No color, all contrast
Black & Grey
Smooth grey wash and heavy contrast — realism, statuary, religious imagery and dark illustrative work.
Black and grey is all about value. With no color to carry the image, everything depends on the range between the darkest black and bare skin, and on the shading in between being genuinely smooth. Done well it gives you depth and realism that colour cannot.
It is the right call for portraits, animals, religious pieces and anything you want to feel quiet rather than loud. It also ages honestly — grey wash softens gradually rather than shifting the way some colors do.
