The ancient Greeks primarily used a limited palette for their pottery, with black and red being the most prominent colors. Black-figure pottery featured black figures against a red background, while red-figure pottery reversed this, showcasing red figures on a black background. Additionally, colors like white and brown were sometimes used as accents or for detailing, but the primary focus remained on the stark contrast between black and red.
