Answer

The color gray was often used by Kirchner to depict Berlin, symbolizing the city's industrialization, pollution, and fast pace of life during the early 20th century. The artist's use of gray conveyed the sense of urban alienation, anonymity, and the emotional state of the city's inhabitants. Kirchner's gray palette captured the essence of Berlin's rapidly changing landscape and the psychological impact it had on its residents.
