How Colour Can Change Your Image: Grey Part 10

Every time I saw grey colours, it always gives me the idea of being formal and authoritative.  Good attires especially in doing a business.  So when I’m into a job interview, meeting prospective clients, I always choose this colour for professionalism appeal.

How Grey colour affects our image?

Grey – it conveys traits such as being respectable, balanced, calm, serene, versatile, non-committal, deceptive and uncertain.

When to Use Grey

1. In business, grey is the safest option.  Although less authoritative than black or navy, grey still present a smart, professional look without making too much of a statement.
2. When teamed up with strong colour accents such as red, violet or salmon.  This projects innovation and creativity while still being professional-looking.
3. When being interviewed for a job.
4. When negotiating as arbitrator in ay sort of dispute.
5. When wishing to project a balanced ad unbiased attitude.

When to Avoid Grey

1. When in gatherings where you want to be noticed.
2. If you are in the creative field.
3. When on dates which you hope will lead to marriage.  Grey may convey that you are not interested.
4. When working with children.  Grey usually makes children anxious.
5. When you need to make things happen.
