Sisältö
Dark grey RAL 7021 is the main colour of Helsinki
Dark grey is the colour of endurance and hardness. Dark structures frame space more efficiently than lighter structures, because they contrast more strongly with their surroundings. It is easier to create the effect of unity in a space with darker hues, because dark structures are more noticeable than light structures.
