What Does the Color Gray Mean?

The color gray is conveys a lack of emotion, detachment, neutrality and impartiality; in other words, a fence-sitter. From a color psychology perspective, gray is the color of compromise as it's neither black nor white, it is the transition between two non-colors. The closer gray gets to black, the more dramatic and mysterious it becomes. The closer it gets to silver or white, the more illuminating and lively it becomes. Being both motionless and emotionless, gray is solid and stable, creating a sense of calm and composure, relief from a chaotic world. The color gray is subdued, quiet and reserved. It does not stimulate, energize, rejuvenate or excite.

Color Psychology Characteristics of Gray

True gray is the one color that’s been shown to have no dominant psychological characteristic. Nonetheless, it can still be powerfully suggestive. Gray is modern and sophisticated, a hue that has worked well for technology and luxury brands. Its inherent subtlety can be both a strength and a weakness. Skillful use of gray evokes power and sophistication; it is a crisp slate on which bold concepts thrive. Gray is the color of ominous but powerful weather—a cloak over the existence of color rather than the absence of it. It has a profound effect on the colors around it, working both to balance tones and establish negative space in the place of white.

Positive Meanings:

Timelessness
Neutrality
Reliability
Balance
Intelligence
Strength

Negative Meanings:

Lack of confidence
Dampness
Depression
Hibernation
Lack of energy
Blandness

Gray Sign Vinyl for Your Machine

No matter what type of professional or commercial vinyl cutter you own, you can be sure it will cut any of the Purple Sign vinyl we sell. Listed below is a brief list of some of the more popular electronic cutting machines you can use with our vinyl:

Roland
Jaguar
Graphtec
Any other cutter/plotter

In general, standard blades can be used with most varieties of sign vinyl although we do recommend a 60 degree blade for reflective and glow-in-the-dark sign films. As always, be sure to check your down force and speed settings before cutting any film types you have not used before to ensure optimal weeding

Great product, however....

I have been using this product, Oracal 951 for years. The product itself is great...however, they way Rvinyl packages it left a portion of the vinyl unusable. The tape they used to keep it rolled, is too tacky for this delicate vinyl. When carefully removing the tape, which doesn't come off in one piece, a section of the vinyl was torn.

I was in a bind, my normal supplier was out of stock, so I came back to Rvinyl. If first impressions mean anything...in my case it wasn't good.
