Each color is unique in its own way. They all express something unique and they each have characteristics that no other color can replicate. But sometimes one color is simply not enough to express exactly what you want and to create the atmosphere you want. For that you have to combine.The possibilities of combining all the colors are amazing and they open up a whole new dimension. There are combos out there that capture the essence of a décor and take it to a completely new level.

But these combinations of color are not always successful. Some are better than others. Some are better at expressing passion and affection while others are cold and a little more detached. Depending on what you’re wishing to achieve, the colors you need to use are different.

For example, the yellow and grey combo is a very interesting one. One color is a neutral and the result of combining black and white, the two timeless shades that never cease to be elegant and bold. The other one is the color of the sun, a very bold and vibrant tone but still a soft shade.

The intensity of both colors is important and can influence the final result in many different ways. A pale yellow combined with a soft grey results in a calming and serene décor, perfect for bedrooms. A bold shade of yellow combined with a darker grey becomes a stronger mix and would look beautiful in the living room. But it all depends on the personal preferences. Let’s take a look at a few interiors featuring this exact combination of colors and see the results.
