Black and Grey are two colors used in Persian carpets recently! They are modern color variations of Persian rug designs, used particularly in machine-made carpets. While minimal decorations became popular among people, using neutral colors such as black, gray, and white became popular too. Today, Persian carpets designers try to use delicate light motifs and patterns on a dark black background or gray fields to create a wonderful image of designs and highlight them. Among Persian carpet styles, Persian town rugs used black and gray more than rustic, tribal, and nomadic types. In carpet workshops of large cities in Iran like Qom and Tabriz, new-woven carpets have dark colors, and many elegant motifs with brilliant colors sit on these dark colors.
Black and gray Persian rugs are mostly dyed with durable chemical dyes. Still, some natural dyes that Persians have used for centuries to obtain these colors include walnut, logwood, raspberry, iron, and turmeric.
Black and gray Persian rugs can be suitable for large spaces and minimal, contemporary, and industrial decorations. As they are neutral colors, they can fit with any other colors. These rugs are also appropriate for high-traffic places exposed to dust and dirt.
