The characteristics of the platinum colour

To make the best use of this shade in an interior design project, it is important to dose it sparingly, to avoid creating an environment that is too flat. The particular brilliance of this shade of grey lies precisely in its mixing with other precious metal tones such as the aforementioned silver, but also with gold.
