Profressional

The classic professional attire? It is, of course, the gray flannel suit--and gray is therefore central to the professional color scheme. Gray is a serious,sober, no-nonsense neutral that communicates that th wearer is willing to give up an ego-driven sense of self to be part of a greater "team." It is anonymous, silent, and receptive.. all qualities that make it an ideal ground on which to lay other, brilliant colors. There is an industrial aspect to the professional color scheme, making it a popular interior color scheme for office buildings. This is a color scheme that suggests an analytical, emotionally cool atmosphere; it is distinctively of the 20 th century, and is in fact instantly identifiable as the color scheme used in posters and graphichs since the early 1900s (for example, in early Soviet atr and graphics) An achromatic palette allows any color present to take on additional vibrancy. In the fine arts, the professional color scheme has often been used for abstact paintings; in representation work, it often indicates a wet, foggy, or stormy environment.
