What gray means in branding
The professional neutral that lets your logo do the talking. We stock 75 gray shades across 2,743 products.
What gray says about a brand
Gray signals balance, professionalism and restraint. It is what a brand chooses when it wants to look considered rather than loud, and it is the most common background color in technology and professional services. Its risk is going unnoticed: gray has no opinion of its own, so a weak logo on a gray product simply reads as nothing.
Who uses gray on branded merchandise
Gray and heather gray dominate corporate apparel and tech accessories because they suit every body, every office and every logo. Heather gray in particular sells well as staff kit that people actually wear outside work.
Before you send artwork
Printing on gray
Mid gray is the trickiest imprint ground we stock: it is too dark for a light logo and too light for a dark one. Check the ratio before committing, and expect heathered fabrics to soften and slightly mute whatever is printed on them.
Check your imprint against a specific shade in the contrast checker, or read the artwork guidelines for what a printer needs.
