colour: grey

Welcome back to Evi's blog


Ok, time for this weeks colour post. Grey has always come across to me as rather neutral, and is doesn't inspire in me any emotion at all. Let's see what photo's we have for this week.


First up we have some driftwood and stones from the seashore. Typical of what you are likely to see around the coastline of Tasmania. Sandy beaches as well, but also a lot of stone.


Ominous grey cloud formations in the late afternoon sky. Don't know where this photo was taken. Probably on one of our road trips around Tassie.


Here we have fairly girl poking her head out of the window, of one of our friends gypsy wagons. Love the grey weathered timber.


Some stunning flowers, but I'm at a loss as to where or what.


Not to sure what this next photo is, but I would say it's been taken in a graveyard or church, on one of our many road trips around Tassie.


You can see how lush and green the Tasmanian landscape can be after a good dose of rain. I think this photo was taken at a place called Cressy.


Last we have a flock of native ducks swimming on the dam at the back of our property. All kinds of animals live there from time to time, including platypus and swans.



Gray is the true neutral color. Its energy imparts void, emptiness, lack of movement, emotion, warmth and identifying characteristics. Because of this, gray can be restful. 


It has a detached and isolated feeling. Gray can have a cooling effect when placed next to other more vibrant colors. It has a stabilizing effect, making vibrant colors stand out while muting their vibration.


Put some grey in your life when you want:


to emphasize your willingness to comply
a neutral, non-invasive feeling
to reduce the intense energy of another colour
to feel detached or isolated


Hope you've enjoyed this weeks colour post


Love to all
