious picture texture
Captured many viewers’ eyeballs
Set off a wave of Morandi

Blue brick ash everywhere
And the costumes of the heroine Wei Yingluo
Belongs to this color family

But in fact, the so-called high-level gray “advanced”
There is no distinction between high and low
Only the depth or the difference between warm and cold
With the development of society, the modern aesthetic level has improved
People have a high saturation of various red and green colors
Aesthetic fatigue has begun

Modern space color design
More and more abandoned those highly saturated colors
It is the color design of the modern space that is the trend
The most important thing about the use of color is collocation
No color exists independently
All have to be matched to balance the entire space state
To achieve advanced elegance

Advanced gray is like this
Simple, pure and comfortable
Not showing the mountains and dew, wantonly
But can focus on the sight with extremely fashionable and sharp color
Presents a stunning texture experience
